Data Visualization

 Designing Peace

        On Wednesday the 23rd of November, me and the rest of the graphic design class went to the Museum of Design to see one of the exhibitions that they had, which was called "Designing Peace" which was a whole exhibition dedicated to pieces of design and art that were made to promote and fight for peace between all people. All of these designs were done through a certain style of design that was called data visualization, data visualization is a type of design that tells the viewer a message without explicitly telling them through words. Many of the examples of data visualization that I saw, used a tool called a "Key" which showed and helped the viewer know what she or he is looking at, and it usually helps them make special and significant connections. After some evaluation I realized that I can take this style of design and these tools to add to my own work when needed, I can already see myself using the "Key" when designing complicated and complex designs that require deeper explanation, these tools can help data visualization become more obvious and apparent, while also pushing forward the message that I am trying to get across.

How posters work

  Despite how boring I found the video, I did find some of the aspects and technics that she was talking about very interesting, one of these aspects and technics was something that's falls under the " Simplify " category, we can see this with the very simplistic design of the first Simpson's poster and how the very use of the iconic side homer hair is enough to make the poster make sense. Another one of these aspects and technics was something that's falls under the "Create a central image" category, we can see this with the second image and how it paints the light bulb right in the center of the screen, and how with the complete white background it makes the lightbulb the main center of attention. Another one of these aspects and technics was something that's falls under the " Tell a story " category, we can see this with the third image and how helps portray a message while also expanding on the time it was created, especially when you k

 For this "C all to action poster " project I decided to focus on one of my favorite  iconic duos, the electronic sensation of the Daft Punk duo, and one of their particular messages, specifically the one  of "Living in the Present Moment". One of the first  struggles that I came across  in this  "C all to action poster " project was finding the right images to use for the specific design that I had in mind, It was a challenge to find one that was not bright or too neon, I wanted a dark and plain image so that I would be able to add their iconic logo and my own neon glow to it. Another challenge that I came across in this "C all to action poster " project was trying to properly portray the technic of creating a central image, I found it difficult to center the entire design without loosing the main point of my overall design. One of my final struggles that I came across in this "C all to action poster " project was the addition of the n

          All of my posters revolve around the duo Daft Punk, and for most of my posters I tried to implement one of the many messages that his duo usually stands for. For the first one of my posters I tried to implement the technique "Simplify" by making the design as minimalistic and simple as possible while still being comprehensible to a common viewer.  For the second one of my posters I tried to implement the technique "Create a central image" by making the design focus the viewers eyes right on the center of the poster to see the duo and call attention. For the third one of my posters I tried to implement the technique "Tell a story" by making the design tell the tale of the iconic duo while also trying to portray an underlaying message. For the forth one of my posters I tried to implement the technique "Text as image" by making the design have a large amount of text that would eventually fill up to spell out the Daft Punk logo. For the las
