Why Graphic Design?                                                                                                                                                                  I am interested in graphic design because I have a love for art, as well as connecting with people through different art medias. Ever since I was a kid, I had a passion for art. Being able to impact someone just through ads, logos, or commercials means a lot to me, and is why I chose graphic design.  I would like to take what I learn from this class to help me become a graphic designer myself. Two areas of that I found interesting in the reading were motion design and advertising.

 Motion Design:                                                                                                                                                                               I found motion design to be an interesting area because it is an eye catching way to attract people through sound and visual effects. Being able to produce something that can be heard and seen across the world can be a life changing experience, especially when it can connect emotionally with other people who see it. This form of graphic design can hit home for many people. Being able to create one would be an interesting experience and extremely fun. I have a very active mind that is constantly thinking of new ideas. Having those ideas come to life is a dream come true.

Advertising:                                                                                                                                                                                      I found advertising to be another interesting area of graphic design because it is one of the most famous forms of graphic designing. I say this because advertising is EVERYWHERE! People see it on their televisions, phones, computers, tablets, stores, and even hear it from other people. It consumes our lives and sometimes we don’t even realize it. The reason I like it the most is because a single ad that might just have a picture, can mean so much. I’m a very shy, but creative person. Sometimes it’s hard for me to express how I feel or talk about my problems, but being able to express through a picture helps a lot, and can help others as well.

This is an ad about the awareness of smoking and how it can effect the ones around you. It holds a strong message and a strong image.

This is a more funnier ad about Burger King. Ronald McDonald is ordering from his rival in the fast food industry, Burger King. This ad shows the viewer that Burger King’s food is so good, that even Ronald McDonald himself cant resist.
