Research and Working EQ

1. What aspect of graphic design is most important in impacting the audience?

2. Two possible answers to this working EQ are:

• Typography is the most important as readability is necessary or else a misunderstanding can come across and void your entire design.
• Visuals are the most important aspect of graphic design since they are what the eyes are drawn to. If the type is legible but there are no visuals or they are not pleasing, no one will even give your design more than a quick glance.

3. A book that I have not cited yet has helped me in understanding design a bit more. It is titled Design Elements, Typography Fundamentals: A Graphic Style Manual for Understand How Typography Affects Design. It has taught me how important Typography is which is why it is one of my possible answers for my EQ.

4. My first mentor is Mimi Orth and my second mentor is Ron Martinez. With Mimi, we are working with the yearbook to see what we could improve on our design, see what works, what doesn't and how every aspect of the spread just works in unison. With Ron, I have showed him some of my designs which he has critiqued and help me improve them.
