  • Theres lots of lines, nice use of contrasting colors and unity

With all the different colors and unity


This lined Paper has a lot of space and lines




  • This table is a good example of Balance because every piece of the table is the same

  • This example is a good example of a few things but I really think that it could be improved by maybe removing the picture of the bird on the side

Opt in: Super Bowl ads





  • This ad of a Chevrolet Camaro was my favorite of all the super bowl ads because it was about an awesome car, had hot chicks, and had a sense of humor
  • This one minute spot during the super bowl cost 6 million dollars
  • Chevrolet would have to sell approximately 272 Camaro cars to pay for the commercial which coincidentally is approximately the number of Camaro cars sold in 2 days

Graphic Design: What's Going On In This Design?


  • This advertisement came from a wired magazine
  • This is an advertisement of the Chevy Equinox
  • My partner Jake and I determined the this ad is more directed toward women than men and his ad of a carbon fiber Ferrari is more directed towards men


Conclusion:
1. Trends are things that are popular at a given moment. Trends are important to Graphic design because it can show the designer whats cool and whats not
2.Human nature plays a role in the demographic because you wouldn't want to be advertising a bunch of meat or steak to someone in the PETA group
3.you could identify your audience by who reads or would see your ad. For example a good place to advertise computers would be in a wired magazine
4. You must discover if your demographic audience would even be available to purchase your product or if they would like to purchase your product
