FA 222 project 1 r lectures and workshops part 2-4

FA222 project1 lectures or workshops

The workshop was presented by Ryan Selvi. He is one of the professional graphic designers. Several months ago, he wanted to join Motion Graphics. He had two options, either to enroll in paid courses in a school. Or to learn alone. He decided to learn on his own. The workshop was rich in many aspects and stages. Where I see that the follow-up to this workshop was rich in several aspects and stages. I see that following this broadcast will help in gaining experience in many different aspects of graphic design. Including: How to eliminate boredom while working for long hours, facing frustrations and challenges as a graphic designer, and the importance of choosing the right person to work with. He also talked about working on the Adobe After Effects program to do animation and motion graphics work. The workshop was interesting and rich. Among the skills of the After Effects program, which he touched on how to set and adjust the correct settings, put animation on the image, the effect of color gradation on the background and mind of the recipient, and how to put the keyframe. Also, criticizing the artworks of another artist and designer helps to avoid some of the mistakes that we make as designers while working. This is another reason for me to insist that this workshop was a mass of precious culture. You can follow the broadcast through the link above.

FA222 project 1 advertisements design 2 This ad for juice. I saw it a while ago on YouTube and when I opened their site I found a picture of the ad. The unity of color is a beautiful thing. As the focus on the green color and its gradations focus on the product and its content. And the fact that the juice was on lemon and kiwi, this reinforced his concept and principle. The white space suggests the luxury of the product and its delicious taste. Because of it, it makes you as a recipient feel that this juice is special and that you want to try it. I feel that the media text is weak and not commensurate with the luxury of the design. If it contained, for example, a rhyme, it would have been different. But it remains one of the designs that attracted me and stayed in my mind.

FA222 project 1 advertisements design 1

What makes this ad strong is the color contrast between orange and green. As the color contrast contributes to enhancing it and keeping it in the mind of the recipient. The balance between its elements as a whole gives a sense of comfort. As for the white space, it was used in a beautiful and creative way. This is due to the distribution of the elements in the advertisement. As distributing it in this way suggests that the product is of an average price in the hands of everyone. And what confirms this is the presence of many other elements distributed on the advertisement, but they are not many. This is what is usually used for mid-priced products. It is true that the color contrast enhanced the value of the advertisement. But the lack of it between the orange color and the hand holding the sandwich is very annoying. Or rather, very distracted. As there is a great similarity between the colors, which makes the mind of the recipient distracted between the transition from the product to the background. The presence of repetition in the arrows that indicate the name is clearly intended to emphasize the name and its importance. I still don't understand what the wavy lines are for this way. But I think it's to combine the elements. If this is their goal then I think the ad designer should use another way to do it. Because it has nothing to do with advertising. This advertisement spread on social media, especially on Instagram.

FA222 project1 Gallery 3

creative Fruition Gallery This exhibition was opened only two days ago by Frances Nicholess in order to support and develop the visual concept of the students of the course. I chose this exhibition because it is similar to our Visual Communication Skills course. It also helps and enhances skills through visual feeding. Many students participated in the exhibition, most notably: Alexandrea Denis, Mikail Jake, Dannafe soco, kyle Mari, kane Fabon, judi elle, Honsel Mie, Jarett Daniel, pierre paolo, Darla Monica, Honsel Mie. The exhibition contains approximately 61 paintings and artwork, each with different techniques and distinct from the other. And this was the intelligence of the founder of the exhibition. If it had not been chosen by many students, the difference would not have been at this level. It is something special and beautiful. I did not get tired of re-roaming in it more than five times, and if I had the extra time, I would do it again. So, without the slightest hesitation, I will come back to visit him again. The color contrast between the works is something special, but unfortunately some of the paintings do not apply some of the principles of graphic design and the rules of the center of attention. Of course the painting served its purpose in terms of visual communication. However, it is important to apply the principles and principles of artistic design in order to avoid disturbing the eye or its feeling that something is wrong with the painting. Thus, the mind of the recipient is distracted. This, of course, does not diminish the importance of the exhibition or in terms of aesthetics in the works, which, without a doubt, will not tire any recipient of looking at them. And roaming. And the beautiful thing is that it does not matter where you are from or where you live because you can visit this exhibition at any time you want, as it is available by default.

Yami's photography & drawing gallery This gallery is a bit new as it opened 23 days ago. This is one of the solo exhibitions "Businesses for One Person Only", as this exhibition deals with Yami Hashimato's works only. Among the aspects of this exhibition are approximately twenty-one works. Yami's use of different tools and the distinctive ways between one work and another makes the beholder think that it is for more than one artist. Despite her young age, she has the creativity that makes her a distinguished artist. The exhibition includes different types of arts: photography, painting, hand-woven. If this indicates anything, it is the child's skill and multiple talents. There are about 9 works in photography under the titles: Bird and woem’s view reptition, posterization, focus assignment, Background and foreground, double exposure self portrait, product photography, and B&W portrait collage. As for her artwork, she used different materials, and this indicates the passion for work, and the desire to continue it. And I think that if she continued to practice and draw more, her skills would have developed significantly, and the reason for this was the clarity of her ability and artistic talent at a young age. Being a virtual exhibition available to everyone using VR technology, it contributed to its publication and to support the skills of the child artist. This gives the viewer a delicious pleasure while moving between its sides.

