A presentation about gender stereotyping in advertising through typography that I made for a gender anthropology class a couple years back.

here it is as a pdf, since hopefully thats more accessible than me trying to fit several thousand words into the alt text.

Edit because I had to block a bunch of people:

This kind of insidious sexism hurts everybody and that includes Trans women and it is fucking required that trans perspectives be included in the discussion of these topics

Work wants me to learn 3D Program.

I've told them so many times I do not want to learn that.

My brain reached its capacity of learning new programs.

I do not find joy in creating 3d objects.

I've worked 4 years with two different 3D colleagues together and watched them often enough working with that Program to say for me this it not a thing I would like to learn neither enjoy to do.

There is a reason why I also said no to try learning modding.

Instead I would love to get more skilled on programs I already know or worked a little with (like figma).

And this company chooses not to ask if I would like to learn it even. Instead they decide to order my 3d colleague to install me the program so I can tweak into it it would be no force on me.

Brudi, I know very well if I give u the little finger you take my whole hand. Not gonna do it.

Nein heißt nein.

I'll search a new job and quit this one if they force me to learn 3D.

I've decided to become a graphic designer bc of typography, print and book design. I did study exactly that and not 3D design. If I had interest in 3D I'd have chosen to do game design ffs.

I can offer to get more into fucking hell of PowerPoint, I want to learn figma, hell I even would chose Premiere Pro over fucking cinema 4D

I'm so angry about this my words aren't taken seriously and that people decide for me what I should learn. This is a fucking no go

[jagcedes]

the devastating reality of being an employed high achiever with chronic executive dysfunction is that u have zero productivity during ur actual 9-5 shift and end up doing all the work at midnight while blasting pop music with horrifically horny lyrics achieving a state of nirvana moving shapes around and adjusting slide typography. cant believe im admitting this publicly but easily one of the perks of my current job is that i get to make powerpoints for a living

Today I wake up early, so I took the opportunity to study the theory of the driving license and do the quizzes. In this way I optimized my time and got ahead, so much so that I did my cardio training already in the morning while I relaxed more in the afternoon.

I also decided the Easter menù: various appetizers, cheeses and pickles, Easter cake and savory pies; while for dessert cooked cheesecake and Easter eggs.

I feel a little nervous and frustrated because I just got news that my brother and his girlfriend will be with us at Easter, lately our relationship has taken a turn for the worse so the situation makes me anxious, but I still want to try to be positive.

Fortunately I have the lasagna for dinner, I love lasagna and it makes everything better, it was a good day for the productivity and my mental health.

Week 1: #KnowYourClassmate

This week we started with our important class of the entire semester called ‘project 1- poster’.

We were introduced to our professor Milly Singh ma’am. She started the class with her introduction and went on to ask us about ourselves. We later recapped everything we did in our foundation year and in the end we were given our very first assignment. We were paired up with our classmates and were asked to interact with them and to make a poster on them. The outcome of this assignment was for us to know our classmates better and build better relations with them.

The notes taken during the interaction with my classmate:

The next day we were asked to show our ideations and later on ma’am went on to recap everything we had done until now in our course. She talked in depth about colors and typography. She told us what were jarring boundaries in color as well as what color psychology means. In typography we discussed the different typefaces like serif, sans serif, decorative etc. She asked us to research some fonts and typographers. This was a very informative session for me as I didn’t have a lot of knowledge about color and some of the terms were new to me. It was an interactive session with her asking us questions and us trying our very best to answer.

The notes taken:

On wednesday, we further discussed typography and she tested our research by dividing us into teams and we played a game where we were asked to identify the fonts put up on the board. This was a fun and again an interactive session. Here I learned ways in which I can identify the fonts and some new fonts.

On Thursday, we discussed our ideas for the poster with ma’am. She asked us to explain our ideas and how they represented our partner. She further gave us pointers on how we can improve our ideas and told us to finish the poster by friday. I presented her 5 of my ideas and she told me that she liked 2 of them and told me how instead of showing 3 different illustrations I can just show one.

The ideations:

On friday, we were asked to go get prints of our posters. While our classmates went and got the prints, she asked us to write power on the board and then asked us to further write synonyms related to it. When they returned with the prints she asked us to put up our posters and asked everyone for their input on everyone’s posters. She asked us to be brutal when evaluating our own work as well as our classmates' works as that will help us be better prepared when we go to the industry. She was honest when she gave all of us our reviews. Honestly, I wasn't myself happy with what I had put up so when she came to my poster and told me that it looked like a powerpoint presentation I didn’t mind it one bit as it was the truth. She further gave me points on where I can improve and later took us to the board where we had synonyms to the word power. Later, we went back to the board where we wrote the synonyms of power and she gave us a brief about what we were supposed to do. She asked us to form a group of 2 or 4 people and make a poster on ‘power’. But before that we were asked to mindmap 4 types of powers and further classify them if needed. (Ps. the poster was too horrible to put on here.)

