  • Using Visuals to Communicate
  • Regardless of where you work or what your career
    is, learning how to communicate effectively and

  •  
  • The Evolution of Media
  •  Over the past several decades, communication
    media have evolved significantly. In addition to
    communicating messages through books, newspapers,
    and magazines, we now have the ability to
    communicate through blogs, websites, and social
    media like Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube. Now,
    more than ever, the average person is capable of
    creating and distributing professional-looking
    visual communication. This supports what your
    textbook identifies as perhaps the most
    significant change these new technologies are
    forcing journalists, advertisers, PR
    professionals, and entertainment executives to
    relinquish their role as gatekeepers of
    information (P.21-22).

  • Final Project- Step Two
  • Your outline should include the following
    elements
  • A description of your message, and the desired
    results A description of the intended audience
    for your message A description of the typography
    you plan to use in your message (e.g., this might
    include the font or typeface you plan to use, the
    tone you want the type to achieve, etc.) An
    explanation of how you plan to utilize visuals to
    support your message The platform/medium you plan
    to use to communicate your message (e.g., Word
    document, PowerPoint presentation, Web
    application, etc.) An explanation for why you
    selected the platform/medium you did

  •  
  • Oftentimes, we cant avoid using words to
    communicate messages. And sometimes, were even
    limited with the visuals we can include. So, how
    can we make our messages as clear and
    aesthetically pleasing as possible? Incorporating
    typography can assist us in this especially in
    the business setting. Take a look at the
    following documents and examine how strategic use
    of typography and white space has affected the
    second document.

  • CGD 218 Week 2 DQ 2 Bauhaus Manifesto
  • FOR MORE CLASSES VISIT
  • www.cgd218papers.com
  •  
  • Your textbook describes design in light of the
    Bauhaus manifesto.
  • According to the Bauhaus Design History
    (http//designhistory.org/Bauhaus3.html), what
    was so new about the Bauhaus modern art school
    was its attempt to integrate the artist and the
    craftsman, to bridge the gap between art and
    industry. It goes on to explain that mass
    production was the god, and the machine aesthetic
    demanded reduction to essentials, an excision of
    the sentimental choices and visual distractions
    that cluttered human lives.

  • CGD 218 Week 3 Assignment Using Photographs from
    the Web
  • FOR MORE CLASSES VISIT
  • www.cgd218papers.com
  • Using Photographs from the Web
  •  
  • Today more than ever, photographs and other
    visual media are at our fingertips. Whether its
    through Google Images or Flickr, we have endless
    visual media available for us to use. Or, do we?
  •  
  • Watch the video Copyright Basics
    (http//youtu.be/Uiq42O6rhW4). Then, in a 2- to
    3-page paper, examine the benefits and challenges
    associated with having so many visuals available
    to us today. Describe the possible ethical and
    legal implications of using these photos, and
    explain how these issues can be avoided.

  •  
  • Photography and Composition
  • When considering magazines like National
    Geographic, or social media like Pinterest, it
    becomes evident that photography plays an
    instrumental role in visual communication.
    However, creating an impactful photograph is not
    always easy.
  •  
  • Your textbook explains the importance of design
    and composition in successful photography. For
    this discussion, locate a photograph (either on
    the Web or in print) that strategically uses at
    least three elements of design (e.g., balance,
    color, asymmetry, etc.). Then, paste a link to
    the photograph (or, if it is in print, upload a
    scanned copy to the discussion forum or the web),
    and explain which elements are utilized, and how
    they affect the overall impact and message of the
    photograph.

  • Visual Communication Today
  •  
  • Visual communication is just about everywhere we
    look. Reflect on the visuals youve seen in your
    daily life over the past couple weeks, and the
    messages theyve communicated (e.g., TV
    commercials, billboards, magazine ads, web ads,
    websites, product packaging, photographs, etc.).
    Do any stand out in your mind? If so, why do you
    think they were so effective in getting your
    attention? Are there any trends you are noticing
    specifically in todays media?

  • You should now have a strong outline for the
    message you plan to communicate in your final
    project, as well as a good idea of how you want
    to incorporate visuals. This week, locate at
    least five possible visuals that you might
    utilize for your final project (e.g.,
    photographs, drawings, video clips, screenshots,
    etc.), and add them to your existing project
    draft. Be sure to reference any visuals that you
    did not create. Then, 1-2 pages, explain why you
    selected the visuals you did, how they support
    your intended message, and what reaction or
    results you hope to gain from the use of these
    visuals.

  • As stated in your textbook, branding is equated
    with everything from creative strategy to
    logotype design. It is said to exist through

    that branding is corporate image. Others align it
    with cohesive marketing communications,
    positioning, slogans or taglines.

    peers with an evaluation of their selected
    companys brand identity, as conveyed through the

    interpretation of the companys brand identity?

    that they might have missed in their mood board?
