Blog Entry 17 – Final Project: Brochure Spreads

For my project design, I decided to do something that was interesting and not many people get to experience. The front page includes the title of the company for this brouchure and the boat that is being used. The inside panels just tell a little information about the company and small facts about some of the buildings that you will be seeing. I decided just to use a simple font to keep it formal and clean. The color scheme was found using Kueller because I wanted to use colors that went well with each other. The pictures were all taken by me.

Blog Entry 16 – Magazine Spreads

This is a successful spread because it has the title in large print and the first few words of the article are bigger and bolder than the rest. It also contains subheadings for new information. Also in this spread is a dialog box which describes a picture.

This is a successful spread because it contains an important quote of the article. Also the columns are lined up nicely and a subheading is used to change topics.

This is successful because the columns are lined up nicely, a subheading is include in change of topic, and the dialog box describes the pictures.

I like this spread because it works around the picture at the bottom of the page. New topics are easily distinguished by the bold at the begging of the new paragraphs.

This is a neat spread because the columns are aligned with the pictures nicely. The break of the columns to describe the camera is also nicely placed.

The business I came up is called Cianci's Donuts by the Beach. I was thinking of calling it something else, maybe along the lines of Cianci's Shore Donuts, but I feel like by the beach sounds more fitting. I came up with this idea because every year we go on vacation, my dad and I always talk about how we should open up a donut shop near the beach because there really isn't many of them around. I feel like I can represent this business as the designer because I'm in the process of making a logo that will really stand out to customers.

Blog Entry 12 – The Non-Designer's Design Book: Type Categories

This is an example of modern type face because it has a striking appearance to it.

This is script type face because it flows together with each character very well.

This is a good example of slab serif type face because the serifs are literally slabs and there is very little thick to thin transition.

This is a great example of sans serif type face because there are no serifs anywhere and the thick to thin transition is non existant

This is decoration type face because the font has nice little decorative features in and around it.

This is a great example of oldstyle type face because the the serifs on the lowercase letters are slanted, there is a diagonal stress on the letters, and there is a thick to thin transition easily seen.

Blog Entry 12 – The Non-Designer's Design Book: Type Categories

This is an example of concord text type because it is all the same size, color, and font face. It is also very repetitive.

This is an example of conflict text type because there is so much going on here with different colors and sizes that you can't focus on just one thing.

This is another example of concord text type because the main thing you look at is all plain and the same looking.

Another example of conflict because you can only make out a few examples of words because everything is literally in 'conflict'.

This is a good example of contrasting text type because it forces your eyes onto the people getting married and you move your eyes from there. Everything on here is very exciting.

Another great example of contrast because the title of the book is much bigger and at a brighter color than the rest of the cover, forcing your eyes to it first.
