This is the photograph that I mentioned in my postcard thumbnails.  Lauren Krug Photos is the company that the logo is being created for. Landscape photography is the primary focus; however, portraits are beginning to be taken as well. Also, the use of these logos would be huge in promoting the company as a whole, especially for an unknown local photographer. This can help get the photographer "out there." In order to represent the company three different designs involving a camera were used. The first design was very simplistic and more abstract than the rest. While the second two logo designs are very simplistic, but they clearly demonstrated what the company is.  The target audience would roughly be people around the ages of 20 to 40 years old. It would be beneficial to attract this age range as it would be vital for the portrait photography. Through this age range you could attract parents who want portraits done of their children or have family portraits done. Also, this...

Gun Control:      Gun control is the set of laws or policies that regulate the manufacture, sale, transfer, possession, modification, or use of firearms by civilians.* There is solid evidence that gun violence is a very prominent issue in America, and we need more laws to help limit this problem. Already, by September 30th, there have been 486 mass shootings (incidents where 4 or more people are shot in one location at the same time) in the United States.** Even recently there was a shooting in Lockport where a college student was murdered. She had a long life ahead of her, but her life was taken too soon. There have been children that were murdered at the hands of someone who should not possess a gun. Whether they got took it from a family member, or they got it illegally. However, America needs to find a better way to protect their people from this horrific problem. There needs to be stronger gun control in order to protect the lives of the children in America.  ...

  The first thumbnail is relatively basic. It contains with name centered at the top with the contact information to the left below the line that divides the information. This design uses lines to divide each section from each other. The second thumbnail is basic as well. All of the information is on the left of this design though. Also, this design uses lines to divide the sections. The third thumbnail contains name and contact information centered at the top of the page. Then, the headings of each section are in boxes with the information to the right. The fourth thumbnail contains the name to the left with the contact information on the right. The page is then divided, and the information is provided on each side. The fifth is similar to the fourth, but the name and contact information is in the center and there is a box containing initials in it above the name. The sixth contains the name centered again. The information is then divided into sections and are separated by lines. ...

   There are multiple different forms of communication. However, when you ask most people what they think of when they hear "communication" they instantly say "talking" (verbal communication). Even though this is the most prominent form that people think of, visual communication is arguably the most important and memorable.      When using visual communication, effectively, you can grab the audience's attention and impact their opinions and beliefs. You can use pictures, videos, paintings, drawings, and many other mediums in order to communicate with your audience. Also, this allows you to use creative freedom to interact with others. Even though all forms of communication allow you to be creative, visual communication allows the most creative freedom, especially through the use of symbols.      The necessary tool for visual communication is the usage of symbols. Symbols can strongly help you create a brand for a product, band, company, etc. You c...