That's all for now. See you all next time!

Best software for creating fillable forms

"Streamline Your Form Creation Process: The Ultimate Software Guide"

In the realm of creating fillable forms, there exists a multitude of software options available in the market. However, it is worth noting that the best software for creating such forms is subjective, and depends on the specific needs of the user.

Adobe Acrobat DC is a well-known and widely-used software option that enables users to create and modify fillable PDF forms with ease. Other alternatives to consider include Google Forms, Microsoft Word, and JotForm, each possessing its unique features and capabilities that enable users to design and customize forms according to their preferences. Ultimately, the selection of the best software for creating fillable forms hinges on the user's specific requirements and proficiency with the software.

"Designing Eye-Catching Posters: Best Practices for Professionals"

When designing a professional poster, it is imperative to approach the task with a methodical and discerning mindset. A successful strategy begins with identifying the poster's purpose and intended audience, as this information serves as the foundation for crafting a clear and effective message that resonates with viewers. In tandem with this message, the poster should exhibit a cohesive and visually engaging design that complements its intent.

Employing high-quality imagery, graphics, and typography, as well as a color scheme that enhances the message, all work together to create a visually compelling piece. To ensure ease of digestion, the layout should be organized in a manner that is both easily scannable and readable, with priority placed on the most crucial information.

Additionally, the text should be expertly crafted to be concise, legible, and thoughtfully chosen. Finally, to guarantee the poster is error-free and aligns with its intended purpose, proofreading and reviewing are essential final steps.

"Attributes of a Flourishing Poster Design"

Effective communication through a visually stunning poster design is crucial for reaching the target audience. The elements of a successful poster design include clarity, simplicity, and consistency. The message must be clearly communicated to ensure that the audience comprehends its intended purpose.

The design should be simple, with a hierarchy of information that enables the viewer to quickly and easily grasp its significance. Consistency in design elements, such as fonts, colors, and images, contributes to a polished and harmonious poster. Furthermore, incorporating appropriate visuals can further enhance the message and captivate the viewer's attention. Ultimately, a successful poster design should leave a lasting impression on the audience and motivate them to take the desired action

23 Sept | Developing a Personal Style - Logo Styles.

NER - Personal Progression Project

Personal branding, as the term suggests, is all about yourself and your personality transformed into a brand. When you build your brand, it’s crucial to have a personal logo that you can use for different aspects of your brand, from business cards to your social media channels.

Task 1: To complete this task effectively, you should examine various logo styles to determine which one aligns best with your personal brand. Create a mood board for each of the following logotypes:

Emblems

Wordmarks

Monogram Logos

Abstract Logo Marks

Mascot Logos

Combination Mark

Each mood board should feature visual examples and notes explaining why a particular style resonates with your personal brand. This process will help you explore and select the most suitable logo style for your unique identity.

Useful links;

logosystem.co/logo

Task 2: Once you have crafted a mood board for each of these logotypes, your next step will be to narrow down your choices. Select three logotypes and delve deeper into their exploration. Here are some useful points to consider in how you could use these different logotypes:

Understanding the Brand and Its Audience:

Brand Identity: What are the core values and mission of your brand?

Brand Personality: How would you describe your brand's personality? (e.g., friendly, professional, innovative, trustworthiness).

Logo Design Preferences and Requirements:

Style Preferences: Do you have any specific styles or aesthetics in mind (e.g., minimalist, vintage, playful)?

Colour Preferences: Are there any colours you prefer or avoid? Colours and tones are carefully considered to evoke a deeper message or meaning.

Typography: Do you have a particular font or style in mind for the text?

Symbolism: Are there any symbols or icons that resonate with your brand?

Practical Considerations:

Usage: Where will the logo be used (e.g., website, social media, print materials)?

Scalability: Will the logo need to be used in various sizes and formats?

By asking these questions, you can provide a clear understanding of your vision and ensure that the final logo design aligns with your brand's identity and goals.

All work needs to be completed within your Online PowerPoint document “Progression Project - Full Name” under the heading “Developing a Personal Style - Logo Styles.”

What Are the Best Aesthetic PowerPoint Templates for Business Presentations?

Did you know that 90% of information transmitted to the brain is visual, and people process visuals 60,000 times faster than text? In the fast-paced world of business, where attention spans are short, the design of your presentation can be the difference between sealing the deal or losing your audience. Aesthetic PowerPoint templates are not just some fad; they are a need when creating a presentation that is both aesthetic and effective. With thousands of them at your disposal, how does one even decide on the one that is going to set your business presentation apart? In this column, we walk through some of the best aesthetic templates to help you engage an audience effectively and communicate your message.

Why Aesthetics Matter in Business Presentations

Now, imagine sitting through a presentation where the slides are clashy, and the colors are garish, harking back to the heydays of behaviorism. It doesn't make a good impression at all. You see, aesthetics in business are not an optional extra; it's a necessity. Good design can convey your ideas more clearly, build trust with your audience, and even nudge a decision your way.