FA222 project 1 interview2

Who are you?

 Jack Watson, full-time ui/ux designer in Cleveland, OH, live streamer on Behance, and occasional Adobe Live host. I have 10+ years’ experience as a medical illustrator and animator before switching careers to ui/ux work which I've done for 2-3 years now. I also work freelance doing illustration and branding primarily, as well as graphic design and print work at my current agency.

How did you get to where you are today?

Work, just hard work, honestly. I just kept working and putting my work out there. I was able to transition careers by doing freelance work in the field I wanted to move into.

Who supported or encouraged you to develop your talent?

Early on I'd say mostly my wife was my biggest supporter, he encouraged me to let go of the idea that I had to fit the medical illustration stereotype and explore the work that made me happy instead. I eventually found the Adobe creative communities on discord, and they've been very helpful and supportive, I wish I had had that sort of community when I was in college. My college was very competitive.

In your opinion, what makes a professional graphic designer?

 Honestly if you do the work, you're a professional, there's not really a specific moment, or level of skill attained, or pay that separates you from an amateur to a professional. Focus on time spent on your craft, and learning in all aspects of your career and interests, that's the most important thing.

advice for novice designers:

Don't get discouraged or impatient. It's really hard to see the light at the end of the tunnel when you're early in your career, or you're still learning, and you see all of these successful people. You'll likely face some negative feedback, and discouragement from others, just take it in, be humble, and keep growing.

FA 222 interview1

Corrado Bianchtii is an Italian comic artist and graphic designer. I never get bored of following his work and his progress. Because of its distinctive and unique style. This is the reason why it was the first thing that crossed my mind to interview him. Corrado believes that one of the main reasons for his success in his field is that he does not present work in an ordinary way. It is important to be creative and present the work in a way that no one else can do. The most beautiful thing about being a Graphic Designer and Comic Artist is that it's different, you have to be different to advance the work. And being unique has to be yours. This, of course, led to his success in his field of work. It is important as a graphic designer to have relationships with people. Not only those who follow your business but also those who would help you to develop your business. who give you a feedback about your business and how to develop it. And your relationship with other artists and designers as well and working with them. One of the most important things for a graphic designer is to care about his goal. And that he seeks through his work to achieve his goal and ambition. And focus on the final work and how to get it out. It doesn't matter how people interact with your business as much as it matters that you achieve its goal. Corrado advises other designers to find a team. Find people you can work with and get paid. Because you have to reach a point where you cannot achieve all the work on your own and you will need other people. So find those who complement your deficiencies and develop your abilities and skills. You can follow his work through: http://www.corracomics.com/

project 1 colegsirgar gallery part1

This exhibition opened 10 months ago, and it continues today. Displayed via VR technology, viewers can feel as if they are inside the exhibition. This exhibition was sponsored and created by Simon Thomas. He is a graphic designer and photographer in addition to being a lecturer for students at a university. His exhibition includes some of his students' selected works, on a wide range of creative levels. Including photography, graphics and artwork. The exhibition contains 41 artworks. It also reflected in its artistic contents many contemporary and modern issues. Among the most prominent issues that the exhibition tried to address: the accumulated pain, the loss of hope, loneliness, the negative effects of Corona, progress, freedom, the situation in the markets and streets, and the family. Among the most important students participating in the exhibition: rachad lewis, Naimi Reberts, Nye Edwards, Phray Mason, Flynn McDonald, Katie May, Karen Klagen.

The form of the exhibition and the issues it deals with attract the viewer in between. She makes him feel as though she means him directly, even if she doesn't. Unfortunately, the works were distributed according to the person who prepared them, and not according to the issue they are dealing with. And for me, I think it is important that the works are presented according to the sequence of issues, because of the effect of the character on the recipient. Especially since the artist will not have to sit near his paintings to talk about it as it is a virtual exhibition.

The total number of visitors to the exhibition is 276. It was very fun. This exhibition is considered a mass of culture, as art is one of the biggest gates to culture.

White space is one of the most important elements in the design. She embodied this element in addition to two of the Gestalt principles together. In the first, the white space represents the background part and between the face and eye elements to give an aesthetic image. The human eye also tends to close the shapes around it, and this supports the principle of closure in Gestalt. As for the second, at first sight we can see two women facing each other, but when we look closely we will notice the harp between the two times. This also supports the Gestalt principle of form and background. In this way, I was able to use the shape and the background in a creative way.
