Professional Article Review

In the article "Creative Anarchy at its Very Best" the author is simply saying that there are rules to design and sometime you need to follow them. The author is saying that you need embrace creative Anarchy and how to incite anarchy. In the article the author argues thats sometimes you need to follow the rules of design and that it is ok to branch off from the rules and create something different. A piece of evidence that supports the authors argument is "Not every project calls for a design that follows the rules" (paragraph 7). by using this piece of evidence the author is saying that every design is unique and the rules for design are bend able. This articles main strength is the creativity used to explain the concept. The article presents clear evidence to support the claim. however the articles main weakness is that the agreement is not clearly stated you have to do some inferring to find out what the author is arguing about. In general the author concludes that the rules of graphics design are bendable and everyone shouldn't follow the trend, it is okay to branch out and create something different.  My critique for this article is that the main points are not very significant in real life unless your job haas something to do with design. The authors claim support the main point that the rules are not mandatory to follow. The evidence is convincing because it supports the claim. The one thing I could apply in my designs as a graphic designer is that you can branch out from the rules ad create something completely different. Overall the article was interesting and creative but it lacked a clear argument.

I created this logo by using adobe illustrator. I used the shape tool to create the circle and then i used the color tool to change the color to blue. I then used the triangle tool to create the chevron effect and used the color tool to change the colors. I also used the type tool to type my name and changed the font to reflect my girly and feline side.  Some problems I faced while creating my logo were creating the chevron pattern and figuring out how to position my name.  I addressed the problems by first testing out different shapes and lines to form the chevron then i used different colors to create the illusion of chevron. Some things i did well in the logo project was creating the illusion of chevron and the different colors that went into my logo. However I still need to work on adding different levels of interest and adding more depth. Next time I do this project I will spend more time on details and on the shape and less time on choosing fonts. ...

I read about the  Las Vegas Shooting  and the tragic loss their city has faced. The reporter did a great job giving the public specific information on who the killer was and his life before the shooting. They also did well titling the story because it stated the 4 w's. They could improve by giving more information on the victims and about the festival. Also they should've stated new information. I didn't learn any new formation in this article because they are repeating what was said on the news. I learned that I need to include the 5 W's in my recap. I also learned that you need to give new information in my recap. Also I will write more informative articles and use more visual aids.

I watched a USC football recap USC Football recap  that ESPN produced and they did a great job using a shot sheet. They told me the situation, action, and the result. The commentator also continuously told me what quarter the event occurred and what the score was. ESPN also used interesting graphics to tell the audience the situation. They need to work on more enthusiasm and personality with the voice overs.  The shots could be a little more varied. He needed to use more analysis and less of an overview. He could've gotten an interview with the coach and another player. I can implement some of these things in my videos and news packages. I would use the shot sheet more. I would also need to use a cool lower thirds because it made the video interesting. In the video they also used graphics and I can use that in my packages as well.
