Journal 20: Product Design


I love this product design! It's a salon hair product, so it's pretty expensive, but I love that it has a very simple design. It's simple in a way that looks sleek, not cheap, so it's obvious that it is a higher end brand that's just not over doing things or trying too hard. The use of a monochromatic color pattern with just the pop of pink adds interest.

Journal 18: Computer Generated

I chose each font to go with the word to describe what I think the word should look like. For energetic I chose a font with tapered edges and a light feel to give it movement. For focused I chose a heavier, more deliberate, font. For creative I chose one that is kind of cliche but I think it fits, the light color says creativity to me. For bored I chose Times New Roman 12pt because I think that's the most boring font. For peaceful I chose a font that seemed calm and light, with a relaxing green color.


Energetic
Focused
Creative

Bored. 
Peaceful

Journal 17: Handwriting


The right side of the ad got cut off, but it explains that it is advertising Texas as a vacation spot. I think the handwriting is effective because it fits with the look of the ad and adds to the laid back feeling of the page. It works to create a casual feeling and lends to the idea that Texas would be an excellent place to relax and get away.
