Advertisement Reflection

The above ad is a hershey's ad that is very simple and to the point. I really like the use of similiar color, balance, and text, however, there seems to be way to much white space and a few other issues. There is really not much that will catch an eye, except the word hershey's. Also, the use of 'my' so many times really bugs me...
So, this ad may work for some, but really needs alot of work...

InDesign Likes

InDesign seems like it is a lot like Photoshop and Illustrator, with all the tools and actions.
The ability to enter text within a shape is amazing and easy!
The frame tool is grteat if one would like to add pictures.
The addition of free transform within the tools list, really saves time.
The gradient feathering tool is fun to change the gradient colors.
The ability to look at an entire book, magazine, or piece of work is amazing!

Can't wait to get started!

Personal Logo

Here are two different personal logos that I have created that are focused on me!

The first really displays me because of the color and the use of the dress design in the corner!

The second is a design that I created a long time ago, that really looks fun and flowing!

INTERGRATING ADOBE

So far I have learned many aspects of both photoshop and illustrator... but to use both of them at the same time is amazing!

1. Using photoshop to make pictures look amazing.

2. Text created in photoshop is much better than text in illustrator.

3. Photoshop is also great for creating great text effects.

4. Photoshop also creates great 3D text effects.

5. Illustrator is great for designing anything, from clothing to people.

By using the two programs to create certain things, and then combining the finished product, the work looks amazing!

Analyzing Logos

Everyone knows what the above image is and what it stands for. The logo is just text, but text in a magical font. This company uses many colors within the logo, Disney, but this one really popped out at me because of all the colors. The colors remind me of children and fun! They kind of display a rainbow!

This is another well known company, with a pretty great logo. The use of both words and a symbol really sends the customer a grand idea for what the company is trying to provide.

The use of blue really shows the viewer trustworthiness, reliability, and confidence. They know the company will not let them down. The symbol really adds a spark to the logo, and the use of yellow adds warmth and happiness.

Arbys is a great company for that amazing roast beef and cheese sandwich. The above logo has text, symbol, and product all in one. The arbys text is a great font, that really adds to the logo, and the color red increases excitement of the customer, adding an increase in want for the product.

The symbol, hat, adds some country style to the logo, and the red does the same as before, increasing the customers want or excitement of the product.

The actually product makes the viewer really want the product, because it looks really tasty and this really adds desire for the product.
