Our Logo Ideas
The document discusses 5 potential logo designs for a campaign called "Copyright Heroes". Logo 2, a simple red and black capital C, is selected as the preferred logo as it is memorable yet simple and appeals to both genders with its mature look. Logo 3, featuring colorful lettering and shadows, is rejected for appearing too immature and targeting younger audiences rather than older teenagers. Logo 5, incorporating the superhero Superman, is also rejected for risking copyright infringement issues.
Graphicsdesign
The document provides designs for promotional materials for an app called "First Impact", including an app icon, voucher, and hoody designs. Key points discussed include refining the app icon to have rounded edges like real icons, ensuring consistent fonts and colors on the voucher, and choosing a hoody design that is more niche to appeal to hardcore fans rather than a mainstream design. Feedback was received on the designs and revisions were made to improve readability and authenticity.
Digital graphics
The document provides information on different types of digital graphics file formats including raster graphics, vector graphics, JPEG, TIFF, PSD, AI, 3DS. It then discusses a student's digital graphics project involving designing a t-shirt featuring a character from Adventure Time. The student used rotoscoping to create the character image, included text inside the character's mouth, and received peer feedback on the final design which noted the strengths of the rotoscoping but identified areas for improvement like the character's arms and fingers.

Digital graphics pro forma
The document provides information on different types of digital graphics file formats including raster graphics, vector graphics, JPEG, TIFF, PSD, AI, and 3DS. It discusses what each file format stands for, what it is commonly used for, advantages and disadvantages. Key points include raster graphics using pixels that can become distorted when enlarged, while vector graphics use geometric shapes and do not lose quality when enlarged. JPEG is commonly used for web but can lose quality with multiple edits. TIFF maintains quality after compression but has large file sizes. PSD supports layers and transparency but also has large file sizes.
2. research(3)
The document provides research and analysis on existing gaming magazine products. It notes several common conventions across the products, such as large, bold text and brighter colors. However, it argues these conventions do not well relate to the gaming genre. The analysis states aspects that will be included in the author's own work, such as using dark colors at the bottom graduating to lighter at the top, and not placing text over images. The document also profiles the intended audience for the magazine as mainly male, aged 10-25, from middle-class backgrounds, and with needs-driven psychographics responding to impulse and missing opportunities.
Final research
The document discusses font choices for a documentary film poster titled "Mirrored". It considers fonts that convey the film's themes of distorted self-image and criticism. Broken mirrors and glass are discussed as icons for these ideas. The font "Distortion Dos Analogue" is selected as it resembles a mirrored reflection and implies strength, suiting the film's exploration of societal pressures on physical appearance.

