In this assignment, I chose a poem and designed the text and background to see how it changes the poem. The first one I designed has a childlike feel. I think that this design matches the poem the best. The colors are whimsical and so are the birds at the top. I feel as though, …

Color The design of the Flamin’ Hot Cheetos displays the concept of color. I couldn’t imagine any other colors being on the bag. The warm colors just make sense since they’re “flaming hot”. The design decisions of this product just makes sense. Metaphor & Symbols The Old Spice shampoo and conditioner in the second picture …

One design project that caught my eye was the Remixed Game Covers assignment.

September 29, 2021

The point that Kidd made that stood out to me the most was his speed bump example. He said that a man designed a bump to slow people down, but not a graphic design example which would be slow down bump ahead. This truly shows the separation of the two definitions. He brings the point… Continue reading My View On Kidd’s View
