Unsuccessful design example

1)

Colors and Images are too busy, and I do not know what advertising tell about the product. Images are all around the design and color is too bright.

2)

It is simple and clean, but typographic is not impressive. And it is not attractive, and I also do not know what design is about.

3)

I think this design does not work well. It is too busy, and image are scattered all around design. Color and images are not cooperate each other.

This method is very interesting and it looks good. I never know this method, and these days I did not know that this kind of method. When I use this method in graphic design, it would be more detail and clean design. However, the processing of the method is complicate, and it takes long time to do design.  It is difficult and, I think I need to learn special skills. I could use this method when client wants detail hand typographic work.

This video was interesting to watch. Punchcutting seems like it is very simple but complicated process. You simply copy the letter to the metal piece but it takes a long time to file down the metal piece to make it look nice. Punchcutting is what we went to in the beginning of the class. Tracing our name. It was not easy to trace the letters but we all did it. Punchcutting is an old method but we cannot ignore it because without it we would not have newspapers in the old days and whatever needed to be printed.

this design is very successful. in this design you can see the line through the word liiiiiiiiiiiiine. i feel that it is very effective that they used the word to illustrate it.

this design is very successful. it is very visual and effective. without getting the pictures of flea onto the ad, they designed the ad big enough so that the walking people would present the flea on the dog.

this a is very successful because it shows exactly how vodka is doing around the world. as you can see, they used vodka bottle from all around the world. you can see how popular vodka is and how it is in the world.

these two design is unsuccessful design because they have too much words on their ad. i believe that people stare at the ad for a long time only if it seems very interesting and appealing but these two ads doesnt make it interesting. because there are so many words on it. it makes it the ad seem crazy and not focused.

this design is unsuccessful because you cannot see what this ad is for. A&F is clothing company but you cant see the clothing at all .

i think this design is unsuccessful because you cant see what this commercial is really about. the words are too small and too light to make it seem like its a Lego commercial.

The method of punch cutting was very tedious. In
the times that it was used, punch cutting was viewed as a career choice. The
level of patience and precision that it took just to design a single letter is
unbelievable. The worker would need a very sharp eye and steady hands for this
kind of work. Thanks to technology advances programs like Indesign make
designing letters seem like child’s play. An assignment for this course would
take me months to finish and submit using the punch cutting method. I can only
imagine the countless amounts of raw material that were used just to accomplish
a simple task.

This design is successful, because the typeface that was chosen gave the advertisement a sophisticated look. The white letters over the blue polo shirt added to the consistent color pattern. I like how the placement of the cologne bottle is at the bottom of the advertisement, because it is the last thing you see.

This is a successful design. The use of negative space really makes the crowd pop out. The short phrase accompanied by the powerful imagery gives this advertisement an epic feel. The color contrast is a nice touch.

This design is unsuccessful, because it is too cluttered. The amount of people in this image takes away from the information that is being given. The facial expressions of the paparazzi don’t make sense with Pitbull’s action.
