Shawn Moore's media

  Here I was able to make a funny comic with my coach and I. I used photoshop and illustrator to help me with the editing.  I thought it was funny and i was able to use my skills to create this master piece. My disc golf logo was pretty cool to make and I had fun creating this in illustrator.  

  1.   In your own words, describe the style of Hal Riney's ads how his childhood experiences may have shaped his style. He was doing it to make people understand and connect to the business with his ads. The song he used had nothing to do with the bank, but it still worked because it connected with the people and made them feel some type of way. He was a quiet kid. He waited to speak up and used some of those as a what if, His father left and he grew up without some emotion and he used advertising as a avenue to express some of the things that he experienced.

I included everything because of how important they are in my life.

 As I take a look at this for a second time I am going to change my answer. I do still agree that digital media is awesome but now I have a better understanding of it now after a semester of working here on some pretty cool projects. I now see that this day and age everything is moving from print media to digital media so it is literally everywhere. I feel as if the more people you know the easier it becomes to find work in the field of graphic design. As stated, "design is constantly changing" I can completely agree with that because if you do no keep up with common trends or make new ones, it will become very hard to be/continue to be successful.  Visual identity in graphic design will probably be the field that I am most interested in. I am excited to make logos again, and someone has reached out to me and requested that I try to make a few changes to their current logo. I have found that I am somewhat decent at what I like to do now, so I am excited about this in the futu...
