my type design

these are my type design, share with my classmates.

Hi,my name is Bian ce,anyway you can call me cecelia ,is my english name. I am a new student ,i am from China. I have graduated from shenyang normal university ,the electronics
and information engineering.
 
One of my friends has finished the course in Griffith,and she always speak something about 
  digital media with me .Then I found i like this subject although i know nothing about design.
she introduced the course to me , designing a magazine, shoting a video, designing a website,
everything i am interested in. So i choosed this course, and i enjoyed it very much, although it is very busy.

It was very busy last assignment week, and the worse thing is my computer is complete destroyed. I saved everything in my computer, my assignment, the notes, my photo and all the information that I downloaded from the net. In a word, I lost everything. I don’t know how it was destroyed. In order to do the assignment, I’ve no time to wait, so I got a new laptop. So that is the digital age, everything has two sides, positive and negative; it is the first time I experienced the terrible half of the digital technology. Although it is convenient, bigger storage than your brain, you may be lost them suddenly. So I suggest everybody save your important in another hard drive, or you can save them on the net. For example, some assignments I emailed lectures, now I can get them back from my outbox, and something that I uploaded on my blog could be back.

The Future Of Print Media

On the course of research method, we discussed the future of print media. Now we know we are living in a digital age, more and more technology was created and developed in recent 20 and 30 years, such as computer, digital camera, mobile phone, etc. So following with the development of digital device ，more and more information was existed and published in the digital form , it has impacted the traditional print media . What’s the future of the print media? It will still play an important role in people’s life, or it will be replaced by the digital media? Some researchers mentioned different view.

“People around the world, who need to and want to consume information, whether it is in developing countries or emerging countries, newsprint is still going to be a main mechanism for information for years to come.” So says Joshua Karp, founder of the new hybrid print-digital media service. [1] Somebody believes the print media couldn’t be replaced.

Now it is a generally accepted opinion in the media world: online is overtaking print. [2] But someone consider the print media is going to die.

It’s easy to see that the digital media is going to replace the print media, but I think it couldn’t be happened, in other words, very difficult. The print media has been existing for a long time, it must have its own superiority. The newspapers still have a big market in the digital age. Many people prefer reading book to on line. But print media face a big challenge now, and I think it will have a reformation in the future. How to develop the print media? All news needs to be published on the web first. [3] I think the timeliness is very important for the news. The print media should combine with the web. Take advantage of the digital media to develop itself.

typeface

Today we watched a film on the visual communication which tells about graphic design, font design.  Many good designers in the big companies work for this. They talk about the color about the typeface, the shape about the typeface, how to named the typeface, what does the designers need to do, and so on.

Actually I think the font is important, on the way home wei wang talked about something on the font. Some special typeface can give people deep impression, that’s why the designer designs lots different types every year. The new types can be used continuous by different companies as a logo or official documentary, to build up the company image.

Such as Arial and Helvetica, are very popular at present. I think because they are more readable and comfortable. Wei told me they are having their own history, they came from some ancient typeface. But anyway we can see them every day ,I think it will be changed in the future.

360SE is a boswer which is designed by a chinese company,and it is very popular in china now.I changed to use 360SE instead of IE last year.It is claimed the safest boswer because of it is a first broswer
which include "Cloud Security"in the world. Although I donnot really know what's the Cloud Security.

I read the introduction before I download it. It has many function that about the security. It can intercept virus website automatically.
It can distinguish virus file before you doenload the file.And it adds
some new fuctions such as the network favorite,which save your favorite website on the web,not on your computer.
The 360SE broswer update frequently,so it always repairs something wrong and renew something.And also it have many different types of skins that you can choose for yourself.

"Delete: The Virtue of Forgetting in the Digital Age" is a new book was written by Professor Viktor Mayer-Schönberger’s (Princeton U Press 2009). In this book, at the first chapter the author gives us two examples .A teacher who just got the qualification but failing to get a job because of the picture of her on a social networking site.And  another psychotherapist refused entry to the USA because of a journal article which was published several years before, in which he mentions having taken LSD in the 1960s. Through the examples ,the author arises a interesting problem,do we need to remember all that ?Do we need to keep everything for a long time ? The author consider it is a problem that we must solve that. At the end ,the author presents his own solution to the problem- data with a shelf life. He mentions "expiration date",namely that all the information whatever in your hard drive ,e-mail, website ... Should be delete in a prescriptive time.

About this problem,we discuss on our class . Eighteen students agree with the author's point and twelve students disagree with that . In my opinion, i agree with the author's view but not absolutely.

We know in the past people have to write down if we want to record information or rely on our human memory. Compare with the digital technology, it is limited. It is also very difficult to recall someone's memory before 20 or 30 years ago.  If some information is very important and it is still valuable ,how can we deal with them? Delete them? Or like the author's view ,give all the information a "expiration date". I want to say some information we must keep . In account of they are valuable even if not at the moment. That is why i cannot agree with the author's opinion.

Depends on the different kinds of the information, the solution should be different. Some information should keep one years ,two years even longer. But it isn't necessary to keep forever. So as the author's example ,the past is not present. Everything can be changed .

So I think we should create a new technique skill to control the information on the Internet in order to we can employ everything effective.

 

GOOD POSTER

              Do you know what is going to say ?First time I saw this design i didn't understand. Now I give you another one ,they are going to express a same thing.

                                                      

Now we understand these two posters for animal protection.

The first one just use a word "save",but the designer use a rabbit ears instead of theletter"v ".

It is simple but appeal to everyone.

The second one in more clearer.The designer use both image and type to express the idea.

The poor rabbit,the bloody hands,the dirty money can provide a more visual  way to understand it.

Logo Appreciation

I picked some logo design which i like . I hope they could  give me somg inspiration.Sharing with everybody...

In this series of drawings French designer and photographer Clo’e Floirat documents her thoughts on design in Berlin, where she’s lived for three years.

 DMY BERLIN AT BERLIN TEMPELHOF
About 60 years later, it is no longer a Candy Bomber “Rosinenbomber” that dropped supplies and candys for the children during the Berlin Blockade in 1949.

BERLINWEEKLY.COM

Berlin-weekly.com offers an interdisplinary playground and stage for artists and designers. The objects and installations arranged in the window are for sale.

MERZAEROBICS
Jerszy Seymour’s new aerobic workshop. “Merzaerobics, taking reference from Kurt Schwitters’Merzbau and its tenet, act without planning, offers a place to question and investigate our movements in everyday life. It proposes itself as an inquiry into the first “architctural” and “design” project, the movement of our own bodies in space; and offers itself as a place to liberate our movements from daily convention and simply to enjoy movement and exercice on a summer moring in a nowhere place.”

 MUSEUM DER DINGE
“Since summer 2007 the museum shows a significant part of its large and rarely exhibited collection of design and everyday culture of the 20th century in an “Open Storage” presentation. On the one hand the objects are arranged in a display of exemplary objects and supply information about the polarizing program of the Deutscher Werkbund and on the other hand give basic information about function, using-history in the 20th century and contemporary product culture.”
