Healthy lifestyle poster

movie poster

This movie poster is for the original Star Wars movie and I think it is a great design and I think what makes it even more of an awesome design is that every other Star Wars movie after this used a very similar layout and it continues to look amazing for each and every movie.

"Movie Poster Maker" article reaction

     This article about, poster artist, Dustin Stanton was very well put together and I never found myself loosing focus on it and I believe that is because of the question and answer format of the article. It was very interesting to learn about how he started off in a small family conpany and made his way up the ranks. I really liked reading the toughts of a actual poster artist who has some famous artwork. I also enjoyed when he spoke about how he went about doing each of the posters he was asked about. Overall I felt like it was very well put together and it kept me wanting to know more the entire time.

Dennis' HW #3

      I really liked the question and answer format because it kept me interested and gave a lot of ideas in a short time. Its very interesting to learn about how artist learn and succeeded in what they did. I liked how all the questions and answes kind of lead into eachother and didn't jump to far from topic to topic. In this article Dave Perillo showed me that all i need to do is be determined and do what makes me happy to succeed in life as an artist. Overall i really enjoyed reading this question and answer with Dave Perillo because i learned new things and was interested the whole time.

Reaction to Video

    This video really made me think because when you say the word design I instantly think of art and things similar to that, but this video showed the other more productive side of design. I liked how she took a really sharp turn from furniture design to gas masks for the people suffering in Israel, it really caught my attention. She also made great point about the design of the toys for disabled children to make them feel better and the ways that kids can want to take their medicine. I think it was awesome the way she presented and explain everything because she really changed the way i imagine the word "design".

Reaction to the article

        The article "How to Ruin a Great Design" had some things I agreed with and others I didn't. The road signs do bother me when the letters are unproportional, but I don't get destracted by it as the author stated he did. I agree with the author about the simple and to the point designs because it gets the job done, but doesn't distract you from the road. The whole thing about the companies changing old logos doesn't bother me as much as it bothered the author. I don't care what the logo looks like as long as it tell me about the company in some way. I actually really cair for the UPS logo because it's simple and tell everybody what it needs to.

Write a five line story?

A normal family from New York goes on a road trip around the country and somewhere around tornado alley they were alerted of a nearby tornado. Their first instinct was to try to avoid it...They tried to do so but still got caught in it in their car. Their tiny car stood no chance to the wild tornado. They were then picked up into the tornado and found out it was not a tornado, but in fact it was a alien spaceship bringing them up to the ship. These alien were nice and offered them space food, and they all ate a nice meal together. Later that day the family was returned to Earth and they were excited about telling everybody. Nobody of course did not believe them and the whole family was put in a mental hospital. THE END.
