What is Graphic Design?


Graphic Design to me means to communicate something using words and images. Graphic Design is everywhere from stop signs to take out menus at restaurants. Graphic Design can help everyone make his or her lives better. Using Graphic Design can make the world a better place! Graphic Design helps us understand who we are.
 
      Three things that are “the language for living” as a graphic designer is concept, idea, and life. Being a graphic designer doesn’t mean you have to be a good drawer. To be a graphic designer you have to be really interested in understanding human behavior. Such as understanding how people think or how they choose decisions. The basic things that a graphic designer deals with are typography and color theory.

      Graphic Design has a lot to do with words and images. Using words and images it can help you convey a message you want to get across people who are looking at your project. Graphics should be able to move you. If the graphics you are looking at moves you then that graphic is effective!! A graphic designer should be able to identify the little things that a construction worker shouldn’t exactly “catch”. For example graphic designers look out for the true colors and the light in different graphics.

Kelvin's Kitchen Logo

Image
For these 4 logos I did a plate with the words Kelvin's Kitchen on them, but I chose 2 different fonts. The font that I used in the top row is Dawning of a New Day. The second font I used for the bottom row is The Heart Maze Demo. I did this logo because it is supposed to represent something like ketchup or a sauce written on the plate. Then I made it with a black plate and a white plate. I also made one bigger version and 2 smaller versions. On these 4 logos I had the object be a cutting board. With the same 2 fonts and in the same positions as the ones on the plate. I also made the cutting boards black and white. I also made one version of the logo bigger and then 2 logos smaller versions. If you have any feedback on either logo please let me know in the comments.

Shadow

Image
For the shadow project I created this in Adobe Photoshop. We had to take an object an create a shadow with it. I chose to create a shadow for a pumpkin. I first had to find an image of a project and since the image I found had more things then I needed I took it into Photoshop and removed the background with the mask tool. Once that was finished, I started to make the shadow of the object. I used the gradient tool and had the image go from black to white for the shadow. In this project I learned how to make a shadow and I leaned how to use the gradient tool better.
