Reflections

This course was an introduction of design. We often referred to the word CRAP meaning contrast, repetition, alignment, and proximity. This course was exciting. In week 1 we looked at different images such as the poster from the movie //Sweet Home Alabama// and the choice of text, size, and colors used to reflect the movie title and the feeling the audience receives. I learned how important these four words are in media relations and to advertising in general. The style of text used has an interpretation to the reader. In week 2, I got historical persepective of the eveloution of the thinking of mankind and the way we see things. The readings were very interesting. I thought of myself as a teacher and as a brand. I created my own logo. It was creative to think of myself as a brand and an image. We looked at the website for the British Library. It is a source for virtual books for free. I have never been so facinated with the works of technology. The discussion board was full of amazement and interesting comments of interpretation from all of us.
