Watche paranormal activity for the first time which was kinda scary.. not going to lie. then went to bed and "tried" to sleep.

chapter 3 layout

Chapter 3 was also about using the grid system, columns and picking correct font and font sizes that are not going to take away from your design. We should pick fonts that are going to complement our designs. We have to be carful with the type because if we play with they size and spacing the message could get lost. We need to always remember the guide lines of design and once we start breaking the main guidelines that is when the meaning of our designs seem to be lost and our message unclear.

chapter 2 layout

Reading chapter 2 i learned new things about the grid system, it was interesting to me because the way they used the grid to set up new compositions in there art. It should be a tool that every design learns to use to help with their compositions. There was also a quote about what what makes a successful design. All though i don't agree with everything on that list i do think that the most important is the less is more rule. That saying has came up in more then just one of our readings in class, probably because it is what designers struggle most with. Once we learn to make more with less we can really make our designs successful.

i thought these posters were very pop art style with its bright colors to get your attention

also this link deco

this artist is very art dada i thought how they used the different elements to bring it together. this is the style i would like to kind of follow for my project.

Meaning of the posters

2010-02-22T18:05:27Z

Poster 1: the meaning behind this poster is suppose to represent growth in peace. stating that this is the year we start to grow a new world. I used a tree to represent growth and then put the date as its leaves and it also made it to look like a globe so that you could get the point of growing a new world.

Poster 2: the meaning behind this poster is that we need to break the ground for peace, To start working towards the worlds problems. i show this by having a shovel also used with type breaking in to the ground and as it does all these colors start to come out which could mean by breaking the surface everything is going to get better.

After reading the first article i felt that away to get a lot of peoples attention is to relate your design to something that is very well known around the world. but i was wondering if there are limitations on how far you can actually take an ad. And what does the apple company feel like that now something they started advertising for is coming back to look like they had something to do with Abu Ghraib prison fiasco, but all in all it got peoples attention, and thats one prime focus of being a good designer.. even tho this may or may not have upset apple. I think its a good idea to relate to somethings sometimes but you want to try to get an original design so you can be the one who is getting there designs copied.
