Problem statement: Placement and Topic Problem description: Making an infographic, you want it to look very clean as well as professional so things do not look all jumbled together. You want it easy on the eyes so the viewer can read what you want them to. Target Audience: School Students Goals: To make a infographic that will be easy to understand the subject matter and to get across this is (insert topic ideas) Constraints: The size of the canvas and orientation are going to be a big struggle since I am use to more square or wide canvas's. Budget: Trying to not spend any money on programs or assets besides what I have currently on my computer. Deliverables: To allow people to have a brief knowledge of the solar system inside the asteroid belt and out of it. Deadlines: The dead line is November 30th, 2020. I should be able to get everything done by that time and have the file for the critique.

Also there is a link for the asteroid belt I believe in there so hopefully this helps you see professor if you look here. Just as a sources page because I take no effort in the facts.

 

 

 

 So the revisions of my book project went well and fizzed things down to the two versions of the book covers that should be touched up and turned in for the final project. Personally happy with the two that were selected because my first one was not as good and cohesive as the top right and bottom left. They were just super clean and very different from each other which is the whole purpose of the project. I also think that they give off the same feeling while the composition is drastically different color wise. So the one that gets the cut is the top left as it is the weakest in all areas. All that is left for the final version is making a PDF with the final touches on bringing the font in more for more space on the edges, then a personal want to change the vertical versions font to be something a bit more readable.

  So the first critique actually went better than expected with small changes needed which was astounding since I thought there would have been more. Glad to have less problems with this then I had with project 1. The big parts were spacing of the fonts, font styles being too similar, then exaggerating things a bit to fit for the image dominant and text dominant. The big plays with be making those changes and applying the fonts that would look like their on the cover of horror, mystery, or thriller books. Once those are applied, then it will be messing with the letting and kerning for the spacing of the title to not be too close to the edges.

     So I am puzzling the idea of either a horror book or something that is murder mystery like since it would be a easy approachable genre to find minimalist artwork for them. The main approach I want to go at is finding artwork with common color schemes, layouts, and executions. That is currently where I am, but hope to be more meticulous as I follow through with steps 10/20/2020     After a lot of research, Alfred Hitchcock and a lot of the posters based around him are what I want to go for in terms of genre and color style. Sadly his stuff is horror, but I want more thriller/mystery with my cover. 

 

      The ending outcome was super nice to me, but it is something that is going out on a limb with a super simplistic design for a simple phone designs. I think the art design looks cohesive and as this was a little re-learning of the adobe programs. The biggest problem of the last version was just because it did not meet the size of what was needed for the ad. Was way too skinny and it was just way too cut down. The minimalist brown wood background is set also just meant to really work for both, but personally I believe that the brown background makes your eye really zoom in on the green and black ad. The biggest struggles of this project was just the re-learning and trying to meet the level of the other students which was very intimidating because so many made such complex and detailed works verses my own. I definitely want to step it up when it comes to the other projects and be open to using textures, graphics, and breaking up of things. Graphic design has this organized ideals, b

 

     The biggest change i got from the professor was to put the text inside the phone screens in order to kind of clean things up. It did look kind of clunky and played extremely safe before which is a struggle on something with a grade. Taking what I could, played with a multitude of fonts, paired things together so that nothing would look too disjointed.  The biggest struggle was to make things have a little more pizzazz without going to crazy to where the message gets lots. So did some gradient work, added some speckles of colors to ride of Samsung's space theme which was such a great idea to not have a solid color background completely. I do not think this will meet the size needed for the project, but I will change what is needed if the professor says anything. Also the new idea was to center on Samsung's Knox security which is on every single version of their phones which is amazing since they are thinking about the users security and data. In the times we live in where w

 I think the biggest things that happened with this project was the narrowing of an idea. Originally i wanted to do a ad sort of like showing of the qualities of phone before wanting to changed the idea entirely because it was just something that seemed too hard to show the class. There would be no good text besides practically copying Samsung's ads which would have no form of originality. If i went the way i wanted original with just the aura glow backs, it would ultimately fail since it would be something to pull teeth on creatively. So I decided to changed to the front and make little quotes in the screen then text to the sides.
