INFOGRAPHICS

"COFFEE"

In this one it talks about the consumption of coffee. you have the captions compartmentalized by the coffee circles and you have little pictures to represent each fact and then the brown stands out from the white background and all the type face is the same font and is about the same color of brown and a lighter shades of brown.

"FUR" 

This one is about how much fur is used each year. it has a dark background and has bright colors as the information that is supposed to stand out and draw our attention and the information is given kind of bulleted and chuncked. the typeface is all the same font, but some of the words are different colors and different sizes.

 Creative Brief

The History of Sexuality

The original author of the book, The History of sexuality, is Michel Foucault, but the client of the book cover design is Vintage/Pantheon Books. This company has been with AIGIA design for the past several years and entering into many of their design competitions. They design and redesigning books and book covers for authors and volumes.  The purpose or some might say the goal for this new series of book covers were to re illustrate an older series of books by Michel Foucault. I guess the results of how well the cover does on the book, the History of sexuality, will be measured on how many new copies of the book will be sold, but for every book sold all of the profit will not all be profit for the Vintage/Pantheon Books Company.

                A good target audience would be the young adults, it is meant to target interest into the book because it is a simple one image not too much and not plain either. The cover is simple colors of grayscale and a simple layout of rectangles.  The spring is the first they that draws your attention then next you are drawn to the authors name then last you read the title of the book which is to grab your attention and make you wonder even more. The whole hierarchy of the cover is to draw the attention of the audience and keep them interesting and looking into the book.      

                The original publications was in 1974, but then was republished in 1984, and the most resent publications was in New York City in 2010. My opinion is that comparing to the other design covers this this the most intriguing and the one most simple but not about a simple topic. 

Movement, rhythm, and value modular.

For this project we used a photo as a reference and i used the edge of a water fountain that i have at home. The idea of this project was to employ movement and utilizes rhythm. The different layers of squares help show rhythm with thee layers getting larger further you go down, and the original fountain was wood. I used a texture to make some of the layers look like wood, but i did not do every layer like so because i felt it was overcrowded that way. The repetition of the corners of the squares line up and make there own line down the page, which also shows movement. The rocks at the bottom are in a small repetition, but hardly noticeable. The ribbon on the outer page i hope draws your attention closer to the main area of focus and shows movement.
