Weekly Article 17 (Magazine)

On page 56 of the great design magazine idpure, there is an article which is talking about EBOY company.We all know EBOY; they are making this cool designs of different kind of staff. Sometimes it is cars and sometimes it is just usual home products. But that it isn't why this company is special. EBOY has this very special design for its products. It is working with pixels and basically making all its designs with squares in different colors that are attached together. They are making fabulous stuff, and sometimes you can't even guess it is made of squares and a lot of cubes. This is a very unique style of design; and may try to use it sometimes, maybe when I will do my website I will some icons in this style.

Rationale for my Ad

This poster for MTV switch is an advertisement for MTV switch that tries to show us that what we do to nature is bad. This poster includes the slogan of MTV switch which is “Time’s up”. This poster can be used on a billboard or a magazine. In this poster all the principles of design are applied such as proximity and contrast. There is a really good contrast from dark to light; even though the dark should have been on the left because we read from left to right, I put it from right to left because I wanted to attract the eye towards the logo and the dark part is more attracting than the light part. Other design technique that I have used is alignment; I put the “Time’s up” slogan so it will be aligned to tree’s horizon. The girl’s sad face is in a really good point in the poster so you can’t miss it. The girl’s face shows the sadness that she sees in nature. In case you would like to use this poster in a billboard you will just need to get rid of the text and then it will be a really good as an advertisement. The tree which is all alone is a good representation for nature.

Letter Head

My letter Head is more kind of formal. It has all the elements that are needed in a formal letter. I tried to make it as easy as possible so it will be easy to read.

Poster for Mtv SWITCH

The first one is the basic idea. The second one is my poster. It fits both magazine and billboard. In a billboard you will just get rid of the text.

Logos for MTV switch

I got two versions. One for dark background and one for light.
