The Graphic Design Process

I learned from class that the design processes are really important when we are trying to design something, so I would like to introduce the graphic design process.

Step 1. Gathering information.
          - In order to design something, we need some information to start with.

Step 2. Write out proposals.
           - Basically plan it, what you going to design.

Step 3. Brainstorming.
            - Similar to writing a paper, it is preparing what to design, like sketching out what you imagine.

Step 4. Experimenting.
           - Get some experiments from different things like try different things to get some more ideas.

Step 5. Revision.
            - This is the most important step and it is also the last step. Literately revision your design to be better, and make the main focus clear.

Reading Respond

In our daily life, we could easily find a bunch of different things that is related in to art in general. Especially those objects are really close to graphic design. There is a reading assignment that we had in class which talked about the stop sign. Simply, I loved the reading, it inspires me to design something that is similar to what the reading had, and it made me think about some other designs while I read the article. Anyway, the stop sign, the most practical obvious object that everyone can understand. Its design is simply a red octagon shaped sign with a word, stop. Usually, red represents something important or stop. Because of that kind of symbol, people does not need to take time to figure out what the sign means, because they can feel by color, object, and even the meaning of the word itself. From the reading, I learned how the symbol was important, again.

Green Design

Green design, also known as eco-design, environmental design, environmentally conscious design. The entire life cycle of the product on the products' environmental attributes (disassembly, recyclability, maintainability, reusability, etc.) as a design goal, at the same time to meet the environmental objectives and requirements to ensure that the products should the function, life, and quality requirements.
