3-8-12 (17th Class)


Talked about Inception in class.  A great example on how a single idea could be the entire idea behind the movie, even the plot!  Jimmy Moss pointed out that the design brief was probably very vague which I thought was very insightful.  I do feel like I am learning things about the graphic communication profession, the pros and cons.

I also like that we discussed the AIGI student portfolio poster, which I never really liked.  Penguin with bling in a land of bubbles and rainbows?  WTF…  I’m glad it wasn’t a session of praising AIGI but rather an analysis like we had in the first week, seeing if the communication was there.  I also think in my opinion is that the demographics in the brief probably listed that the audience was mostly women, which lead to the poster made mostly exclusively towards woman.  When I saw the poster for the first time, it was very noticeable because it was so bright, but my instinct kicked in and I ignored it when I saw those rainbows and bubbles.  Student portfolio day isn’t Girl’s Day or Girlz only, and really should have been gender neutral.

Also, I’ll take the talk about Metro seriously and look into it more.



Taciturn – Silent by nature.  Reserved or uncommunicative in speech; saying little.

Succinctness - Expressed in few words; concise; terse.

Passive - Accepting or allowing what happens or what others do, without active response or resistance.
