1.1 Project Introduction
About the Project Book
In the graduate media design studies, the assignment is to design a campaign, which is design
solution for the project book. This book reviews all of the steps of the way this design solution is
put together in solid professional design comps or pieces. The final design solution is applied on
different formats, presentations, and applications that fit with the theme of the assignment. This
book is also design for client or audience in working in a design firms, companies, or non-design
firms or companies who needs an assignment done.
This project was based on designing a campaign project on “Artomatic”. The mission is design
affordable price or free admission events for the target audience, low and middle class families.
This project is applied to this project book in full details on the usage of the design solution. This
helps to gain understanding that project book is not just based on the campaign, but the design
process on how the campaign or design solution has been resolved. Now, let’s begin with the
first section, where it discuss important information about the beginning process of this design
solution. Since this is the first time designing a project book, there are lots of areas about the
media design studies that designers may not be aware of or do not know what is a project book.
Now, let’s begin with the first section, where it discuss important information about the beginning
process of this design solution. The next section is to present the creative development in creat-
ing sketches, comps, collage designs, iterative designs, final comps, and storyboards. The third
section is the style guide. It explains the design process of how the brand logo is put together.
The fourth section is to final presentation of the design solution applied on different applications.
The last section is the project book summary about the overall project book and other information
relating to this project book creation.

1.4 Research Methods
Choosing Appropriate Research Methods
For this assignment, for Media Design studies, the research strategies include creative written ideas,
online, journals, articles, books, newspapers and other resources that are useful for this project
book assignment. Research methods were excellent choices during this design solution are primary,
secondary, qualitative, quantitative, visualization, graphic organizers, iterative designs, market, and
artistic research. The listed researches are provided in definition of each and have examples in-
cluded.
• Primary Research focuses on collection of data that is not present. A good example is the ob-
servation of the participation of the Artomatic events.
• Secondary Research focuses on information gathered by other people from the primary re-
search. Tertiary research is when using other’s secondary, which is a bad idea that must be avoid
in project process. For this project, the purpose of the research is to expand it on subjects and
experiments. This is also to get an understanding of experimentation of people’s experience in
attending inexpensive or free admission events.
• Qualitative Research has to deal with different academic disciplines, social sciences, but mar-
ket. The purpose of this research is to get a full understanding about human behavior like under-
standing people’s testimonials on attending free admission or affordable price events.
• Quantitative Research deals with the measurement of qualitative relationships. The purpose
of this research is to determine the amount of attendance, total cost of events, and pricing with
number of attendance.
• Visualization includes brainstorming creative thoughts, techniques, sketches, comps, and pre-
sentation. The purpose of this research is to creative thinking about decision-making about re-
solving the solution to the problem of this project.
• Graphic organizer includes concept maps, mind maps, diagrams, and visual tools of ideas and
thoughts. For this project, graphic organizers are one of the type of brainstorming that was use
during the designing process of this design solution. The concept mapping is the main graphic
organizer that was used for creative thinking and ideas of the design project.
• Iterative Design is the design methodology in the process in prototyping, testing, analyzing and
refining a product or process. This research was used during the Organizational Structure course
when 10 different iterative design required for the campaign assignment, but it was narrow down
to 6 iterative designs that was the final design solution. The first set was in collage comps cre-
ated by hand (non-computer based). Computer created the last set.
• Market Research involves arranging information about markets or customers. This research is
very important for business strategy. The focus of this research for this project is to analyzing
customers’ demographics and develops a marketing plan. This also includes pricing and non-
pricing events and supplies.
• Artistic Research involves scientific research and artistic creation. It is also have to deal with
history of art; aesthetics, and semiotics, normative research involves two varieties like general
levels and artistic development. Informative research involves accepting the state of things. The
focus of this research for this project is use complex creative and critical thinking in resolving the
design solution. A good example is this campaign design, which is the design solution of this
project book. This campaign is a happy occasion. The typography was created in informal texts
and fonts that expresses happy occasion, fun, unique and playfulness. Colors are playing a role
of expressing this expression in bright and bold colors.
• Competitive Research is defining, analyzing, and disturbing intelligence, on products, custom-
ers, competition, support of the environment who supports executives and managers in decision
making of organization. A good example that if researching other companies that has events
costing over $10.00 can cause lack of interest and attendance of participation. More details
about this research method on the Section 1.5 about Competitive Research.

