Minor Project 16:

For my Major Project 5, I have decided to use the booklet template, but it is not a definite decision yet. The look and feel will be relaxing and nothing too "out there". I think I am going to do it in a timely fashion and not overload on the ideas for it. The type will probably be larger than normal with a unique style of font. Overall, my MP5 will be simple yet solid.

When I first opened the Graphic Design School book, I was amazed at all of the information I had not known. I never realized how much work it takes to make a picture unique from an ordinary blotch on a piece of paper. The techniques used to draw attention to one part of the picture interested me very much. I especially love the near/far technique because it challenges your mind and eyes while you become amazed with the image. Along with this, the differences in colors such as the hue and saturation came new to me as well. The meanings of each different color in other parts of the country made me think of what other customs are completely different to us and in other countries. All of this information was pretty much a new world of design for me. The section on text techniques was very interesting and significant to me because now I understand and am able to make a plain, simple text layout into a visual and readable masterpiece. There are so many design techniques that I have never even knew existed. However, along with this information from the book and the information and examples from the other Adobe design books, I hope to learn and become even more fascinated with Interactive Digital Design than I originally had.

Minor Project 13:

For my MP4, I have chosen to do a one page spread, possibly 2-page spread, of an article from espn.com. This article will involve the finale to the world cup and Italy's victory. The target audience will most likely be soccer fans, or sports fans in general. The theme will be teamwork and victory obviously. I will have 2 columns of text with pictures inside of the text to show what had happened at the world cup.

Part 1:

What I first found to be significant and important is within the discussion on formats. I agree that when starting to develop ideas, the first idea to keep in mind is to stay away from the computer. Once you start up on the computer, you might miss certain steps to start the project. What was new to me was the term USP-a unique selling proposition. This sounds like it is a distinct characteristic of quality that is different from all other ads.
