Bending rules for design

In the article Creative Anarchy at Its Very Best it talks about the ways on how to bend rules to make a design better and give it more of an eye catching theme. The author argues that following rules to graphic design will make your design boring, lame, uncreative so instead of following them bend the rules a little bit and go in your own path "Design is everywhere. Poor design creates chaos." (Denise Bosler).
The article though has many strengths like giving quotes from famous people and researching them to find a quote from Michelangelo. Another strength would be the creative topic, title and picture which is grabbing the readers attention. What the author can work on is keeping the reader attentions there are points where it just started going from interesting to boring to interesting and that can be fixed, but right now thats annoying.
The authors general conclusion in this entire article is your knowledge is limitless it just requires bending rules and going your own route.

Critique 

1. The author stays on his point throughout the entire passage and continuously mentions it.

2.The evidence is very convincing and stays on topic like the transition from "poor designs creates chaos" to the ballot card box in 2000 for the U.S. presidential election.

 3. This gives very good information to help graphic designers see what you have to do to create something eye opening that catches peoples attention and makes them want what ever it's advertising.

Graphic design project one.

      The past couple days my e-comm class has been working on requiring the skill of illustrator. We followed step by step on how to make a pencil and a can as seen on the right. I had problems finding a good shade of yellow so I kinda messed with it a little bit.
     after we finished the main pencil we made our own we; well I'm weird so I kinda twisted it around and gave it a red a black coloring like a black widow spider don't ask why I just did. So that was the theme really for my own pencil a twisted pencil with the black and red.
     Finally we got to make our own little thing again my weirdness kicked in and I made a duck looking thing and gave some extra stuff around I believe it had to do with something about me well I guess I can call myself a quack so I added that in. Really in that last thing I just wanted to mess with different tools and see what can be made off using only 3 shapes yes that picture is full of twisted stars, rectangle, and a circle. Well that was our first illustrator project this year and can't wait to do more.

first Video blog 2015

     In this project I had to watch and create a storyboard for a video about a girl that lifted weights.  In order for me to do this I must go scene by scene and pausing at each transition so I can see the sequence change and so I can draw what is being shown in the image.
     The story that was told was about a girl but she wasn't one of those everyday girls; Michaela lifted weights with her dad as her coach. She held many records at her school as a power lifter making her father proud. This was told in a manner to show how her family loved her no matter what weather it was in the kitchen or on the court lifting.
     Something that I would take out of this video would be the way they used the six shot sequence and how it flowed smoothly and for future project the control of always having sound weather it was from the background or someone talking. Something that could be approved in this video is keeping the camera still there were points where I thought there was a shake. Other for that the video was great it had a very good story behind it, great transition shots , and really good voice overs.