1.5 Design Research and Studies
Research Questions and Answers
• What industry did you select from the attached list of growth industries?
The industry I am interested in is business services. Because I am so creative, I want to focus on
graphic design and community art services type of business services. While studying graduate
school, I want to gain as much as work experience to prepare for future business opportunity
and understand the key points on best ways to handle business services.
• Within that industry, what company will you be focusing on for your MDMFA Project? I will
focus on the Graphic Essentials, LLC, but due to lack of information, it is change to “Artomatic”.
I plan to learn more about this company to determine the expectations between the company
and me to have a balance what is required. Their website is the only one from my analyzed per-
spective research stood out the most the others that I reviewed.
• Who are the key competitors of the company, or its products/services, that you have
chosen to focus on? This company does not have any key competitors. The do provide three
types of design services, such as print, web, and package design. The service that I am more
interested in is the print is because this the types of graphic design project that I plan to create
in this company or other companies. I will design print design like publications, such as maga-
zines, books, posters, package designs, illustrations, brochures, and advertisements.
• Are the company, or products/services, delivering a compelling and effective message to
its consumers? If you review the company’s website, on the portfolio page, they are sending
a message for the audiences, designers, and clients to learn about design. Most of their works
advertise topics, subjects, movies, and other concepts.
• When the final design project is presented to the company (a potential employer) will they
value it? The way Artomatic present their events for different types of art is I really see in gradu-
ate studies in art programs. The design pieces are professionally presented in different matte
background. I believe this company will review very high rates and reviews about their profes-
sional graphic design portfolio.
• Answer the question on a personal level, “What is my passion about what I have chosen?”
All designers style of design is different, but I like all of my designs to creative, professional,
present excellent presentation, excellent production, skills, being serious about succeeding in
my designs, provide solutions, do tons of researches and brainstorming ideas, and developed
professional comps that would be what clients and the company is looking for. Once I stick to
my designing process plan for working for companies, it will help the design to be successful in
able to satisfy clients. As a designer, I want to learn much as I can about this company and pres
ent professional work.
Client and Business Research
As a designer for any of these companies, I would have to create a business plan in able to ac-
complished success in these businesses. When it comes to marketing approach to gain clients,
businesses should advertise their business online, career fairs, and in public. The advertisements
are one of the best ideas for gaining clients. Marketing Strategy is another approach for business.
I chose the Broadshot because I feel it is the best choice for common interests like graphic design
or dance. My style is unique, keeping design simple and clean, very-detail oriented in design, very
creative, and flexible on critiques on project presentations. I am serious about meeting deadlines,
planning ahead on the design process, and design projects that I am interested and not interested
in designing. As a designer, I would prefer if all clients meet with me to discuss the expectations
on the project. I have learned that providing a contract for them to sign keeps a positive direction
in the design request. Clients should pay half of the payment in front and the rest of the payment
the day of the project is completed. The reason why I suggested that is because so designers can
prevent from getting ripped-off and avoid scams. Contracts or agreement forms are also the best
way to avoid scams and rip-offs.

1.5 Design Research and Studies
Design Society Research
Did You Know That Design Industry or Industry Design is another name for design society?
I took a course relating to the topic that I am doing my research paper on called “History of Mod-
ern Design”. This is an art history course that discusses modern design, graphic design, media
design, industrial design, illustrations, and other types of arts.
Now designers are using laptops to design and production of the design society. Printers have
also changed because now printers are laser, which gives a better quality print than inkjet. Ad-
vertisements and other works are also on online and flash presentations or interactive design
presentations. If you check the Design Industry website. This site has all kinds of graphic design
works that they. This business focused on unique and powerful design. They design for business
in the worldwide community. Overall, design society involved a lot of things in design business
and concepts based on style, color use, concepts and themes, and other important information
on design society.
“Design “reform” aimed to se standards for taste in the public interest and was part of a
broad response to industrial and commercial expansion towards the middle of the nine-
teenth century”. (Raizman, 45)
What is interest is that I was not aware that modern art and modern design has advertisements
that provide me ideas of design projects. This was a good class take to learn more about design
society. It also introduces to artists who created these designs. More of them were advertis-
ing a communication or sending a message to what the artist is trying to tell us the meaning of
creating this interest piece. If you take modern design, it is similar to this art history, but a little
different. Both courses cover advertisements like pop art for example. They also explain how the
design society changes as well. Honestly, advertisements are one of type of publications that I
want to focus in graphic design studies.
Best states “2006 the Brussels-based Designing Hub is set up to and to improved the busi-
ness profile of the design industry and to increase the demand for design services”

