Self Promo

Pinterest is a social network where ideas are shared with the public. There are a variety of ideas within the service many pick from, depending on their search that could include home decor, recipes, graphic designs, resume ideas, and many more. This service is a great way to spread your own ideas and build a portfolio for yourself using different images and uploading to the social network. By creating your own material, you will begin to construct a platform for yourself where others will see you grow as work or ideas are being posted. While there are other platforms for creators to use, Pinterest is just as good as the others and I find this a great way to share your work and allow others to pin/save your work that they are interested in. I could scroll through Pinterest for hours if I wanted to, and pinpoint the different ideas for a project, ideas for a graphic design, or even how to cook a certain recipe.

Identity Systems – YETI

https://www.yeti.com/en_US/accessories

Yeti is an American company known for their products that include drinkware, coolers, bags, gear, apparel and much more. The YETI was founded in 2006 with their headquarters is located in Austin,TX.

What I enjoy about this company is the creativity behind some of their designs and colors chosen for their products. In the image above, people can see the idea of having a bronze-like secondary color with the a design of the American worked in with the YETI logo. YETI does a great job of keeping the company logo focused around the environment, hunting, wildlife, and nature as a whole. I like how simple the brand name is with a variety of colors for the product itself, while creating different designs that work into the brand name. A few examples of this are below:

SOUNDCLOUD LOGO

Soundcloud is a online platform where the public is allowed to upload, share, and stream music. This platform is where artist can begin their careers by promoting their own music to others, creating an audience for themselves. Many well-known artist have had successful careers by being discovered within this platform. The Soundcloud logo can be seen as a cloud at first with what seems to mimic audio equalizer lines as it is a platform for music, as mentioned before. The creators of the logo were both Alexander Ljung and Eric Wahlforss, in 2007.

NATURAL BEAUTY

Many readers will look at a photo first as it can be eye catching to the reader like this first spread from national geographic. For many National Geographic readers, they are interested in the natural beauty that is our world. The spread above as you can see shows lava overflowing and spilling over the edge. What is amazing about photos like this one, it is considered a dangerous task as you travel to these locations to capture the best photo to share with others who do not have that experience of seeing it in person. Although the photo is fascinating, a text must include facts about this location and what it took to travel there. The writers did a good job with the title of the spread, along with the location, and dates included in the text. They also changed the boldness, color, and font of certain words or letters within the text.

National Geographic has been a company that is well known for their journeys to places that are hard to reach for the normal photographer or human. Their journeys take days, weeks, or years to prepare and accomplish. NAT GEO is known for their front cover which includes their yellow outline around the page as it is a color that stands out when looking through magazines. Next they have their name in the cover with an incredible image of either nature, people, or certain locations.

I really enjoy looking at natural magazines like National Geographic as I have an interest in traveling to a few national parks after I graduate. They do an amazing job at keeping the reader interested and engaged in their spreads as they are images that are taken in real locations, with a camera, and at times in terrible conditions.
