moving mountains

This project wasn't too hard, all we had to do was copy the instructions that we were given and do them exactly. I enjoyed being able to learn how to place items behind one another in photoshop, and make them look realistic. There was nothing that was very complex and I knew how to use all of the tools required.

The next time i do this, I would change the way i placed shadows and my position of my mountain. It doesn't look good enough for me.

I would keep my extras that I added in the same because I feel that it is creative.

Creative Anarchy

Creative Anarchy

In the article, the author discusses the fact that designers are breaking rules of design, and the ways that they are doing this. “There are no new ideas in design” states the article, as it says that you must ‘steal taken ideas, and re-redesign them’. The author makes point by saying that you must redesign something if you want to be successful in the design world. The article is strong in the sense that it was well written for the point it was getting across. The main weakness of the article is the repetitiveness. The article constantly mentions to ‘break the rules’ and to ‘show creative anarchy’ and the ways to show creative anarchy.

The author’s final thoughts of the article are that if you don’t break the rules and change things in design, you will be passed up, and looked over. You need to break the rules to stand out and to be noticed. The author does however support his claim to ‘break the rules of design’ enough to make the article legitimate and arguable.

Although the article was well thought out, I did not enjoy this article. I believed it was a waste of time to read and I wished that I would have read something interesting. This article was boring and had no appeal to me and I wish to work on things related to e-Comm instead of reading articles with little to no resemblance to graphic design. The only similarities that this article held to graphic design was the fact that it was about design. You can’t break any rules if there are no rules to break, and we always copy ideas, and redesign them anyways to make them ours.

Motif and pattern

 My Motif took no design at all and no design process. I took a shield and duplicated it to rotate around on the point of the top of the shield. I united the 4 shields and gave it a white fill.

I placed 4 random arcs inside of the shields, and placed a blue rectangle around the shape to make sure it matched the blue that we chose e-Comm.

My pattern was easy and only included 1 circle that was rotated multiple times, as well as each circle was butted up against each other, with one more circle in the middle to fill space.

Pencils

When I tried to create my pencils, I had zero ideas on what to make, so I used some influence from friends. I used the same technique to create my creative pencil as I did when I created the "stock" pencil. While creating my complete personal piece, I wanted something with a bit of challenge, but with a sense of ease to it; that is why I chose to do Austin's Bar & Grill.

My three big takeaways from this project were: 1) How to split lines on the pencil evenly. 2) How to make 3-Dimensional objects that can have other excess objects placed inside of them. 3) While creating a creative piece, choose something not to complex, something that won't take to much time to create, but is not to easy at the same time.

wrestler video review

This video/interview was all about a teenage girl who wrestles and power lifts. Her family is very active in power lifting also and encourage her through her hobby. A few men wrestlers are interviewed in this video and it takes their opinion on what they think of a female wrestler. This video shows very nice shot composition, and some mid shots that don't have particular shots, but are nicely placed in general. This entire story was shot in a video, and was all about the teens life, how her daily routine goes, and what she does to work out and competition. On my own projects, I would use the type of shots produced in the video, and I would use the different types of close ups. I already knew how to make a half medium shot, and I saw it used in the video. The video creator did a very good job at close ups, and shot sequence. The creator could improve on using less shots that are not involved in the subject of the video (less extra shots).  

What is graphic design

Graphic design: Natural art, ideas, concepts, layouts, designs, a way of expressing yourself through visual art. Graphic design can be found anywhere in the world, at any building, box, or piece of merchandise. Clothing designers use design to create cool looks that satisfy the interests of people. Graphic design is full of elements that appeal to the eye and make us want to see more, but also make us want to create some ourselves.

Graphic design is used in many professions making it a great job to have if you're successful, but can be a great fall back as a hobby and secondary career.
