Assignment 6: Design Analysis

In this pair-work assignment, Sheryl and I choose “Fast Talk chatline” (courtesy of 8Days Magazine) and “A Few Good Men” (courtesy of www.allposters.com) for our bad and good design analysis respectively.

We sourced for our research on the Internet for movie poster as well as magazine for advertisement. Finding good design was not as difficult compared to a bad design and the reason probably lay in our source. As we are researching on art work done by professional, we found that it may not be smoothing when we zoom into specific area of a design; overall, it would all still look pleasing. We realized that art work is very subjective; the meaning of a good or bad poster would be defined differently by different target group.

As the phrase goes, Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
