I believe that this print ad strongly emulates the company. This designer is trying to persuade the consumer by using the chain and sprocket and saying that they move the city. For one, they made a little city to emulate it. Also, they put the little city on the sprocket and most people know that the sprocket moves which would be moving the little city. I think that the company's target is consumers that ride bikes.

http://www.creativebloq.com/ I believe this print ad is very good for the company. I say this because it gets the message across to the viewer that they sell something that is fast but is also good. For example, they get the message across that you won't be slowed down and get tired by eating their product. Also, they are basically telling you that fast food is not good for you which is very true. This can really catch the consumers attention because of the bright colors and the big letters. I believe their target are people who enjoy to eat fast food.

http://www.creativebloq.com/ I think that this is a very clever print ad. I say this for one reason because what this company is advertising is a 3D tv. So what they did was make the dinosaur actually out of the tv to tell the consumers that the 3D tv seems like it is very realistic. The idea of having the person watching a dinosaur movie and the dinosaur out of the tv really gets the point across the the viewers. I would say that they are trying to persuade people who are into technology and new inventions.

http://www.mdgadvertising.com/ This print ad is very good for the company. The company is trying to persuade the consumer by utilizing something that almost everybody has used, which is a keyboard to a computer. There are persuasive tactics in this print ad I think because of the color and the design. First, they used a lot of colors on this so it defiantly will be able to catch their attention. Also, the fact that they made a keyboard out of all the m&m's is just a great idea. This company targets most every day people who enjoy candy.

http://www.creativebloq.com/ This is one of my favorite print ads out of all of them. They are trying to persuade the consumer to make the healthy choice and eat vegetables and fruits. Also, the fact that the box that the vegetables are in is very clever because they are basically mocking Mcdonalds. There are obvious persuasive tactics because they use something that is very well known by many people which is a french fry holder. They are trying to target everyday people and people who want to eat healthy.

I believe that this was a very good idea for the store business card. I say this because it is very clever but is a simple idea. One thing that I really liked that the creator of the business card did was how he put all of the information onto the piece of candy. That was a very clever idea and the words are not squished on the piece of candy either. It was well thought out and well placed to make the words easy to read. But, by just looking at the candy on the business card, it pretty much gives you the idea that this is a candy store. So overall, I think this is a great business card for this company. What I think made this successful was how they put all the information onto the piece of candy.

I find this business card to be a very well thought business card. I say this because what the people did was they actually made the letter "P" into a thermometer and they are a heating and cooling company. But not just the unique lettering but they have a very good color scheme to go along with it. There is a maximum of 4 colors which is not to many colors and doesn't distract the person. Lastly, they don't have to much crammed in on the business card. It is nice and small and doesn't cause cram a lot of things onto a little card. What I think made this successful was the "p" that looked like a thermometer.

This one is a great example of a very clever business card. This one was very well thought out and I would not say that it is very simple. But even though it's not simple it is still very good. I really like how they made the whole business card actually look like a camera lens considering the company is a photography company. Also, I think they both have very good color schemes and did not use that many different colors which is a good thing. Lastly, one of my favorite things about this picture is the black one actually has the little numbers that you can turn the lens to which was a clever thing to do. And I believe that making the business card look like a lens made these cards successful.

This is one of my favorite business cards out of the four ones here. For starters, this person made his business card look like a search engine that millions of people use and are very aware of it. Then the person utilized google search to make it look like he looked up his own company. Then started to give different information about his company that a normal company would have on their business, except his looks very unique. I think the fact that he made his business card look like google made this a successful business card.

Unit 4

Journal 4 http://true-color-of-mind.blogspot.com/ This logo I believe is very successful for this product. I say this because the logo stands for the company Apple. What the creator actually did was make the logo an apple with a bite in it. And it's funny since the company name is Apple and the logo is an apple.



http://logos.wikia.com/ This logo is a fantastic logo for the company. I say this because the company logo is a picture of a ram head which was very clever by the creator of this logo because it makes sense. It really relates to the name of the company, so this is why this is a very witty and good logo.

http://www.vectortemplates.com/ This is the logo for the super hero Batman. And as you can see, the logo is a picture of a bat. Which is very clever because his name is Batman and the logo is a picture of a bat. This was a very witty logo, but also a very simple and really good logo.

http://www.ask.com/ This is a great example for this topic. I say this because of how simple this logo is but also how creative it is. As you can see, the logo name is Target as it says. So they actually made a target out of the logo. Which is an amazing and very simple idea. Also, the creator of this logo actually incorporated the colors of a target into the logo..

http://www.chacha.com/ This logo, as many people know, is Taco Bell. A very well known food chain across America, with a very witty logo. All these people did was make a bell for a logo and it made perfect sense considering that the name is Taco Bell. But just because of how simple this logo is does not make it bad. This is a great logo for the company because it makes total sense for it to be a bell for the logo.

