Visual Communication Lesson 12

In the 12th post & lesson of visual communication, we focused on continuing the designing of our brochure and also ask any questions and clarify anything we don't understand. It was a great chance for me that session to get the input of not only my lecturer but my classmates on how my design is as a whole and also make it look better as a whole. After the first half of the session, we were given a break. After the break, it was consultation.

During consultation, I showed my lecturer the design that I had for both sides of the brochure. Through this week's of consultation, I learnt a few things. Firstly, I understood how sizing of the picture that I've gotten from stock images is important so that a picture looks like what it is and not distorted. For instance, a picture of a globe should look like a circle and not oval-ish, so that is doesn't look like a weird thing or balloon. Another thing I was told to refine was the photographs given by the client. The photos were too long, and I raised the question on if I resize it it'll look very small. However, I learnt that this problem can be curbed by using photoshop, which we learnt previously to crop the photo so that we can still use the photo without affecting the size too much. This allowed me to learn based on a problem basis, which I think is very helpful.

Also, I realized the importance of font colour and exactly what font it is and how it affects the brochure overall as a whole. I will go bak and refine the work and see how it comes out.
