      I feel like this course is a great way to get a leg up on the competition. Mr Leoff states that most smaller organizations have well little familiarity with graphics. I feel as though in just this first chapter I have learned quite a bit about maybe the basics of graphics but over the course I will have adequate knowledge about the subject.

Creative Brainstorming: 50 Examples of The Logo Design Process - Noupe Design Blog - 1 views

    • Rebecca Anderson
       
      This was my favorite article that I found relating and supporting Chapter 1 because it was very visual. In each picture the design process for the individual logos were clearly demonstrated and it was interesting to see the possibilities that were not choosen. Chapter 1 explains the amount of prep work and thought that happens all before a simple design can become realized.

    This was my favorite bookmarked relating to Chapter 1. It is quite comprehensive and touches on a lot of what was covered in the chapter. I find this very usefeul.
  •  
    This is actually appears to be an online textbook for a technical writing course. I found that the introduction and many of the examples/models were great tools in helping to understand chapter 1. Also, I think the page in itself is a great example of technical writing.

  •  
    Study questions on Daniel Pink's book, "A Whole New Mind," which has a chapter on design. Other chapters in the book also have tips on good design. I really love Dan Pink's design viewpoint, which is that we can find or create good design in everything.

    D#1, HW#13-3websites This website highlights some key points also included in chapter 1, in giving advice for movie posters. This is so interesting to me because I am very interested in production design and its great to see design aspects correlate to movies as well. I love to study the conversion point between design and movies.

D#1, HW#1 Strategic Design: 6 Steps For Building Successful Websites - Smashing Magazine - 0 views

  •  
    This website focuses more on building a design for a successful website, but it's another example of using the same strategic steps in chapter one of "Basic of Design". I especially am drawn to the second step of this website "Identify your audience". Nowadays new technology being introduced to a variety of generations can be somewhat tricky. The fact that they mentioned "technical competency" as a consideration, gives a better understanding of who you will be dealing with and what levels of technology to consider.

D#5 HW#1 The Power of Alignment | Webitect - 1 views

    • Rebecca Anderson
       
      I liked this website best because it illustrates the grid method explained in chapter 5. Also it notes that most designers forget about alignment as a design concept which I related to given my first draft of project 1 had no alignment concepts what so ever.
  • adds to the organization and usability of a web page
  • an image can align with elements on the web page
  • ...6 more annotations...
  • Alignment
  • One of these points of alignment is the corner of the walls
  • Not enough attention to alignment can make or break the beauty of a website design
  • using the lines, shapes, and contrasting colors of the image
  • designers used images, color contrast, and features of their respective websites to create an interesting and effective use of alignment
  • beauty for all viewers
  •  
    This page is more of a resource than an example of aligntment. The examples that Kayla(the author) shows looks like good examples however the resolution they were posted in makes it blurry and hard to judge. Kayla however breaks down in a few brief paragraphs how effective and important alignment is within an article, or project. One aspect that she hits on that makes a lot of sense to me is the images in alignment and how they can also be placed into alignment even though it is a photo. There is a lot more that goes into alignment that first expected.

    This page goes into great detail about the importance of alignment, especially in web design. It also has many examples of alignment in different pages for you to see the effects.
  •  
    This site gives some interesting views on alignment and some examples that I'm not sure I like. In saying that though I really do like some of the notes for instance, that there are many points to align to on a layout. It also is much nicer to use color contrast and other features along with the alignment.
  •  
    This website is very helpful when it comes to explaining alignment.  Even if you have other good elements going around your picture/website, it might look cluttered and there can be a bad use of alignment.  This website gives you examples of how to use proper alignment in pictures and on a layout by using the lines, shapes, and contrasting colors.

Strategic copywriting: how to create ... - Google Books - 0 views

    • Diana Inzunza
       
      What I really liked about this one is that it has a chapter for whatever media you are trying to create a design for. Whether it be a newspaper or internet, you can turn to the chapter and it explains to you the precise way to do it for that specific media.
  •  
    I really like this one because its more detailed. There is a table of contents that explains a variety of details that go into making a design. For example, chapter 1 is doing the research, ch.3 is Headlines and Slogans. This is really helpful for someone who has no idea where to begin.

    This website states the different audiences for specific interest or group of people. Chapter 1 says: "the more you know about your audience, the better equipped you are to attract their attention..."

    This website is great on giving you tips for your website design and it runs you through a whole tutorial. It talks about the new age techniques, format, dos and don'ts, colors and contrast, and designing to a purpose. I think it is a great resource that could help you a lot and relates to the concepts in Chapter 1