Minimalism- A twentieth century art movement and style using colors, shapes, lines, etc.

http://shard3.1stdibs.us.com/ Artist: Jean Dubois, Date: 1974, Location: Belgium This is a good example of minimalistic picture and has good movement because of the colors and the lines used.

http://images02.olx.com/ Artist: Crystal River, Date: September 1, 2008, Location: Florida This has good movement because they use the lines in order to create a women's face and hair.

http://designeinstien.wordpress.com/ Artist: Piet Mondrian, Date: 1937-1942, Location: London This has a good movement because of all the black lines but then it has a little splash of color and a white background really making it look unique.

http://www.wiggz.com/ Artist: Grant Wiggins, Date: 2005, Location: USA I think this has a movement because of the way the lines go it makes it seem like it is flowing and has a very good movement.

http://www.artunika.com/ Artist: Kirsten Rotboll Lassen, Date: 2009, Location: ? This painting has really good movement because of all of the bright and vibrant colors and all of the lines that are here.

Unit 2- Text treatment



Journal 2

http://devsnippets.com This logo is a very good logo to show expression of the logo. I feel like this logo is expressive because you can clearly see the meaning of this and what it relates to which is the loch ness monster because they incorporated the loch ness monster into the logo. I think this really connects to the logo because the logo says lochness and deals with the loch ness monster. So what they did was actually add the loch ness monster to really make the logo connect and make it unique. So this logo really did connect well with the expression.

http://devsnippets.com/ This logo is a great example of expression. This logo is expressive because the name of the company is helium, and what they did with the "i" is clever and fits perfectly with the logo. What they did was take the little dot above the "i" and make it float away as if the little dot was filled with helium. I believe this really connects to the logo because it most people know what helium is and if you put it in a balloon it can float, so with the little dot they did the same. So it really connected to the logo.

http://devsnippets.com/ This is a very good example of an expressive logo. This is great because what they did was used the pause symbol in order to make the letter 'u". And everybody knows that those two lines represent the pause symbol and not just two I's. This really connects to the logo because of the creativity and thought put into this piece. So overall this is a very good example of an expressive logo.

http://devsnippets.com/ This is a fantastic example for an expressive logo. What the creator did was make the logo look as if there was a diamond there because the name of the store is Diamond Bookstore. But also, its not just a diamond but a book too. This was clever because the viewer see's both the diamond and the book. This really connects because of how creative it is a fits so well with the logo. Overall, a very good expressive logo.

http://devsnippets.com/ This is an amazing example of expression. This is a great example because of what the creator did, which was make the illusion that the words are peeling off the page. This is a great way of expression to use for this logo. Also, it really connects the the picture and the viewer can really connect to the logo itself. Therefor, this is a great expressive logo.

Unit 1- Positive and Negative Space











Journal 1 http://www.larryeeles.com/negative-space/

This is a very good use of negative and positive space. What the creator of this logo did for the animal rescue company was he made a dog and a hand in the shape of a heart. What the creator wants you to see is the hand patting the dog. This is clever because it incorporates meaning into the picture and shows you what the company is all about which is caring for and rescuing animals.



http://www.larryeeles.com/negative-space/

This was a very clever way to use positive and negative space for a logo. This is a logo for a zoo and has a picture of an elephant. But thats not all, the creator used negative space to put both a rhino and giraffe into the picture of the elephant. This is clever because it gives the viewer a look at what they might be able to see if the go to the zoo that is being advertised.



http://www.larryeeles.com/negative-space/

This picture is a very good example for negative and positive space. What the logo has is a "W" for the hockey team The Whale. But what he also did was he put the tail of a whale above the picture making it look somewhat like a whale. This is clever because the team name is The Whale and they used a whale tail to help advertise the team.



http://www.larryeeles.com/negative-space/

The creator of this logo used negative space very well. This is supposed to be a logo for a shoe compony and is pretty clear that it is considering you can see the shoe inside of the "G". That is why this is so clever because with the creator using that negative space you can clearly tell that this compony is a shoe compony.

http://www.larryeeles.com/negative-space/

The person who created this had a very clever idea on how to advertise the company. What he did was he just simply wrote "Black Cat". But the unique thing is he did not just leave it like that, he created the letter "c" into eyes and lined up the words to make it look unique. This was very clever because it really gets the viewers interest and they might get curious as what type of company this is.

I picked this because I have Nike shoes.
