Logos post

I like the balance of red and yellow, two colors that are powerful and attract attention. I also like how the logo has the same shape on the top and bottom with a crest like shape in the middle with further illustrations. The finishings on the end on the top and bottom make it  more distinct and the balls on the sides complete it.

I like how the next five are directly staring at the viewer and have a clear focal point. They have one background color that adds to the message being delivered.
I

1. I believe that my stance is clear with my poster because it contains a few of Donald Trump's outrageous and controversial comments that a Trump supporter would definitely not include. It also uses the American flag as it's background/platform and the traditional red and white stripes, along with the black font helps the words stand out, and attract the readers attention. With Trump himself replacing the stars in the corner with a black background with a mysterious look on his face.

     2. I do not feel that I was completely successful in recreating my poster idea digitally. The       

original thumb nails and drafts had a clear focal point while the digital version has three elements competing for the immediate attention. The red and white stripes, the words, and the image of Trump.

     3 . Aside from the switch to no dominant focal point in favor of a combination of focal points, i also use fewer colors in the final digital version. Red, white, and black, are all very powerful colors and are the only ones present. These three colors alone deliver a more stern and direct message, with clear understanding of what they represent. 

    4. My poster is strongest in the concept category as it's obvious what my stance on Donald Trump is. My American flag being taken over by Trump, who is shown in a dark, sus, and  intimidating image. My weakest area is skill and technique because I do have a few rough edges and some lines could be executed more smoothly. 

5. The most challenging part concept wise how to separate this poster from other Trump posters, and to have Donald Trump literally taking over the American flag says a lot about what kind of President he would be.

6. Technically the most difficult part was adding the sentences to the stripes because some are longer then others. I also had to make a balance between the red and white.

Whats your stance Assignment: Syrian Refugee Crisis

Since 2011, over 11 million Syrians have been killed or forced to flee their country. Over 165,000 refugees have fled to Germany and Sweden alone with thousands more daily. The countries surrounding Syria are overwhelmed and their resources have been exhausted. European countries besides Germany and Sweden must to better in offering asylum, it isn't fair for two countries to take in the vast majority of refugees in the continent. I was in Sweden this past summer and was able to speak to a few refugees as they shared with me some of their personal experiences with me, and made it clear that other countries should do more. "There could be 800,000 applications for asylum in Germany this year, and the country could take 500,000 refugees annually for several years, Vice Chancellor Sigmar Gabriel has said." Sweden joins Germany in demonstrating a high standard of responsibility in the refugee crisis, and Swedish Prime Minister Stefan Lofven joined Merkel at a press conference this week in urging a Europe-wide solution for hosting refugees." -CNN