Final idea homeless
Henry Paul is creating designs for a homeless charity organization. He found fonts on DaFont.com that he thinks will look good and coincide with the theme of homelessness without being too dark. The designs will follow the organization's traditional green and white color scheme to maintain consistency while still attracting volunteers. Images of two hands slipping away from each other are intended to indirectly show helplessness without being too hard hitting. The posters and bus ad will each feature a headline and contact information simply displayed with similar fonts and colors so the theme is clear from the first glance.
1. fmp initial plans
The document outlines Benjamin Fahey's initial plans which include creating a clothing brand. The brand would have simple t-shirt, hoodie, and jumper designs that are lightweight for different weather. Alternatively, the brand could focus on sportswear with shorter, lightweight clothing inspired by sports uniforms. Fahey would create posters, a catalogue, and use Redbubble to advertise and sell the clothing designs. The target audience would be teenagers and young adults. Fahey analyzes sample mood boards and font styles to influence the brand's designs. An informal proposal provides more details on the clothing line, advertising methods, production needs, and target audience. Game and band advertisements were discounted idea due to difficulties with required skills.
7. evaluation(4)
The document provides an evaluation of an FMP production process. It summarizes the research, planning, time management, technical qualities, aesthetic qualities, audience appeal, and peer feedback stages. For research, it looked at magazine styles for gamers. Planning helped organize the final product layout but some images were irrelevant. Time was managed well and the project was completed early. The covers used transparent drawings, fonts, and edited photos in a darker style. Color scheme and edited background image made the cover appealing. Colors and photo aimed to attract mature and young audiences. Peer feedback noted the good color use but too much text, and irrelevant jokes. The producer agreed more images and less text were needed.
Pro forma
Here are 3 potential improvements if the image was repeated:
1. Enlarge the text on the shirt to make it easier to read from a distance. The small text is a nice detail but could be scaled up slightly.
2. Add more filling elements inside the circular badge space to take up more of the shirt front. This would make it feel more balanced and complete.
3. Experiment with different color combinations for the badge design. The blue and white works well but other colorways could also pop and appeal to different audiences. Testing alternative colors could help increase sales reach.
Research
The document provides a summary of the website for the clothing brand Future Self. Key points include:
- The website has a minimal, monochrome design with white, black and photos to draw attention.
- Product categories are shown through an initial slideshow and additional sections.
- Photos on the website were taken during outdoor photo shoots with natural lighting.
- Individual product pages could be improved by making the pages longer and adding social media.
- The brand's Instagram utilizes photos from shoots and color schemes to showcase new collections.
- Looking at other brands' websites provided inspiration for designing accessible and visually appealing pages.
Research
The document provides details about a clothing brand called Future Self and the website design. It summarizes key aspects of the website layout, color scheme, navigation, and photo styles that were analyzed. The summarizer found some elements to be effective, such as the minimal design, slideshow of product categories, and consistent color theme. It also noted some aspects that could be improved, such as having longer product pages and contact information at the bottom.
Pro forma
Based on the information provided, it seems your T-shirt design employed a retro/vintage style inspired by the 1960s era. Some key aspects of this style include:
- Simple color palette using shades of blue and white for a refined, "upper-class" look rather than many contrasting colors.
- Vintage-inspired fonts like a handwritten style for the business name and serif font for slogans/address to mimic logos of that era.
- Use of decorative elements like a gem and crown vector graphics to lend an air of wealth and sophistication.
- Distressed/weathered texture effect to give the logo an aged, authentic retro feel as if it was a real vintage badge
Pro forma
The document discusses different types of digital file formats used for graphics. Raster graphics use pixels and have a fixed resolution, so they can distort when enlarged. Vector graphics use paths defined by start and end points, allowing them to scale smoothly without quality loss. Common file formats include JPEG for photographs, TIFF for lossless compression, PSD for image editing with layers, AI for vector graphics like logos, and 3DS for 3D modeling. Each format has advantages and disadvantages for different uses.
Research
- The document analyzed responses to a questionnaire about clothing brands, prices, and target audience preferences.
- Most respondents were teenagers and young adults, informing the initial target market of teenagers and young adults dealing with mental health issues.
- Questions about acceptable prices found that people would pay a range for t-shirts and hoodies, helping determine pricing options for the new brand.
- Responses indicated creating a unisex brand would double the target audience by appealing to all genders and avoiding gender stereotypes in colors.
Photoshoot draft photos
The document outlines draft photos for a photoshoot across different mediums. For the magazine cover, the model will pose similarly to Deadshot but with a camera instead of a gun and an explosion collage background. The website layout will feature multiple top labels to direct users and articles on current film topics. The billboard design will be simplistic with a puzzle involving the film's title to engage viewers.

The final design is presented, incorporating the main character's face, weapon, title text, and the designer's magazine logo. Feedback has been positive, attracting interest in the movie from those unfamiliar with it.
All Time Low advert
The document is an analysis of an advertisement created by the author to promote the new album by the band All Time Low. The author believes the ad would look professional enough to appear in a magazine. The central image features the band members holding a sign with the album name. Bold text and fading lighting are used to draw attention. Placement of the album cover at the bottom ensures it will be seen by any reader. Overall, the ad is considered effective at visually representing and promoting the product.

1) Numerical Representation - Everything in digital media can be reduced to binary code.
2) Modularity - New media pieces can be taken apart and reassembled into different combinations.
3) Automation - Software allows for manipulation of data using templates and tools.
4) Variability - There are multiple ways to experience new media creations.
5) Transcoding - Conversion of media between forms, such as photos to JPEG files. Transcoding allows compression and sharing of media.

