 Homework #3 Response   

     This article focused on an interview with a chief designer for Nike who has dyslexia. He talked about how he works with his dyslexia when designing shoes for the company. He draws sketches of the shoes that he wants to design. This is also how he navigates through the world on a day to day basis. I personally think that it is beneficial for Nike to have him as their chief designer. I say this because he designs a lot of the shoes for them and his designs are useful for the company. Also I think that it is wonderful that he is able to work with his dyslexia. It shows that he is a dedicated designer who takes his job seriously. Furthermore, this could be motivating to his 1,000 other designers.

Homework #5 Response     The interview with Dustin Stanton gave me some insight as to how designers go through many ideas before forming a final product. He talked about various movies that he designed teasers and posters for and how he played around with some ideas before coming to a final product. One movie that he did this with was called There Will Be Blood . At one point in the interview Dustin said that you have to surround yourself with people who push you to become a better artist. Or, at least that's basically what he implied. I bring this up because I think it's important for designers to have this type of support system to motivate them and bring out more of their creative side. So, I think it was very important that that was included in the article. Anyway, I found this article interesting and it gave me insight to what designers go through when they're in the process of designing something.

Homework #8 Crit  Partners: David Garcia and Nyasia Viera      To start with I'm doing a critique on David's poster. The image of him with the sword immediately catches my eye. This image has the ability to catch others attention as well. The blood that he added on his face was a creative touch in my opinion. Also, the background just paints a picture for the whole movie. When I first saw it it made me visualize what the movie could possibly be about.      One thing that I feel that he should have added was more text. For example something like "in theaters Friday" or the movie credits just to make it feel like a everyday movie poster. Another thing I want to point out is that I think that he should've used a different font for the title. I say this because the font doesn't really go with the overall theme that the poster is trying to convey.        For Nyasia's poster, the title with the finger immediately grabs my focus. ...

Homework #4 Response             There are many posters for this movie so I just chose my favorite one. I chose this poster because all the elements in this poster look great together. For instance, the background doesn't interfere with the visibility of the text. It actually makes the text stand out and easy to read. Also, the way the designer curved the text Spider-man makes it pop. Furthermore, the characters against the background look really nice and it actually looks natural. The character in the middle, can make your eye wander from the text then to him and then to the others. So, this poster makes everything come together.
