Milton Glaser

1. What makes Milton Glaser an important figure today still is the fact that he is known for things that are still so popular today. For instance, The I "heart" NY shirts and they are still used. Also different forms of them are made today in the same aspects of his original design.

2. The first one under ten things that I've learned is you can only work for people that you life. This has a big impression on me because it is the truth basically. If you go to work everyday and you don't like your boss it is going to have an affect on the way you work. You will drag your feet and not want to work it will bring down the skills of what you know how to do. Go to a place where you love working so you can do what you love, have fun with people and put your skills to good use.

3. When I get started on a new project I can think differently on how I am going to approach it. Put some different elements into it. 

Design Journal Assignment 2

When I thought about what to do for my letterhead I thought more "signature-esk" and something more classical...as I got into it more I realized inDesign didn't have the materials to make it look how I wanted. Or maybe it was and I didn't have the knowledge of what to do? When I looked at letterheads online they were very creative and I couldn't think of my own way to make them creative. So I went with what I thought was  the best.


I made mine more of a girly feel, but not too girly. It does not have too much pink in it, its very suttle with for the text and some black so it doesn't give too much pink feel. I followed that whole look throughout each project. Except I dropped the black line in the business card and the envelope because I felt that it was too much.

First post for design journal

1. It is important for students to learn about design because we will most likely need some forms of this. If we are preparing a brochure, or a poster we will need to know design elements. Things like what goes where, and also where it looks good, and where it doesn't look good, colors that go better with others. It teaches us so we can use it for our career. It needs to be appealing to the audience, that is a reason that it is helpful for communication majors to study design.

2. Good design matters because if something is very cluttered the audience will just look away and not even pay attention to what there is too show. This might mean your product/event will not get the attention it deserves. So in order to fufill the needs of the audience you have to adjust it to things they need, like what the poster/brochure or whatever your creating has on it.