The 17 Graphic Design Tips All Non Designers Need to Know
I am not a trained graphic designer. But if you’re reading this post, you’re probably not either. And I’m guessing you’re not heading to art school anytime soon.
Visual Rhetoric, February 7, 2013
This document discusses the principles of contrast, repetition, alignment, and proximity (CRAP) in design. It provides definitions and examples of each principle. Readers are asked to pick two online designs that illustrate one of the principles and email them to the instructor. The document also assigns homework of completing initial design work for a print project and reading about type from recommended books and chapters.
C.R.A.P.
Contrast, repetition, alignment, and proximity (C.R.A.P.) are foundational principles of design that help organize information and prevent confusion. Contrast ensures different elements look distinct. Repetition unifies elements through consistent use of colors, logos, etc. Alignment positions elements purposefully on a page using measurements. Proximity groups similar elements and separates different ones using whitespace. These principles make designs more memorable and visually clear.

3) As an in-class activity, students are instructed to insert their own photo into a movie poster using Photoshop within 4 minutes to demonstrate an understanding of C.R.A.P. They then must post the resulting image to Tumblr.
Week 2
This document provides an overview of rhetorical analysis and key concepts related to analyzing any text. It discusses Aristotle's definition of rhetoric as observing means of persuasion. Rhetorical analysis involves reading and critiquing a text while understanding its context and persuasive techniques. Key aspects that should be analyzed include ethos, pathos, logos, kairos, style, audience, purpose, context, metaphor, story, delivery, and culture. Examples are provided of analyzing a movie poster to demonstrate these concepts. Basic principles of design such as contrast, repetition, alignment, and proximity are also explained. Readers are then asked to redesign a poorly designed event flyer using these analytical and design skills.
Crap
Robin Williams wrote a popular design handbook for non-designers. The document then discusses C.R.A.P., a foundational design principle consisting of contrast, repetition, alignment, and proximity. It defines each concept, with contrast involving differences between elements, repetition as repeating colors or styles, alignment as positioning elements in relation to each other, and proximity as grouping similar elements together. Examples are provided to illustrate each C.R.A.P. principle.

Brief Video Game History
The first video game was created in 1958 and was called Tennis for Two. In the 1970s, Atari created early arcade games like Computer Space and Pong, popularizing the video game industry. In the 1980s, Nintendo launched the NES console and games like Super Mario Bros, The Legend of Zelda, and Metroid, starting the console wars between Nintendo, Sega, and others. World of Warcraft's success in 2004 demonstrated the popularity of online and PC gaming. The mobile gaming industry also grew significantly in the late 2000s with the rise of smartphones.
Dungeons & Dragons history
Dungeons & Dragons, conceived by Gary Gygax as an extension of his wargaming hobby to include fantasy elements, became one of the first role-playing games and an inspiration for many video games. Starting as a supplement for his wargames called Chainmail, Gygax added magical elements to engage players. With friend Dave Arneson, they expanded on this, forming the company Tactical Studies Rules to publish the seminal title Dungeons & Dragons in 1974. D&D went on to huge commercial success but also moral panics over its occult themes before being acquired by Wizards of the Coast and then Hasbro, who continue publishing new editions today.
Rhetoric of Advertising
Advertisements use visual rhetoric to convey messages and influence consumers. Imagery, color, layout, and other design elements all work together to appeal to audiences on an emotional level and shape perceptions. How an ad presents itself visually impacts what impressions it makes and what actions it inspires in viewers.
Logos
The document discusses logos and their purpose from a rhetorical perspective. It emphasizes that logos must represent an organization or person completely and that decisions about logos must be precise and grounded rhetorically. It then lists 10 rules for effective logos, such as answering who, what and why, identifying rather than explaining, and designing for longevity and a variety of media. The document notes that personal logos can be challenging but that the key is understanding the occasion rhetorically and infusing unique personality elements. It stresses the importance of evoking feeling with a personal logo.

Logos for VisRhet
The document provides feedback on logo submissions for a football team. It shows the submitted logos anonymously and notes that participants can choose to claim their logo or remain anonymous. The feedback comments that most logos did well but some common mistakes were forgetting important colors, not following NFL style guidelines, and logos being too cute rather than fitting the league's image. Positives included vibrant use of colors, great contrast choices, and logos looking clean which meets NFL standards. Overall the feedback was that the submissions did well.

