Graphic/Media Design


I feel that this design is quite busy. the words are very legible and bold, but there are too many of them and they look quite cluttered. The colors are extremely loud and draw the reader in, but all of the writing gets the viewer lost and confused. The set up is very appropriate; with the number and location at the bottom. But, the rest of the add could be downsized a small amount.

This advertisement is very straight forward. It consists of a couple of simple words that describe this product. It allows the viewer to be intrigued by the colors and very readable font. The picture shows a great image of the product along with the company's name is very easy to find and all of the necessary information is listed on the site.

This advertisement I feel has a very good impact. Looking at it, it seems to jump out to the viewer. The patterns and colors makes the page appear to stick out which draws the reader in. The sections are also another intriguing part of this ad. I feel it is a little busy, but the message comes accross as clear and easily referenced.

This advertisement I feel is poorly designed. It is too wordy and there are too many sections where words are placed. These words seem to be placed more for ornamental purposes then for advertisement. I think the color is bland and does not seem intriguing to the viewer. This also makes the viewer bored and wanting to flip the page to another product.

This advertisement was clever, but a little difficult to understand. I took from this site that the ad was supposed to represent the leather on the furniture is as real as the skin from the place they are from. It probably would have been easier to interpret if there was a small saying or blurb about the leather or animals of the safari. I think the point is humorous, but the message could be clearer. the logo is well placed, it is shown, but not overly emphasized.

This design was great. the message was clear and humorous. I feel the set up was also very captivating. The picture was large and easily associated with. The product and saying was listed below the photo allowing the viewer to be easily intrigued. The flow was very well planned and probably helped sell the product.

I really enjoy looking at this graphic everytime I see it. It shows not only great contrast in color, but it promotes the perfume through a seductive manner. The apples look detailed enough to grab and eat. The model looks very natural showing that natural beauty is what makes a girl beautiful and worth special things. The logo is simple and the saying is easily read and understood.

This design is for Coca-Cola products. It shows that no other product can compare with the one shown here. Other products are not worth the price that you pay and they do not hold up to the same name as Coca-Cola. This graphic shows a great image and displays a popular product through making the viewer crave thirst and it's bubbly taste, refreshing taste.

This advertisement was very confusing. I got that it was talking about a feminine product through the color pink. I did not get the quote that was made. Or the picture demonstrated. I like the colors and how they incorporated with each other, but the saying needs to be altered. I believe it may be speaking about faking drunken actions? And how it is better to do that then have a fake product.

This graphic design is an advertisement for graphic designs. To me I was very confused about this ad. I felt as if I had to look a couple times and then read about this ad before I could determine what it was for. I do not think an ad should be like this, it makes the viewer confused and looking over the page several of times.
