Blog homework 2

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.

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.

What is Graphic Design?

The article explains what graphic design is. Even though we may not realize how important graphic design is, graphic design is often influencing our decisions each day. The article explains that there are image-based design and type-based design. The image-based design would be a way to represent an idea through images, such as photography, drawing, and others. The type-based design would be a way to represent an idea through words. The two designs are used daily in our lives to present and convey message to us.

My question to the author would be, “what would be a better communication to convey message? Visual or Verbal?” The author might answer the question as “Visual is better communication” The author might answer that way because the author is graphic designer. I believe that a graphic design might be better communication than verbal communication because I believe in that saying “a picture is worth a thousand words.” If the visual communication if powerful enough, I believe that it would convey more message than verbal communication.
