Graphic Design Blog Assignment: Week #4


I chose this image because I like Pokemon and I thought this typography was well made.
The first thing i noticed was Pikachu's tail is brighter than Pikachu. It makes Pikachu's
tail stand out and gives the image a good effect. Another good effect in my opinion
is the authors choice is making the important things a larger font. It lets the audience
know that those words are important and or crucial to Pokemon.
 I also like how everything that makes up Pikachu has to do with Pokemon. 
I like the contrast in Pikachu's ears and the background. Pikachu's ears seem to be
a softer shade of black and it breaks off well with the black background.
The artist also did a awesome job with Pikachu's eyes, he added
small detail with Pikachu's eyes that makes Pikachu's eyes stand out. I
really liked this typography it gave me ideas of what I can do to mine.

Graphic Design Blog Assignment: Week #3


I didn't really think much of the design when I started. After I started I started to look at all the shapes
that made up the design. I picked that color design because it was the first analogous color scheme I found. 
The color scheme makes the audience feel calm and not feel to excited. I was shooting for that because
this type of car is more casual then exciting. I think this piece could be used in a poster showing how
cars were back then.

Graphic Design Blog Assignment: Week #2


I think the Nike swish logo symbolizes me as a individual. It describes my personality because I like to stay active by being in sports. Along with that the Nike slogan is "Just do it", I tend to just do stuff because I think if you take a lot of time to think about it you are wasting time which you could be using to do whatever you need to do. Also the Nike logo is plain and simple, I consider myself a bit plain and simple. The Nike logo is shown in different sports and products. In a way it's like me because i'm involved in many things and not just on one thing. The Nike logo is also widely accepted by many people. I get along with mostly everybody I meet. The Nike swoosh logo in general is a great logo and is recognized by many people.

Graphic Design Blog Assignment: Week #1


I really like this image because by all the detail the artist put into it. I would change the color of the
 shoe because I don't really like the color of it. The image seems to be a girls shoe by the colors 
used in the image and also by some of the designs on the shoe. I like how there is a lot of space
 in the image so that the viewer will not get tired with the image. The attention also is in the bottom
 right of the image and not in the middle. This is a image were you have to take more time to observe to see 
every little detail that the artist put in the image. The shoe is sending a message to me that 
Nike shoes are used all over the world and that the shoes can be more original and unique then other shoes. 
I think it does a good job in sending that message.
