one color process blue
I chose this article because of the one color blue is used in the layout. I hear some customers on a tight budget may want a designer to design something using one color if he can save money.

color
The reason I picked up this flyer because of the color. I recalled Connie saying color is very important in graphic design. Color can grab someones attention. But these two colors are very interesting to me mute color and blue. The colors reminded me the rage I experience when my uncle bought my mom a blue chair to go into a brown office. I thought the chair clash. My cousin told me all I have to do is buy a throw pillow that has both blue and brown in it. So when I went to pick up the pillow the first color I went to grab the light mute color containing light blue and beige. I said to myself the pillow would blend together in harmony. I decided to get a bright colors in the pillows to make intensity and value contrast. Aiming to make contrast made a difference in the room. So I can see that I am learning how to adjust color.

Wells Fargo
After portfolio day, I was convinced to be organizing and to give myself more time to perform task because it takes longer than I imagine. I saw how I was not prepared. It hurt me. The worked that I printed was not the final draft. So I had something to show but it was not my best worked on the presentation. Even though it was not my best worked, I still saw that I had room to learn with my type. I felt like I barely touched the surface with type.
I talked to Greg Ross orabor.com. He told me it was a good thing that I was in school for another year so that I can work on my type. I was surprised and hurt to hear him say it.
After looking at his web sits I can see how I can get better. He plays with type. It was very interesting.
I asked for his suggestion he suggest that I read books on type and looked at different layouts in magazines. So I know this is an area that really needs to be developed. In art 308, I recalled reading the importance of type. It is really critical. It is not an area that I want to slack in or continue to be weak.