1.5 Design Research and Studies
How Do We Define Color Theory?
Color theory is a human construct. It is also means what it means by color, how colors can be
ordered. It is related to each other, and adjusted to become new colors. Color is a reception, a
response of the brain to data received by visual systems.
“Why study color theory?
If you are involved in the creation or design of visual documents, an understanding of color
will help when incorporating it into your own designs. Choices regarding color often seem
rather mystical, as many seem to base decisions on nothing other than “it looks right.” Al-
though often told I had an eye for color, the reason why some colors worked together while
others did not always intrigued me and I found the study of color theory fascinating.
While attending the University of Minnesota I enrolled in almost every course I could from dif-
ferent departments: graphic design, interior design, and fine arts. During my studies, I learned
that there were 2 main reasons why scholars investigated color—the first involved the com-
munication of colors; the other involved the application of color.
Communicating Color
What is red? Candy apple red, blood red, catsup red, rose red... to try and communicate a
specific hue is difficult without some sort of coding system. Early in the 1900’s, Albert Mun-
sell, a professor at an art school in Boston developed a color system which offered a means
to name colors. With a published system, people could be specific about which red they were
referring. Munsell’s system has been reworked for today’s use with the Pantone color system,
TRUEMATCH, CIE systems and others.”
Color Application
With respect to the arts, color was part of the realistic, visual representation of form, but one
group of painters abandoned the traditional practices regarding color in painting. Cezanne,
Van Gogh, and Gauguin influenced this group of artists. Led by Henri Matisse, they were
known as the Fauves, or “the wild beasts.” Their exuberant use of brilliant hues seems to dis-
regard imitative color.
Whereas other artists had used color as the description of an object, the Fauves let color
become the subject of their painting. A painting in the “Fauvist Manner” was one that related
color shapes; rather than unifying a design with line, compositions sought expressiveness
within the relationships of the whole.
The next several pages of this site offer a tutorial regarding color theory. After reviewing the
information, I hope you will see that the successful use of color is not at all mystical, and that
by understanding a few things about color, it is possible to incorporate into your designs with
a confidence based on tested concepts and methods.

How color theory is defined ?
The section is based on color harmonies, primary colors, secondary, tertiary colors, neutral, and
complementary colors. Then, there are color modes that are used for either for print, web, or
regular designing. Designers must understand the complexity of this part of color theory before
choosing best colors for any designs.
Color Harmonies: The Basic Techniques for Creating color scheme
Warm Colors Cool Colors
Primary Colors: Colors that cannot be mixed by any colors.
Yellow, Red, and Blue
Secondary Colors: Colors that are mixed with two primary colors.
Purple, Green, and Orange
Tertiary Colors: Colors that are mixed with primary and secondary colors.
Yellow-Orange, Yellow-Green, Blue-Green, Blue-Violet, and Red-Violet
Netural Colors: They are not presented in the color wheel, use to add tints, tones,
and shades. No colors cannot make white and black, but can they make brown and gray.

Color modes are types of set of colors used for display print images. The common models are
HSB (hue, saturation, and brightness) CIE L*a*b*. The types of color modes are CMYK, RGB,
CIE L*a*b*, Lab, Bitmap, Gray-scale, Duotone, Multichannel, and Indexed color mode. For this
design project, the color modes that are used for this project are CMYK and RGB color mode
because one part of the project is web and CMYK is use for the print part of this design.

