Essay 2 Design

Lynch, Brandon What makes a design balanced? Well for starts you should go over what is needed in your design. For instance the design, my colleges and I have been working on are directed to seniors in High school getting ready to advance their knowledge. Our goal is simple. Show the future college students what they can learn through VISCOM and the best college to go to for it. VISCOM meaning Visual Communication Arts Career. As young designers we continue to advance the use of emphasis, alignment, contrast, balance, flow, and repetition to create unity in our design. As designers we want our piece to have a main goal and state it. With VISCOM as our goal to teach future students we want to emphasize VISCOM as much as possible. By aligning our key information with our BCC logo we can ensure that every time a student reads the info they will be referenced by BCC. With use of contrast we can cause positive visual tension that will force the reader to the other information a designer wants the reader to read. The information we have to share with the reader should flow together so that the reader doesn't get trapped in any blank spaces. By repeating information or having consistent reminders of BCC we can ensure that the reader learns that BCC can provide the education to become educated in the following fields listed in our design. Keeping principle in the design we can ensure that the design can relay the message we want to send.

It's a start.

            Everyday people see ads between their favorite TV show/movie. Perhaps it was from a billboard or a magazine that caught your eye. The effect you have when you seem to be sucked into this billboard or a picture of really nice sneakers you just want to buy right then and now. This effect is done with the rule of thirds. The rule of thirds creates a pattern in which equals out to infinity that can be implemented into graphic arts. Using the rule of thirds we can draw the person into whatever we choose to draw them into. Although this rule is set we need the help of six magic words. Emphasis, contrast, balance, flow, alignment, and repetition. With these words we can EMPHASIS the object we want people to buy. Then we can contrast the object to make it more apparent; We can balance the objects and the words to make it not too lop sided and with elegant flow and alignment we can bring it all together to repeat (repetition) it all again to make it really stick. Emphasis is used to make the object we want apparent well apparent. By making the object bigger and stand out that draws the eyes attention. Using contrast we can make the object stand out even more. We want to draw the people away from the object to start our round-about. Balance is used to make sure our piece is in well proportion so we don’t cause a “sink hole effect” that will leave our viewers stuck in the negative zone. The use of flow brings our viewer around our design and alignment is to make key objects in the design align to make it more organized. Then we complete our circle by repeating several effects to bring the viewer back to the main point and around again. Emphasis should be the focal-point of the design. Using the word emphasis to define emphasis without explaining it is actually really simple. Just make emphasis the focal-point, make those eyes of ours be drawn to it out of everything else. We want the design to be different so we will invoke the use of contrast with opposites. Like making half the page white with dark lettering and the other half dark with light lettering. Balance is key. We don’t need viewers feeling stuck too one side of the design so we will balance it out. Using flow we can move the viewer around the design and repetition follows to make this trail known throughout the design. Align the design so that all our key points line up so when flow shows you the way to go all your keys are organized and have a defined purpose. The six words and the rule of thirds are all equally important to creating a professional design. Be wary to not make your design too busy.
