The Designer as Producer

As a graphic designer, we have learned how to design an artwork from scratch, and how to produce it in order to get a better chance in the future. It is very important to be a designer and producer at the same time. Some designer doesn’t like to be also a producer because they think they only design and keep the producing process for the one who can do it.

What I think is that in our classes like packaging class, we learned how to create and invent package from scratch (the logo, the layout of the package, information in the package, give away and even create attractive barcode) which make us have a good experience in the future when we are going to get a job.

In conclusion, we can get a better chance in working if we are a designer and producer. 

I Love NY More Than Ever

It was such an interesting topic to talk about. I love New Yurok logo is very famous logo and people all around the word start to de their logos based on it because it the most grape attention logo in the world and it has meaning behind it.

The most important point that makes me think a lot is “ is it legally to take other’s work and try to change it according to the situation of the country?” From my point a view, it is not legally to do it because it considered plagiarism as we taught in school. The reason why it is not legal to do it is because if we have a famous and successful logo that we can not forget because of its strong concept and then suddenly it change according to specific event maybe we going to forget the main logo and new one will stick more in our mind which is going to effect the logo concept itself.

For example, Jeddah logo for summer festival had been change to Jeddah sunk after the flood happened. From my point of view, this change make people around the world who come every year to Jeddah for people feel fear and don’t want to come again because they think it could happen again. So that change make negative effect on people’s mind specially who used to visit Jeddah every summer.

In conclusion, changing the artwork and design of other people could lead to have negative point view and especially if this change is for bad events and disasters.
