Reflection On Media Design

If we examine our existence through a dichotomous lens of internal and external experiences, it is easier to understand the importance of graphic design. Everyone, to some extent, is trapped within themselves. There is me in here, and you in there—a separation exists. We find common ground in the external world where there are certain rules that most of us have agreed to play by. Graphic design functions as a catalyst for either strengthening or disintegrating these rules. It screams, “Continue! Begin! Stop!” The graphic designer must work through the external world, understand its rules, and journey through their internal world in search of a project’s solution. If the solution is successful,

This was by far the most challenging course that I have encountered while obtaining my Master’s Degree in Educational Technology from UCMO. That is not a negative comment as this course has actually impacted me professionally more than any other course I’ve taken to date. This course has taken more time to complete the assignments, more of my attention to detail, and more of my creativity. The last point was the best part about this course. I consider myself to be fairly creative and this course definitely allowed me to do that while bringing my somewhat odd personality to a professional forum. For this I am grateful. Let’s get to the good stuff, shall we?

Many of the course goals were encountered while completed this assignment. These included increasing audience awareness, practicing important types of technical communications (memos and instructions), creating documents that solve problems through communication using relevant sources, and learn use of design document principles to enhance usability and overall effectiveness. Each of the course goals played at least some part in successfully completing this

The document is officially published on October 14, 2015 and posted on the LinkedIn blog page. The discipline of this document would be used in a journal that is related to any field of design. Design students and professions would use this document for building self-esteem and the inspiration for understanding designers’ difficulties in the reality.

The media has been and always will be the main source for news and information about any issue, namely the Presidential Election. The way media portrays a candidate can affect how the nation views them as a whole, but different media sources portray a candidate differently based upon their audience and who owns them. Clinton’s portrayal in the media can differ greatly from source to source. In sources with conservative heavy audiences like Fox she is looked down upon and unfavorable comparisons are made while in sources with liberal heavy audiences like the Atlantic she is both defended and questioned. This essay will compare three different articles from three different sources which will be NPR, Fox, and the Atlantic.

Through the range of Business, Enterprise and Technology (BET) subjects offered here at OLSH, I have been taught valuable skills which I can apply to all aspects of my education. Studying Information Processing and Publishing and Communication Products has enhanced my understanding and knowledge of new technologies. I enjoy the flexibility to express my creativity and passion for design. BET subjects have created many opportunities to produce products for competitions like Sight for All and the Adelaide Fringe. No matter what level of experience and knowledge you have of technologies, OLSH provides a great support system to help you reach your best

One of the tactics they still use to separate the American people is by the media and economics. Television media networks have made a ton of money exploiting black and white American’s competing for the few dollars coming down from the elites of society (McGill). Through the media, you can tell that the elite’s plan is to keep conflict going between the races in hope that they will spend more time on the fight than the “financial oppression” (McGill). Content in the media also portrays the American society wealthier then it is in the real world and more importantly, the media does not reflect the diversity of the real world; which reflects the inequality, discrimination, and misrepresentation of social class (Orr). The United States is a market-oriented

As I watched and reviewed my rubric given for Business Communication Evaluation Presentation; I instantly knew that it is important that I need to start working on learning how to be a better presenter right away. In order to develop my skills where I lack or my weaknesses the most, I need to set my goals to improve in several topics. The skills that I need to focus on are messages, organization, design and style.

As a multimedia designer, I’ve often struggled to clearly define my design influences. While “design” (especially any form of graphic design) is traditionally related to print mediums, I was heavily influenced, as a child and young adult, by classic cinema. Additionally, I’ve always been very musically inclined, and as a result of this I usually seek to infuse my work with some form of harmony and rhythm. As one could imagine, this has created a sort of identity crisis – I had a desire to take both music and design classes in college, however a two-year degree does not easily facilitate this. Choosing a multimedia design degree over music was a difficult decision; however, it was not a process whereby I concluded “I’ll just have to design graphics, oh well.” Rather, this new field of study helped me to channel a creative side of myself that I had not fully understood before, and also through understanding of my core interests, it helped me to be able to continue to produce works that were not just technically correct, but also pleasing to me.

Additionally, this weeks TED video How Art, Technology and Design Inform Creative Leaders by John Maeda, was focused on how art and design allow leaders to

To sum everything up, I think you had us read a book about design students struggling, losing sleep, and going through crazy scenarios in their life to help us. To help us see that this is something that can be done, to help us see that even though we may get discouraged we are still good designers, and to help us see that we shouldn’t give up, even when you make us set our own projects on fire, or lose part of a finger the night before a projects due. We may not be special in what we’re going through, but we can overcome it and be molded into great, innovative, and brilliant

Part One: One-page essays will be drawn from the following questions 1. Providing specific examples of teleplays, explain the nature of the anthology television dramas of the 1940s and 1950s. Discuss at least four specific factors that contributed to the demise of this program type. What does the demise of this format suggest about program limitations and the influence of advertisers in commercial broadcast television? Ex. of teleplay : Marty in 1953 (butcher) by Paddy Chayefsky, Man Against Crime (independent

The samples illustrating my graphic design skills derived from group projects at the Missouri School of Journalism and practice during my internship in New York.

Meredith Davis’s book “Graphic Design Theory” was published in September 2012 by Thames & Hudson. This book blends a study of historical thinking of design with contemporary / modern approach to it. It also suggests students to critically analyse their work and asks them to adopt the design theories to embellish their practical design work as it will help them construct better work. This book also helps in understanding the consumers and the history of Graphic Design and also talks about a range of theories and introduces a collection of concepts and sources for future use and reference. In this book, Meredith Davis talks about the relationship of visual representation to the contexts of design. It talks about focusing on the broad and long term aftereffects of design and not to design only for the moment and responding to prompt needs.

My Reflective Web Media Creation (RWMC) project was nearly exactly as I envisioned it in the pitch with only a few changes. In the pitch I discussed how the lead character (Matt Murdoch) would be explain to the Jury why ‘Fair Dealing’ is not stealing and he would be the ‘Punishers’ lawyer. However, I changed it in the final video making him the plaintiff, a company lawyer saying the defendant (‘Punisher’) stole their content and he is not protected by ‘Fair Dealing’. I changed it to this as I believed it would make the video more narratively engaging, making the ‘Punishers’ outburst more provoked and meaningful. I also removed the self-referential element where the ‘Punisher’ was going to comment on how the video was flipped and colour graded so it would not come up on ‘YouTube’ copyright detection system. I changed this element as I believed it would make my RWMC more focused and comedic in a serious way.
