Graphic Design Blog Assignment #3

I chose this piece mostly because I've always liked the looked of old cars. I chose this color scheme, because cars can often be a sactuary for people. It's a good place to talk or think things through and can also be a getaway. Blue is often associated with relaxing, so I decided to go with this color scheme.
I think this image could be used as a decoration in a "man cave" or as part of an advertisement for a car dealership. Especially if this company was still around.

This design reminds me most of myself, because it's vibrant and abstract. I consider myself to be a happy, friendly person, and this design is definitely happy. I've also been told that I'm very random and kind of weird, so I thought this design showed that the best as well. I liked this one better than other brightly colored ones though because of its abstract and visually interesting layout. Basically, this one was just one of my favorites.

I'm not quite sure what to make of this piece of art as far as meaning goes, but I do find it very interesting. It made good use of black and white and colorful parts of the piece.It also had a very urban feel to it. The focus wasn't on the center which means it follows the rule of threes, but I cant say that I particularly liked it. I felt like it had too much empty space to the left. However, the combination of both real and unreal items made the piece look fun and bright.

What is graphic design?

Graphic design is using the help of technology to create art pieces. It's often used to make logos, posters, advertisements, t-shirts, book covers, and much more. It's most commonly used in advertising. To make a certain ad stand out more than the others, the designer creates a eye catching design to get reader's/viewer's attention.
What I like best about grapic design is that even though you may not be the best at drawing, you can still create excellent works of art based on what you want the design to look like. That way, things can always be what you imagine, and you don't have to worry as much about how they're going to turn out. If something isn't right, it can easily be changed. This is why graphic design is the best option for me. I can get my ideas as I see them out there.
