The Minimalism Problem

            So minimalism can really be a double edged sword. On one hand, it makes logos easier to make and print out to consumers all over. On the other hand, it can make a logo boring, cause someone to ignore it completely, and strip a famous logo of their identity. For example, the third logo above is the new FireFox logo, and yet that looks nothing like a fox, just fire. The BMW logo above also has lost a bit of added intensity now that the logo looks more flat.

         Another problem with minimalism is that really it feels lazy. I honestly can not say if I feel much time was spent redesigning these logos, and instead the teams just did what corporate told them to do. Keep in mind, while they may not be the most advanced logos, they look to be easier to have on a business card, and probably require less resources to make.

         Now what does this mean for me, and graphic design in the future? Well, it might show a future where everything is clean, sterilized, and no creativity really shows. On the other hand, if enough people feel it, we will get new designs that are exciting to look at, and force companies to change their methods. Only time will tell what happens. So once again, thank you for reading! I hope you enjoyed this article, comment below what I could change, and stay tuned!

Finished With Keiser

           At long last, I can finally say I have completed my time at Keiser University. It has been a ride really, getting to learn new things, having to complete assignments in time, and just getting to know the teachers and staff. I have now had an experience that I can not replace, and I hope that by graduating from here, I will be able to move on to bigger and better things.

                What else does this mean for me now? Well, I'll have more time and freedom to find and work on graphic design jobs. I did promise myself that I would get something like that this year. There is also the fact I have new honors to put on my resume, and that I should hopefully go back to a standard blogging schedule. I know that recently I have not really been the most attentive here.

                 I know I should not make too many promises. There is so still an ever lingering doubt in me saying I am too lazy to continue this, or that I am not good enough. It is hard not to listen to that voice sometimes but..... Hey, I am sure I can figure this out better along the way. I will admit I am not the best, but I can be of you need me to be.

                  With that said however, thank you once again for reading. Make sure to comment below what you think I could change, what I could start doing, or if you just want to talk. I am always eager to here from you guys. Other this, I hope you guys enjoyed reading, and ask that you stay tuned.
