Blog Post #2 Advertising

 


What I already know about advertising is that the design needs to be able to attract new consumers. It should look professional and be eye-catching to the intended audience. I think simplicity in design is especially important—not having too much going on or anything too overwhelming unless it's necessary. The image above is an advertisement I created for one of my previous classes.

In InDesign, there are many ways to manipulate and flow type to create visually engaging layouts. One example is the  tracking and kerning  tool.

These tools help refine the readability and aesthetics of the design. Another useful tool is the  text flow tool , which allows text to flow around any shape or object. For instance, text can be made to flow in a circle or in waves, giving the design a more playful and dynamic feel. One possibility I envision with these tools is the creation of logos using flowing text. A great example of this is the  Starbucks  logo, where the words "Starbucks Coffee" flow around in a circular shape, framing the logo itself.

  Hello, my name is Diego Lopez, and the image above is the monogram logo that I designed. The challenge wasn’t in using the different Adobe applications to design my monogram—it was in creating the monogram itself. I wanted something clean and simple, inspired by logos like YSL and LV. The hardest part was choosing the right font, one that allowed the letters to overlap neatly without looking messy. I’ve learned how to finalize a project for print-ready use by exporting in the correct file formats. A final PDF is especially important because it preserves formatting, works across all devices, looks professional, can be secured, is print-ready, and serves as the official version for submissions or approvals.