Samples of Images and Illustrations
Image is another name or word for photographs or illustrations. Image can be anything, such
as a human figure, icon, logo design, brand, photographs, or illustrations. Not all designs have
images like typographic works. Some typographic works do have images, but most of the time
it is focus on typefaces, fonts, and texts in creativity design forms. The question is “Why Are
Images Are Important in Design? The reason why images are important because they can pro-
vide easier to add benefits in what the design is all about. Based on the research, it is hard to
get illustrations and photographs in an excellent quality of 300 dpi or resolution. Plus, it is also
difficult to use or select images when designing a project. For the campaign assignment, it is
advise to stick with photographs and illustrations that relates to the theme and assignment. The
best images to use are copyright free ones to avoid getting into trouble on using someone else’s
images. It is also advise to make sure images are in 300 resolution in excellent quality.
These sample images are photographs and illustrations help to understand the important and
research of using images in design projects. Mood-boards contained mainly images, but less
typography or words.

It helps to tons of research and exploration in able to build a successful interactive design, which
I think it will work. Everything I make adjustments of any projects that I design, it gets better until
it is perfect and professional. Without these choices, it is impossible to achieve the goals of the
interactive project. I plan to continue with the organizational structure of this project so it can
be the way I plan it to be at the end of the study of this degree program. Overall, the interactive
project is so much better than the first idea because it is a lot cleaner and easy to recognized. I
will make adjustments on spacing of the layout. The next thing I would like to achieved it is to put
this design into a website online.

Competitive Research involves research tools that others resources that most people do not
use, determine offer a product or service that other companies do not have based on a certain
company. It also had to deal with comparison between other companies and organization or de-
signs. For the campaign project, most organizations offer expensive events, except “Artomatic”,
where they offer free events. This section includes goals, resource tools, and SWOT analysis.
Goals and Objectives of Competitive Research is:
1. Research other organizations that have different or similar services.
2. Determine the plans and goals of completing the project.
3. Provide elements, resource tools, and SWOT analysis to help build the project.
Resource Tools
1. Books related or help with the research development.
2. Online websites, journals, or articles
3. Newspapers
4. Videos or DVDs
SWOT analysis is also very helpful for competitive research. The reason is because as a
designer, you can get an idea what other companies or organizations has the elements of
the SWOT analysis.

1.6 Research Paper
Abstract
The U.S. economy in the last few years has caused several problems for many
Americans. Companies are going out of business and the unemployment rate is higher than
it has been in decades. Families are having a hard time staying afloat and making the money
needed to pay their bills, mortgages and other living expenses. These are just a few of the
reasons why families have been forced to cut back on their spending. President Obama and
his staff have been working hard to help resolve the current economic condition. They have
made some improvements, but they still have a long way to go. There are non-profit organi-
zations that are helping individuals that find for themselves experiencing financial hardship.
Leonhardt claims, “The economy in 1982 was worst than it is now, and of course the Great De-
pression in the 1929 and 1930’s was worst of all” (The New York Times, http://www.nytimes.
com/2009/01/21/business/economy/21leonhardt.html/)
Despite the fact that many families have cut back on spending they do not want to cut back
on the activities they enjoy. This is why community activities are important. Most commu-
nity-based activities are more affordable than business-based activities. This may be why
community-based activities are becoming more popular and are gaining better attendance
in comparison to business-based activities. Lake mentions, “You can promote activities to
participate in no matter what the budget is today. The best way to find these activities is to
identify companies that serve the same target market as you and then research where they’re
operating events” (57). This statement means that people’s financial status does not prevent
families from attending affordable activities or free admission events.
Artomatic is an example of an organization that has different activities and events for the
community. Admission is free to the public and it has been active since 1999. At an Artomatic
festival you will find artwork from local artists, multimedia arts, musical bands and spoken
word presentation are conducted on different floors. This is just one of several non-profit or-
ganizations that provide low cost events. Until there is a major improvement in our Nation’s
economic conditions everyone will continue to seek out inexpensive events and outings. The
campaign is about promoting attendance at events that are free or low cost. Shim and Siegel
claims “Flexibility and innovation is needed and is important because it helps towards the un-
expected contingencies” (3). The change in the economy was unexpected and most people
were unprepared. This experience should teach people the importance of being organized
and to plan for the future. Non-profit organizations have the ability to be more flexible when it
comes to prices for events. Any organization must consider the cost when brainstorming and
designing an event or project. Artomatic is the company that will be use as a reference and an
example for this project.
How can we define Artomatic? Artomatic is a non-profit organization operated by a Board of
Directors. The Boards of Directors are volunteers from the D.C. Commission on the Arts and
Humanities. Aromatic is located in a building that has nine floors, each containing these fol-
lowing events: Visual and Installation Art, Theatre Performances, Dance, Comedy, three Music
stages, Street performances such as Fire dancing, Drum Troupes and a Film Screening the-
atre. They also have workshops and seminars that continue for several months. Other events
are five weeks long. Their events are listed in Washington Post each year. Artomatic has been
active since 1999. They are located at 55 M Street in Washington, D.C., near the Navy Yard
Metro Station. Their events are five-week events include different types of multimedia arts.

