Branding Campaign



Branding Campaign is a way for marketers to get the community to buy their product. Marketers will use cute and funny pictures on their campaigns, so when people enter a store they will remember that product. Sometimes the marketers will use songs in their campaigns, if there on the television. For example at the top, the 3 Musketeers candy bar company has three guys on their campaign.

Public Service Campaign





Public Service Campaign is to inform the communities about things that maybe happening. These campaigns are to try to prevent it in the future. The topics could be political viewpoint, philosophical theory, religious concept or humanitarian notion. The campaigns are usually broadcast on a radio or television, it could also be in newspapers. The funds for these campaigns are often sponsored by trade associations, civic organizations, non-profit institutions or religious groups. In my example up top, the National Drug Councils made this Public Service Campaign against drug use. They had stated on the photo that drugs hurt everyone and not just the drug user.

Abstract Graphs

The purpose of abstract graphs is to project in the mind an image that supports imagination. These graphs are simple mental diagrams. However boundaries between graphs and maps are blurring and it’s sometimes difficult to tell the difference.

Comic Lettering

Comic book lettering has some grammatical and aesthetic traditions that are unique. What follows is a list that every letterer eventually commits to his/her own mental reference file. The majority of these points are established tradition, sprinkled with modern trends and a bit of my own opinion having lettered professionally for a few years now. The majority of these ideas have been established by Marvel and DC, but opinions vary from editor to editor, even within the same company.

Graphs are abstract; they do not pretend to be a realistic picture. The purpose of abstract graphs is to project in the mind an image that supports imagination. These graphs are simple mental diagrams. However boundaries between graphs and maps are blurring and it’s sometimes difficult to tell the difference.

Perfect Rectangle


Perfect Rectangles

Also known as the “golden rectangle” which is what most graphic artist use the "perfect formula" to use in-order to help them achieve the perfect rectangle that would for many projects. The reason being that many standard page size, which many find limits their design.  Despite that, many poster or book covers are squatter than the “Perfect Rectangle” which has a 1:4 ratio instead of the ideal 1:6 ratio. 

This is the formula that is often used to create the perfect rectangle

"Good Design"

There can be no such thing as good design. Everybody has there on taste. There is no one person who decides whether your art or quality in work is "good design".



Some people may look at this photo and see that its just a broken up circle. But other may think it has special meaning because it shows a disaster occurred hidden behind the circles. So to somebody this means something.




This can also represent Good Design based on how you look or think about it.

photomantage riddles and rebuses

Photomantage is the process and result of cutting photos up and then placing them all together to create a bigger picture.This technique is called composying by professionals. I feel that this is a really hard skill even though it looks pretty easy.
A riddle is a statement phrase or a question that has a double meaning which makes a it a puzzle to be solved. There are two types of ways to express riddles which are metaphorical and allegorical. this will require careful thinking to get the answer. I believe that riddles help you think in odd ways which could make other things easier to answer.


A rebus is an allusional device that uses pictures to represent words or parts of words.
I find rebuses to be useful to people who can learn words as easy as others
