Petpeeves revision









Ok.  Here are my Pet peeves revised.  I got rid of the elevator one.  I replaced it with a different one, but I wanted to know what people thought, because I have been looking at these too long.  How does the new one read?  Does it read like an annoying pencil with hardly any eraser? Or I was thinking, if this doesn't read well, to flip the pencil around and have the lead broken.

Book spreads

Been working on my spreads, a little feedback before I print would be great.

There are 2 versions of spread 2 because I don't really know what to do with it.

Thanks

-Edit- Added my cover to this

Cleaver pictogram


I found this ad while looking for some reference for my pictogram. It's some ad from German hat company that I thought nice, and really relates to what we are doing right now [or at least what I'm trying to do]. Isn't it really cleaver how they used simple difference in icon to communicate the importance of hat.

Kailie's New Pictograms

new pictograms

I changed from places to activity. I make a "healthy" shake everyday so I decided to show the process through my pictograms. I have 6. I'm thinking about getting rid of the first one or just having an empty cup without the milk carton? What do you guys think? Any suggestions?

Paul Rand UPS Logo for Kallie's reference


This is a great, simple graphic representation of a knot. We know all we need to know based on a few lines.

I revised all my pictograms here, and I am still going to investigate redoing the elevator one and switching it with a different pet-peeve, but I was just wondering if anybody had anything to say.  Thanks

Pet-Peeves....

OK. I don't know why these things have lines through them.  But they really are solid images.  All three I feel I am still trying to make cohesive with my next two, but I am having a bit of trouble.  So, please let me know how people react.  Thanks.





Pictograms #2



All 5!  made changes to the car.
Tanks for the input last time!

Kallie's Posters Again



I been noticing that I have been dominating this blog excessively all day.  
Sorry guys. 
I decided to scratch the old images, and replace them with polaroids that I made.  They feel a little more personal to me at least.  It's getting there...
I am curious what others think in the class too.  

And a question: comma after the first text or not? And does it bother people to see "Doesn't" capitalized in the 2nd part?

updated



The smaller text says "CHALLENGE THE ARM OF THE LAW TO REMOVE UNIFORMITY FROM ITS DECISION MAKING"

i took away the asterisks. I dont know why the background is all stripey. it's still just plain orange.

New Poster



More Revisions

Personally, I like the "holes" because without them, it's not clear that they are pin points. They look like they are floating. Maybe that's just me? I agree that they are too big and too perfectly round. I've changed that.

I like Andrew's suggestion of random points to add more visual interest.

I've been working with the cropping/ placement of the U.S. I think the composition is sort of boring when it is not cropped. So, I'm still trying to crop it and having some of the "needles" go off the page as well.

I reduced the size of the call to action.
I moved it to the bottom right below florida to carry the viewer's eye down...

I changed the off-white color to white.

Horizontal and Vertical

Poster Text

The text is hard to read on the blog at the bottom, maybe that means it needs to be changed? But what it says is:

The US army doesn't have enough military support in Vietnam = A Draft
The US army doesn't have enough military support in Iraq =

My thought was that you would be drawn in enough by the image to read the text, and that the text should almost have the feel that it is also a part of the yearbook.

Since I wasn't in town last Friday I'd really appreciate your feedback! Thanks

Shannon's poster for comments.

3rd Time's a Charm?...



Soooo.  Here I am again posting a 3rd version.  I centered the image and the text after trying it many different ways, mainly because the image has to be in the poster.  I know that centering is sometimes dangerous, but in this case I think it works.  Again, thanks for your replies.

Rearranged Poster


I took your advice for breaking up the words.
The "to vote" part might seem a little awkward, but that may just be me.

Revised Poster I out of III



Ok. So here is a revised version of one of my posters.  I felt a bit confused after last class as to how to resolve the problems with the text and the image.  Some issues brought up from last class is that the posters were not interesting enough.  I feel O.K. about this poster, but some feedback would be nice before I go on to do the other two.  I thought "suffocating" the text with the image would be a possible solution.  Also, I posted up the first one so you could remember what it looked like.  Thanks for you feedback! 

PS-the first poster bleeds to the edge, but you cannot tell because blogger adds a little border around the actual image.  So, disregard the composition around the edges.
