PROJECT SUMMARY - B&W MAGAZINE AD

ART 2220 Advanced Design - Kerry Gonzales

ASSIGNMENT OUTLINE AND SUMMARY

This project for me seemed to be really fun, we had to create a Ad that would be viewed in a specific sized box section. Being in black and white, with not real restriction on the message or the overall look, again it just needed to suit the business, convey the message and relate to the overall business projects look.

I had so many idea and designs that I was considering, but in the end I narrowed it down to two that I ran with and then ended up on my after school project for youth, the "AFTER SCHOOL GAMER ACADEMY", which I felt had emotion and design element that set it apart. While the simplicity of the other ad was good. I feel that this one really demonstrated my abilities as a designer.

HAND COMP

In the brainstorming stage there were lots of questions and directed I could take this, I came up with lots of idea and concepts, which I only ran with a few due to time some personal effect from the quarantine. But I do want to further develop some of my other ideas so that I can have them here for others to view.

My top two where the gaming competition and the Gamer Academy as an after-school program. Which I ended up going with the gamer academy which would actually be something that I would have to implement if this company was mine. There are too many kids stuck in their own world or with out a community of their own. Having a game and friends to play it with really exposes them to so much more.

I think it was as smooth as the others. I feel that the only think that I would like to do is go into my designs a bit more and push them further. I just want to see where those can go as well. but I really feel that they came together well.

COMPUTER COMP

Digitally this was easy. It’s a small design though… I will say the only factor of trouble was finding photos that were without and restrictions and okay to use and edit… and one that I liked and would work. Challenges for sure.

Then there were issues with editing to make them work for the overall design and feel of the project. I feel that my hard effects and long time spend on that alone did pay off. Because once again the design is one that I am proud of. There are minor disagreements of some elements to the design and layout, but I still feel that they work and while they may work another way, this final output suits me well.
