Call to Action Poster Final by Juan Diaz


Call to Action Poster Final



When it came to making these designs for the posters I found this somewhat challenging. Forming the ideas of the poster was simple because of our previous work with making the spreads and photo montages. Out of the 3 made here the first one is the one I enjoy the most. The first one, although a simple background provides a clear answer to the topic of my social issue. I made it so the handcuffs were broken separating the tow text to make it stand out. Of course at the bottom includes the Shutdown Rikers saying to bring back attention to the reader or view. The fonts for the three were the ones I used in the spread assignment being JMH Typewriter. The middle poster is the one I least like due to its simpleness and lack of proper touches to make the topic standout. The reason the hand is red is to represent pain and suffering inside the prison cell. The last poster I want to add at least a face with the hand holding to the bar. The face was going to be half lit to show that part of the persons humanity and hope has disappeared with the other part just hidden. However I decide to do a more simpler route for this design.

Refining my logo by Juan Diaz

Image
  R efining My Logo    With the 15 design that I had to make I decided to use the design of the side glasses with the original Diaz Achieves on the side of the glasses legs. To ensure my logo would work I choose to make the name of the logo bigger in each design. This would allow to make it more easier to be seen with the design of the glasses. In each design I used different fonts and moved them around to see which would look most appealing. While moving them I also used the different type tool like kerning and tracking to enhance the quality and effectiveness of my text. With the use of kerning and tracking it allowed the text of my logo to be just as big as the design itself making go to see and understand. Out of the 15 design I have created my favorite final work is the black and gray side glasses with the reddish-pink background with the gray color. This one is my favorite as it doesn't take up a lot of space and both the design and the name of the logo can be seen equally. W

  Show/share how your data can be visualized My data can be visualized through the use of graph and inside picture of the prisoners conditions.   What design(s) are influencing your work? It not really designs that is influencing work but the different picture taken and capture that show the conditions of Rikers. Furthermore the story of Kailef Browder and how he committed suicide because of being locked for 700 days in prison. This is what's influence my work for prison mistreatment.

What design motifs are you considering? A design motif I am considering is a silhouette to properly show the mistreatment. Or I may not use motifs entirely  Is this piece for a specialized audience and how would that impact your design? This design is made specifically for mayor and govern of New York to actually spread awareness of

Motion Graphics: Logo

Image
 Motion Graphics: Logo When it came to actually try to animate my design it was quite difficult as I didn't really like my sketch of the storyboard for the animation. So I decide on a bouncing type of animation with the glasses leg and the main frame of the glasses. To properly make the 8 sec I also decide to start the animation small from the middle to give it enough space for all the symbol and object to bounce around. This was also done to have enough time to make the symbols bigger with every bounce done. Although I feel that I could have done better with making a proper and more professional animation. As for the new revised version of my design(the one that is shown on the blog) I have done a few minor changes.  For one I have speeded up the speed of the rectangle for the background to make it enlarge faster. I cut around 3 sec from the previous draft to make it faster. I also decide speed up the appearance and enlargement of my logo name "Diaz Archives" to make it
