Reflection to Good Design Project

This project taught me how to organize my thoughts and ideas. Without being able to use words I was forced to become creative and come up with a way to show my idea of how this backpack was a good design through visual communication. Before this assignment I had never used InDesign, Photoshop, or Illustrator. This was tough but a good way to learn the basics of these programs. My poster demonstrates good design because it is very organized, it’s simple, and it has hierarchy. The bubbles are a zoomed in view of the features that make the backpack a good design. The multiple views of the backpack are good design because it shows different perspectives of the object of good design. The backpack views are in a larger scale than the features because it is the main focus of what the good design is. My poster demonstrates good color usage because it follows the color unit strategy use of neutrals. I tried to keep my poster straight to the point by using colors that weren’t distracting to the viewer. My idea about design did change because it’s not only about how the object has good design but it’s about how you design your poster as well.
