How posters work by Juan Diaz

 

  • Start a new blog post called “how posters work”

  • Write a reflection (100 word minimum) for each poster that

    • summarizes her reason for including the poster in the lecture

    • how it might impact your own poster design




The poster work "The Simpsons by Albert Exergian is an art work that I like for its simplicity and straightforwardness. This work can impact my own spread as I can make a simple prison cell or people protesting outside of a cell to show a call of action. The reason she include this poster is because we as people have a set idea of an image or design we can reference to. In this case this target the main protagonist in the series, Homer Simpson with his M shape hair on his side. Doing a basic idea of a big problem can help people understand the issue at hand.  



WW2 propaganda is a poster design that I love as it gets straight to the point and show the unnecessary dangers people and soldiers go through to fight. This can impact my poster  design by showing more danger and action than words. This will allow for people to better understand the situation for my topic. The reason she chose this topic is because it shows a lot of emotion and tone about the situation of the war. It shows how bad the situation is in the midst of the war. Furthermore it puts ourselves in the perspective of the soldiers and the people trying to survive.


The poster design "Competition for lighting" by Yusaka Kamekura is a poster that shows positive and negative space. This poster also works with lighting as people don't really see a black light bulb or have though of one. Although simple this also allows for other colors outside of the bulb to be made and to stand out more. This creates contrast. 



This World War 2 poster by the Office of War is used by Ellen to show the importance of item or stuff when their placed in the middle of a poster. This created the main point that people show wasted less resources during the war to give to the soldiers. This picture is also on a angle  allowing to show a sense of drama and action. This can help me as I can use angle to create more drama and action within my poster.




This poster design of Edward McKnight Kauffer called Oxhey Woods was a poster that was included by Ellen because it allow people to enter the scene. The use of the path in his work gave people a chance to enter a story and be apart of. This can help my own poster design as I can make design that can put people in the shows of prisoners in my social issue topic. This will allow them to create their own thoughts of the situation around them.

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 fonts are you considering?                     Evil Typewriter                                             Typerwriter font Roughs: What colors are you considering? 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

 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
