Graphic Design Field Analysis

This is an anti-smoking advertisement geared towards parents of young children. The advertisement is overall plain and simple; it gets straight to the point when you look at it and utilizes a dark theme. This anti-smoking advertisement is trying to evoke a sense of “parental guilt” into parents who smoke. The way the advertisement is able to do this is through the use of an optical illusion, use of text and the use of negative space.

I also sat down with Professor Kern Cox from the Graphic Communications department. Together we went over why I thought Graphic Communications was a great fit for me and how I could complete the major in a reasonable amount of

The Gathering is an acrylic painting of a woodpile in Peterborough, NH. The image represents the gathering of ideas and people that led the painting’s success. The first visual element that comes to mind when I look at this painting is the direction. The painting’s direction is vertical because it gives the illusion that the viewer is looking towards the top of a hill to a woodpile. The woodpile is considered the “figure” in which is detached and focused on while the surround hill is the “ground”.

The simple question had left me stumbling. I had expected to discuss my collegiate aspirations with the interviewer, but up until that exact moment, I never realized how difficult it would be to formulate a cogent response; my interests seemed too widespread and distinct to ever be integrated into a single pathway.

Taking the first step in deciding what career path to follow can be exceedingly challenging. I decided to make an appointment at The Career and Employment Services Department to get some help. There, we could review my personality and interest assessments to figure out if the career I wanted, was a career I would be a good fit for. My appointment was set for September 17th, 2015 at 3:00 pm with ____________.

I’ve acquired an Associate Degree in Architecture but eventually my interest has shifted to Graphic Design which suits my artistic side more. When it comes to design, I always try to be open minded and to always think outside of the box. I believe that each and every project is a learning experience, and in my time as a freelance graphic designer and illustrator, I’ve refined old skills and acquired new ones (for example, creating typefaces and lettering) that helped me in delivering compelling, personal, and unique designs that meet and exceed my clients’ expectations.

While desktop publishing and graphic design share many similarities, they are not the same. However, they do have some common capabilities and features, and that can lead to confusion for those who are not sure exactly what sets each apart from the other. Both desktop publishing and graphic design are processes used to bring creative things to life. Desktop is the process of using the computer and specific types of software to combine text and graphics to produce documents such as newsletters, brochures, books, etc. Graphic design, on the other hand, is the process and art of combining text and graphics and communicating an effective message in the design of logos, graphics, brochures, newsletters, posters, signs, and any other type of visual

As a current student at Rock Valley College, it is my goal to acquire an Associate’s De-gree within the Graphic Arts Technology with an emphasis in Mass Media Communication by the end of 2017 fall semester. Due to the economic and technological changes in the current trends of the workforce, my previous Associates Degree in Computer Aided Technology has become somewhat obsolete, which has made me re-evaluate my career path options. It is my belief that I will become a marketable resource within a broader scope of companies from graphic design into marketing.

Before this entire Career Readiness project, I had an overwhelmingly positive outlook towards the future. I never thought about money, and how I am going to afford everything, so now that this project is coming to a close I feel as though I have gained knowledge on a topic that used to be completely foreign. I have always viewed myself as a very independent human being, so at the age of 23, I hope that this will still be the fact. After all the research on the career of a film editor, I am unsure as to whether it is a career that I see myself pursuing for the rest of my life. Throughout my entire life, I have been drawn to the creative side of existence. After studying photography for a total of four years, doing a research project in film,

The colours of the icing are very neutral with a few lightly saturated decorations and toppings. At first glance, your eye wants to look around the outside of the cakes before the inside to see the different designs before looking at the simply decorated cakes.

This image has mainly all 2-D form, however the mountains or trees that are in the bottom right almost look 3-D. There are a variety of lines including vertical lines that make up the church or tall building down in the village. Another type of lines in the image are horizontal, these lines create a lot of the houses or buildings in the village. The tall brown tree or object in the front of the artwork is created with vertical and curved lines. There are also repeated curved lines in the sky, which creates movement and visual repetition. There are also curved lines that make the moon, the mountains or hills behind the village, and the dark area on the far right in the middle of the piece. The sky also has big spiral lines. There are also a

On the second day, I went to a Burger King that was nearby and proceeded with greeting the cashier whom took my order. I interviewee a young man by the name of Brandon who is 24, and lives with his mother and 2 younger siblings. Brandon informs me that he has a bachelor's degree majoring in art because he loves to draw and he's interested in

My career goals and objectives have gone through quite the transformation throughout my college career. I’ve gone from marketing to communications, to film, only to go right back to communications. For my future, I realized that I wanted a degree that can take me anywhere I want to go and that can also allow me to incorporate my creative skills. Before I began my undergraduate degree, I had always dreamed of working in the fashion industry. Now that my dreams have turned into my reality, I couldn’t be more excited. This is why I chose to intern at Elbert Ivory Model Management.

My long term goal is to be able to work for an interior furnishing or décor company like Pottery Barn, Restoration Hardware or Room and Board. I would like to do the set visuals for the catalog shoot. To achieve this I plan to work hard to make myself marketable and stand out in the industry. My next step to achieve my goal is to network with people within these companies, while still keeping my options open for other job prospects. After I graduate I hope to work within one of these companies as an assistant visual merchandiser and work my way up the ladder. By starting at the bottom you learn every job, the required tasks and the company’s structure. With this goal I intend to finish my degree, continue learning the craft and skills, networking and eventually working for one of these companies.

Finding a specific career path can not only be difficult, but it can also induce bouts of anxiety, anger, and sadness over a crucial part of an individual’s life. Settling on a career can be unnerving when thinking about the fact that this is the career that you spend thousands of dollars on in college, that this is the career you will work in until you retire. With this course, I’ve found that it has been easier to narrow down a goal towards finding a career. Through career assessments, different assignments and discussions, I have realized what my barriers and strengths are. Overcoming these and improving these skills or applying them to an actual career assisted me in narrowing my goal as well. I am now able to clearly see the advantages and disadvantages of my career goal and to think clearer about the next steps that I will take after this course.