How to Manage Your Lost Opportunities in Odoo 17 CRM
Odoo 17 CRM allows us to track why we lose sales opportunities with "Lost Reasons." This helps analyze our sales process and identify areas for improvement. Here's how to configure lost reasons in Odoo 17 CRM
How to Make a Field Mandatory in Odoo 17
In Odoo, making a field required can be done through both Python code and XML views. When you set the required attribute to True in Python code, it makes the field required across all views where it's used. Conversely, when you set the required attribute in XML views, it makes the field required only in the context of that particular view.
How to Fix the Import Error in the Odoo 17
An import error occurs when a program fails to import a module or library, disrupting its execution. In languages like Python, this issue arises when the specified module cannot be found or accessed, hindering the program's functionality. Resolving import errors is crucial for maintaining smooth software operation and uninterrupted development processes.

South African Journal of Science: Writing with integrity workshop (2024)Academy of Science of South Africa
A workshop hosted by the South African Journal of Science aimed at postgraduate students and early career researchers with little or no experience in writing and publishing journal articles.LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UP
This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like
Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems

Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can

September 16th Digital Rhetoric and Writing: C.R.A.P.
- 2. Today: 1)Reminders 2)And now, some C.R.A.P. 3)Fix this C.R.A.P. 4)Next time!
- 3. Remember: You should have a grade for your meme submission, unless, of course, you didn’t submit one. If you have questions about your grade, let me know. Make sure your response blogs are up-to-date.
- 4. Robin Williams and C.R.A.P. This is Robin Williams. She’s not Mork, of course. She is responsible for a great many awesome design texts that are reader-friendly. You’ve started reading her best work, IMHO, the non-designer’s design handbook. It’s worth owning a copy, if you are a person who doesn’t like always looking at online books.
- 5. AND NOW SOME C.R.A.P.
- 6. As funny as it is… … making CRAP jokes, it really is a foundational premise of design, and it’s deeply important (and thanks to our sense of humor usually quite memorable). The letters, of course, stand for: Contrast Repetition Alignment Proximity
- 7. You read about it So I’m going to give these to you in my words, along with a few quick examples, so you can get a good sense of how it works. First, though, let’s see how well YOU can define them!
- 8. CONTRAST
- 9. Contrast Basically stated, contrast means that things that are similar look similar but things that are different look clearly different. This keeps your reader from becoming confused and creating relationships that aren’t present. It comes, of course, from literal contrast, the light-to-dark or black-to-white of an image. In design it often ends up being about color values.
- 10. This image is a great example, and it is also a hyperlink to a great blog entry on contrast, if you want to learn more.
- 11. REPETITION
- 12. Repetition Maybe the easiest of these four concepts to define, repetition is, just as you’d guess, repeating something– a color, a logo, a typeface, a type style. It unifies and organizes.
- 14. ALIGNMENT
- 15. Alignment Alignment is about positioning on a page. Nothing should be put on haphazardly. There should be a reason and a measurement that guides where things are placed in relation to each other.
- 16. The image to the right links to a post that has some cool reflection on alignment. And there’s all kinds of alignment going on with the new Windows 8 start page.
- 17. PROXIMITY
- 18. Proximity Proximity is very similar in theory to alignment, but it’s more about grouping and use of white space. Basically: similar things are grouped together, different things require space.
- 20. Annnnd now…
- 21. SOMETHING BROKEN To see how well we’re grasping our C.R.A.P., I want to look at one poorly designed flyer and talk about how we might make it better. Prepare thyself! It’s… really bad. Seriously. Are you sitting down?
- 22. From http://www .bignnasty prod.com/ site/djdirty/ djdirty.htm
- 23. Design choices I’m not sure I precisely understand it, but there’s sort of a sub-genre of party flyers that look a bit like this one. Knowing that, I don’t want to act as if this is absolutely hideous, but I think you can safely say, based on our readings so far, that this is not a well designed flyer. When addressing a flyer like this, we want to collect some key information. So let’s break down what we actually have here.
- 24. Elements What is the event? What are the key brand info and what is critical to tell the audience? What is the key graphic thrust?
- 25. FIX IT! Pair up. Using whatever software you want (other than word– no word), make a better flyer than the one we have. Email it to me when done.
- 26. For Thursday: Read: Chapters 7 and 8 of The Non-Designer’s Design Handbook
