Simplicity is key.
I have to say I have always admired the creativity behind minimalist
advertising; how so little print can convey such a wide range of ideas. I
believe that is why simplicity is immensely more creative than a full page
covered in print.
This was one of
the many key rules we were introduced to over the past two weeks, as we really
start to dive into the visual esthetics behind print ads. I am really excited
to start learning basic design techniques and how to navigate the different
Adobe systems available to us. I have been looking forward to taking this class
because of this reason. I am really interested in the creative side of
advertising and hope that this class will give the inspiration to continue
forward down this path.
Although we have only really gone over
typography terminology and some very basic introduction to InDesign, I am
really starting to learn the value and weight behind a nice Serif or San Serif.
As well as the horror that is comic
sans.
I am really
enjoying the very basic introduction we have gotten so far in the InDesign
program. Although it was just a brief walkthrough of a very simple poster, it
has really excited me for the next steps forward on our very own unique designs.
I have already been thinking ahead and have some really interesting ideas I am
looking forward to try out.
