Essay for Project #2

For this project we had to create a card to represent the Visual Communication Arts major at Broome Community College. Though we had to put more thought in it than a simple picture with words on it. We had to take our own pictures and pick ones that fit with with Visual Communications, or "VisCom." Then we had to arrange the information on the major, according to the grid, and ways of "emphasis, alignment, repetition, flow, contrast, and balance" like we did in Project #1. So i came up with the one with the hand on the laptop, to show how you will be working on the computer for a lot of these majors, and alligned VisCom within the hand, and the majors across the keyboard, with the small paragraph in small and big fonts to show more emphasis on some words. I also chose the one with the windmill, with the applied technology building in the backround. Made the majors stand tall with the pole of the windmill and made "VisCom" biggest to show emphasis on what the card represents.
