With my Naked Eye.

Communications is broad subject. Visual, verbal, audio, and type are different branches of communication. Everyone's interpretation of each elements varies, depending on how a person learns something.
“Hey, you! Come here now!” Sounds harsh right? “Hi, may you come here please?” Much better. Visual communication is easiest for me to comprehend. Formats, images, gestures, expressions, and color are elements of visual communication. My starter sentences, “hey you!...” and “hi, may you…” are both visually different. Say in your head “Hey you! Come here now!” Did you envision someone who might be angry? Now say, “Hi you please come here?” Did you envision someone who needed assistance or looked curious? Maybe. Both speakers want someone to come over to them but how they say it makes all the difference.I am constantly improving my comprehension of visual communication.
In visual communication, color is a necessary tool. Colors are constantly manipulated with contrast, brightness, structure, saturation, highlight, combinations, etc. You have the colors: red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and purple. Orange, green, and purple were created by mixing 2 the colors: red, yellow, or blue. Orange is an even balance of red’s dominance and the happiness of yellow. Green is the color of life. With yellow being the color for happiness, blue demonstrates peace and/or sadness. If colors could speak, green would tell me, “My parents Yellow and Blue told me to remain happy, even when while going through the ups and downs of life.” Purple symbolizes creativity and magic. It is an equal balance of the strength of red followed by the relaxation of blue. Every shade of color comes a message. All you have to do is mix and mingle.
Target, HBO, and Twitter deliver a strong visual communication. Target’s logo is a red circle outlining a red dot with space in between. Being that red also means stop, that could cause a customer to stop and focus on their logo. The dot in the middle may represents what you are looking for and the circle surrounding it may represent the wide variety of items they have in the store. HBO stands for Home Box Office. HBO is a television network. The O has a big dot in the middle. The O almost looks like an eyeball. The choice of making the dot large may symbolize how drawn someone is into the TV. The logo for Twitter is a blue bird with its beak open. The logo reminds me of the phrase “A little birdie told me…” One feature on twitter is called “retweeting”, which reminds of the game “telephone”. In the game, someone delivers a message to the person next to them. The message goes around in a circle, but it may change as it goes around.
My label is important. I associate myself with the color yellow because shades of yellow remind me of vibrancy, mellowness, innocence, a fresh start, and spontaneity. I embody what I want my label to represent through my appearance, my work, and my actions.

The Meaning of Sour Behind The Sweet/The Bigger Draft of the Big Picture.

Your layout demonstrates what you can do instead of the person reading about what you can do. When you create something, you want the person reviewing it to give more smiles than looks of curiosity. Express yourself through your choice in color, font, and format. Harry Potter’s geeky little Hermione, actress Emma Watson, claims her seat in “fashion’s front row” and as a university student; not at Hogwarts, though. Watson was featured in Times Magazine. The caption for her article is titled “Siren Call.” This article discusses two changes Watson made after leaving Harry Potter. The magazine vintage layout brings emotion to Watson’s story. In the article, Watson says, “When I was little, I didn’t understand that other kids thought I was actually Hermione, really geeky. I was devastated.” The strengths in this magazine layout are color choice, font choice, Watson’s attire, and the way her image is presented. The choice of black and white symbolizes pages in a book; the black and wh

Five more logos.

Analyzing and dissecting graphic designs and logos require a lot of time and thought. In order to have a successful logo, it must be appropriate, original, understood clearly and visually appealing on a business card and a company. Five logos that meet this criteria are: Snapchat, FedEx, Nike, Apple, and YouTube.     Snapchat is a successful logo in social media. The main graphic in this logo is a ghost icon. This logo is graphically correct because posts on Snapchat are able to be seen for 24 hours, then, like a ghost, they disappear. Also if you were to send something to someone privately, they could only view it once. The choice of a yellow background could represent yielding. Being that Snapchat allows you to record and post current events, using that color could be a subliminal message to slow down and capture the moment.   FedEx is a successful logo because of the hidden arrow in between the E and X. The arrow could symbolize moving forward or looking forward t
