Social Justice Editorials Spreads Reflection

Social Justice Editorials Spreads Reflection


 
    I picked the topic of Immigration and how the people who embark on this journey can struggle for my Social Justice Editorials Spreads, With my editorial montage I wanted to portray a slight fraction of the rough emotions that go along the migration prosses for some people in the south. Some of the challenges that I had with my visualizing data, were that 1st I didn't know what to show, and 2nd I didn't really know how to show all of my data. Some of the challenges of working in three programs at the same time, Photoshop, Illustrator, and InDesign, were that I had to constantly readjust my workflow to fit all of the different tool structures of all the different programs, having to switch between all 3 made me really confused when I look for a tool, only to realize that it's on a whole different program, this and some other little things made the use of three programs in this Social Justice Editorials Spreads project a little more challenging then what I expected. In the beginning, I had pretty standard ideas about the topic, I had an understanding that the problems of migration went hand and hand with some violence and dangers, however, my ideas about the topic changed a little while doing the Social Justice Editorials Spreads project because while doing the research for the little details of my Social Justice Editorials Spreads, I came across some numbers and statistics that really changed my views on the topic, I was under the impression that the situation was bad, but I had no idea how dire it really was, thanks to the research I had to do to complete the Social Justice Editorials Spreads, I was able to better comprehend the situation of migration that takes place in the southern border.

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.
