good and bad designs

GOOD DESIGN

IBM-logo-SS_0

 

The first design is the logo of “IBM” company. This logo is design very nice. It is out standing with the bold letter and combine with the horizontal strips to high light the letter. The logo is special in the way that people will be have a good effect on it that easy to remember and impress on it.

smoking die

The second picture is good design because it is simple and vivid that people understand the massage of bad effect of smoking. The dirt is shown in a dying person figure. It is very effective.

BAD DESIGN

 

suicide-bad-ad

 

This design is bad because the word “suicide.” I don’t know how the designer is thinking of suicide, but in common sense for most people suicide is not a good thing to do. It is about morality that let people know that suicide is not a good way to solve the problem. But, the designer designs this word in a very cool and fun way by using the typeface and the yellow background. Also, it using the space to show the message of “right to die,” that is not good.

cloretsgross

This advertising is bad design because the whole picture is disgusting. Even though the idea of this is about the gun can help for the bad smile but it is not good to show in this way with a stinky and dirty sock and fish from the mouths. It makes me don’t want to know how well the gun can help, but the bad feeling by seeing it.

What is Graphic Design?

After I read the article, I realize that graphic design is really all around in our life.I understand some basic information about graphic design. Graphic design is interior design, or visual communication design. It is based on vision as a way to communicate and perform through a variety of ways to create and combine symbols, images and text, thereby making use to convey ideas or visual representation of message. Graphic designer may use typography, layout, visual arts, and other aspects of professional skills to achieve the purpose of the creation of the plan. Graphic design usually refers to the process of design, and the final completion of the works.

In the article, it mentions six types of designs: Typed-based design, image and type, symbols, logos, and logotypes. Usually graphic design are for logo ( trademark and brand ) , publications ( magazines, newspapers and books ) , print ads , posters , billboards , website graphic elements , logos , and product packaging. For example, trademark or other works of art which may include product packaging, the layout of text and pure design elements such as style uniform images, shapes and colors. Usually a designer use his/her best effort to create the best works for his/her client, but not the client knows or understand what the theme and inspiration about the design and only know that is beautiful. So, how designer explain in the common easy way to let the client to understand his/her design? I propose a possible answer can be: the designer should base the understanding of the client and using as simple as possible explain and leading the client to know why and how to get the idea of the design which fit what the client wants. If I were the designer, I would using simple, clear way to explain, bring out some example will be the good way to let client to understand.