1.6 Research Paper
Summary
In conclusion, this research paper focuses on the issue of the determination of people’s de-
sire to participating in affordable community events and during bad economic conditions. By
studying this issue, it is suggested to provide the right solutions to address this problem in
the future. Part of this project is researching competition for attendance and price acceptance
for art activities and events. The reason for resolving this problem is to cope with decreas-
ing cause of opportunities for people to attend community activities. Another reason is find
strategies to increase sales, maintain affordable price or free admission for all families in the
community. The third reason is to increase attendance for community art events. The fourth
reason for resolving this problem is to compensate for bad economic conditions and reasons
for their negative impact on the community as a whole.
This learning experience also disclosed how families in the future should have a plan, to deal
with bad economic conditions. When the bad economic conditions improve, the prices of
event should gradually increase in the future years. Also, there will be more community activi-
ties and more job opportunities for families to have more entertainment resources. In general,
no one should be in this situation. No matter what the status of the economy is today, families
should still be able to attend community art activities and events.

ment, but not as brand logo.

3.5 Brand Logo Typography Production
Logo Texts
Now, that the design solution logo is finalized, then it is time to add the typography to the
logo design here.
This is the type layout presentation for ideas on how this design solution was organized in one
campaign design. The focuses is one size, color, texts, typography, font families, mood, and
reasons for focusing on a specific type layout that matches the best design solution for this
project book.
The typography arrangements of this interactive project will be formatted in phrases, sen-
tences, statements, titles and paragraphs. The texts will also be organized in a justified and
right justified alignment. The texts will be in warm, bright and bold colors including red, pink,
purple, orange, yellow. The other colors use the texts are black, white, and grey. I will use type-
faces like Helvetica, Market Felt, Times New Roman and Century Gothic. The size of the texts
is formatted in 12-100 point type and no more than 12 point leading. The legibility of all texts
of this interactive project is easy to read, clear, and has understandable message for viewers.
I want to make sure if it goings to be a dark background, use light color text and other ele-
ments of the interactive design. The other option is that if the background is light, then I need
to make sure I use dark color texts and other elements of the design. This goes for shapes, ele-
ments, and principles of this interactive design. The way that is going to work is that if I create
typography in different styles, colors, and sizes. The texts are also formatted as links including
navigation elements, animatedgraphics, displayed in the menu navigation, and in horizontal,
vertical, top, center, left side and right side of the interactive design, and the bottom direction.
It is also going to be displayed on the sidebar in a rectangle shape on the right side. Not only
this sidebar will include a good communication, but contains polls, account, signed up ac-
count option where people can join the membership account. The other information on the
sidebar includes the statistic facts about the amount of the guests online are visiting this site.
The menu at the bottom contains more information about Artomatic Family Fun events. For de-
sign text protection, I will apply the copyright information appear on the bottom of the design.
This is the final design solution logo
for the project.

3.5 Brand Logo Typography Production
Logo Texts with Company Title and Body Texts
The editorial style will be set up in a cascading style sheet (CSS) format. I decided to make it
informal because since I designed a campaign ad that has a colorful, informal and fun design,
I want the interactive design to have the same theme to keep it the interactive design simple
and clean. It will have strong hierarchy in the overall layout. The language will be formatted in
English. The editorial style will have these following parts such as, ethos: slightly serious, ex-
cellent presentation and clean, pathos: positive emotional response, organizational structure
of this design is well organized that attracts audience. The logo part of this interactive design
will build credibility of successful presentation. I want to attach documents as downloads on
the media page of the interactive page. The attached documents will include employment
application, brochures, newsletter, and other related documents. The photos that are used in
this layout are examples from different events and activities.
