This design was used as an ad for kitkat. I thought this was utter brillance. Everyone pretty much knew what it was. It looks like a kit kat that had it wrapper slightly ripped off. The ad also serves as a chair as well.

I thought the design was successful because they turn the city and made it look as it was part of a bicycle wheel. The text was nice and big so you knew it was about a marathon. The idea was about the marathon in the city.

The design for this was smart. It was centered towards the males. They put the car inside a glass box. It resembles those glass boxes where it say ” break in case of emergency ” but instead it says break in case of adventure. The car itself give a sense of adventure and they  wanted you to have that idea

This was a rather unsuccessful design in that they had the jeans in the picture but the idea of jeans was not there. It was put in a rather unique situation that would not make the buyer say ohh I want to buy a pair of jeans.

Car-Financing-Ad

This design was for a car. There is a picture of a car ” sort of”. The car not really there. The words don’t match the picture. The picture look more for eggs than a car. The words can not relate to the picture.

The design for this doesn’t work. The idea of adding a new flavor is great. The idea of a lime pissing in your drink is not. It provides a revolting idea about your drink which you do not want you consumer to have.

 

 

Punch Cutting

This method there is less room for mistakes. If it were on the computer you can always undo all the mistakes. This method if you put it on the paper you have to make sure the letters are aligned. You have to space your letter more carefully. The angles have to be place in the right spots. It limits the design to a certain extent because you have to pay attention to messing up where as on the computer it not that big of a deal

What is Graphic Design.-Eric Lew

“A picture is indeed worth a thousand words.” Graphic designers can take the simplest picture and make it  convey one message or convey many messages depending on how the audience takes of it. This article has contributed to my understanding that graphic design is really everywhere. The clothes you wear, the book you read, the advertisement you see on the bus, and it an essential part of our daily lives. Never in my life have I decided on if I had to rearrange a sign or a poster how would I go about it. This article show me the power of graphic design. There are all these types of way to go about making a design and yet all of them can convey a powerful message.

The question I have for the author is in his/her opinion which type of design is the most effective? The way approach he/she would have on let say a new graphic design company. The most effective way to say what the company is really about. The type of design that would capture the most audiences.
