What is Graphic Design

Graphic design is conveying a message through images and typography. It is used everywhere from books to bridges. When graphic design is done well it makes you feel a certain way. Personally I judge books by its cover and when a book has a great cover it makes me love the book even more. Graphic design can even be land marks, from bridges, to statues, and signs. Graphic design is supposed to make you feel something, the graphic is supposed to tap into your emotion and make you feel or experience something. Every time I se graphic design it makes me wonder who is the person behind that. The way things look changes how you feel. For example how do you feel when you see a stop sign or a bill board? Those are examples of graphic design that is executed well. Graphic design is even on your phone. I make connections with graphic design and what I most connect with is logo design, when I see a design I know how much work goes into that and i wonder how the design came to be.

Also my leadership skills have helped me finish my work on time and work well with others. However, I have a few weaknesses like staying on task and being proactive. My plan to become more proactive is by helping out with more things after school and helping set up the broadcast. I will also sit in on the game day broadcasts and learn how to work the equipment. I will stay on task by working on my portfolio and my blogs. Overall this semester was very successful. I learned how to work well with others and what it takes to be a strong leader. I also learned how to be a go...

Professional Project Review

In this video Lynn Dillard films him and his daughter donating blood to the American Red Cross ( Dilliard, Lynn Wray. "Red Cross Blood Drive." YouTube . YouTube, 17 Aug. 2012. Web. 11 Nov. 2015.) This video didn’t use the rule of thirds when interviewing people. The camera was very shaky when he was filming himself giving blood. Another thing was that there were awkward camera angles and he didn’t use the six shot system. The music choice was poor it didn’t go with the theme or story of the video. This video didn’t really have a story it was mainly a video of them giving blood and it was told through a donors perspective. The one thing I would apply in my video that this video had was that the camera was focused correctly. One thing I’ve learned that this video has is the correct way to white balance. The creator of this video did a decent job on focusing the camera and using good lighting however, they need to work on telling a story an...
