Finding research sources

Quote

This is the quote that I have chosen. I choose this because Amazon and Google are popular websites that people usually access so I can do the research on it easily.Also, I think it would be interesting to look at these popular websites how do their layout, colour, type etc attracting people focus. At the same time, I can learn from it so that it can enhance my knowledge.

History of Image

  Basically, this lecture was mainly focused on introducing us to a broad range of visual communication from different cultures, contexts, and epochs, also to demonstrate how creative and tangential connections and continuities can be traced between these diverse examples. I really like one image from this lecture.

  This is the Barack Obama "Hope" poster, I thought this poster is very interesting, it just used few colours which are quite simple, I like the tone from light blue to light red, it seems hopeful. I did some research about this poster. This poster was designed by Shepard Fairey and described as iconic and came to represent his 2008 presidential campaign. It consists of a stylised stencil portrait of Obama in solid red, beige and (light and dark) blue, with the word "progress", "hope". I found lots of posters which inspired by the "Hope" poster, it seems very famous over the world. I am thinking if I can make something like this or not by using that simple typeface and tone of colour. 

Visual Literacy - The Language of Design

Visual Communication

  Being a designer, we should be able to solve communication problems by using images or motion, also communicate our ideas to different audiences in a range of contexts.

Visual Literacy: The ability that explain ideas from images and types that can be read.Being visually literacy need to contain an awareness between Visual Syntax and Visual Semantics.

  Visual Syntax means the basic elements of an image that can affect the audiences. For example framing, format, scale, colour, font.

  Visual Semantics represents a way that an image fits into a cultural process of communication.

  Semiotics is the study of the sign process.

  Visual Synecdoche is a term to represent a large thing such as a place.

  Visual Metonym is a symbolic image to make reference to something. 

  Visual Metaphor represents using an image to represent an other image.
