I feel like no one nowadays takes pride in what they do for a living. When you're designing something, you have to make it look appealing. Not just to you either. Think of what would be appealing to everyone, so they would see it. In the article about the driving signs in London, I feel like no one cared about how they looked or how they would interpret the sign. Which is bad. No one thought that if they didn't make the signs as clear as possible, that people would misinterpret the signs. I really think they didn't need to drastically change the original driving signs in London, as they did. As the saying goes, "If it ain't broke, don't fix it"they should've just left the old signs, and reused them.
Homework #5
After reading the interview with movie poster creator Dustin Stanton, it really made me realize how important and crucial it is to make a movie poster/teaser. You want to make sure the viewers view your movie poster the same way you do. Obviously you want to make sure that the movie poster makes sense with what the movie is about. I feel like this is one of those things where asking yourself: "Is this good enough?" could be good, and bad. It would be good, by everyone agreeing that the movie poster is perfect, and doesn't need anything else. It would be bad, by making you think about what more you could've put on the movie poster, and if it is really done. Me being a HUGE video game nerd, could easily relate while reading this interview. Well, not me personally. But it made me think of cover arts for video games. Boy, has that changed a LOT over the years. Think about it, a movie could do good or bad depending on the poster for it. A video game could sell good or bad...