The Place of Visual Appeal

Visual appeal is not only about the look; it also helps your content to be understood and retained. Research proves that there is more retention of material if it is presented with visuals. Aesthetic ppt templates frame your information within a visually appealing, perfect, and cohesive framework.

Affects Audience Engagement

An aesthetic PowerPoint template will help make your presentation more engaging. Through this, the audience won't look elsewhere while the presenter is presenting colorful slides to excite the interest of viewers right until the end of one's presentation. After all, this is key to a business environment, in which the presenter has to keep stakeholders, clients, or team members interested.

Key Features of Aesthetic Slide

When selecting an aesthetic PowerPoint template, features are the points to look out for, which add to the flair of a presentation. Hereon, read to learn more:

Consistent Color Scheme

Ensures professionalism and polished effect. It also helps your slides not become a distraction from the content.

Clean and Simple Layout

A neat and tidy slide layout with enough white space helps to read and comprehend the slide. Not Cluttered – Only as much is necessary.

Typography

But the right choice in Typography can add a real spark to your template. Try to have one that has easily readable fonts and still suits your brand.

High-Quality Images/Graphics

The visuals should support your content, not overshadow it. High-quality photos and graphics can boost the overall aesthetic but shouldn't eclipse what's actually on your Slide.

Customizability

Your template needs to be customizable regarding color, font, and style according to your brand. Look for templates that enable the same degree of customizability.

Top Free Aesthetic Templates for Business

Templates, whether free or not, need not be a pain in your pocket. Below is a list of some of the best free aesthetic PPT templates for business presentation purposes:

Minimalism at its Best

What you require is rather simple. A minimalist aesthetic template would be all right. Generally, these types of templates sport clean lines, very simplistic color schemes, and lots of white space to enable your content to shine bright.

This template is designed with a sleek and modern look that suits corporate presentations. It balances between text and graphics, perfect for showing data and key points with minimum words. Creative Innovation

Creative templates combine dynamic layouts, original design, and vibrant colors that will make a bold statement for any kind of presentation to catch the viewer's eye. For presentations where there is a need to surprise or impress the audience with something out of the ordinary, such templates would work well.

Elegant Business

This Elegant Business template combines sophistication with functionality. It merges a classic color palette with a very modern design fit for any high-stakes presentation, such as pitching an idea to potential investors.

Pitch Deck Designed Aesthetic

This template is designed to fit your thematic needs when pitching a business idea or startup. Slides in this presentation include the essentials for submitting your business model, market, and financial projections in a catchy way.

Minimalistic Designed Aesthetic Templates

Minimalism is not only a trend in design but also an attitude. Minimalism in the PowerPoint presentation helps to clean the slides from extra noise and focus the audience on the key message.

Why Use Minimalism

Minimalist templates work well in a business setting when you will need to explain convoluted information in a short way. White space, clean fonts, and a lack of color will prevent you from overwhelming your audience.

Examples of Minimalist Templates

There are plenty of free minimalist aesthetic ppt available and effective. Below are some popular ones :

Monochrome Minimal: A black and white color scheme that gives a professional and sleek look.

Simple White: Its white, slightly colored background marks its corporate touch with the subtleness of the colors.

Elegant and Professional

There must be a touch of grace and class to corporate business presentations. Elegant and professional designs indicate schemes of color with the incorporation of muted colors, tasteful fonts, and gentle use of graphics.

When to Use Elegant

Elegant designs are great for high-stakes presentations where you need to look your best: investor pitches, board meetings, or client proposals. They evoke gravitas and set an important tone of professionalism that will help build trust with your audience.

Top Elegant Templates include Navy Blue Elegance: It's a deep and rich-level blue featuring a gold accent color scheme, designed for the highest levels of formality in business environments.

Sophisticated Grey: This is a minimalistic design with greys and white colors best suited for corporate projects.

Creative and Innovative Templates

If being subtle is not your pick, we've got you the best here. Well, this template generally comes with unpredictable colors, layouts, and designs to make your work richer than the others.

Why Use Creative Templates?

Creatively designed templates are best used when making a memorable impact in presentations. Some of the industries that can benefit from this type of design include those in marketing, design, and tech, where innovation is seen as a dominant factor.

Examples of Creative Templates

Color Burst: Bright colors and bold layout, making it perfect for creative industries.

Abstract Shapes: This is a modern design that entails the use of abstract shapes and lines for a slide presentation. Perfect for a tech or design-centered presentation.

Corporate-Themed Aesthetic Templates

Corporate templates are professionally designed and visually attractive; meanwhile, they meet high demands within a corporate layout where looking polished and consistent is key.

Features of Corporate Templates:

Corporate templates usually include a set scheme of color designs, professional typography, and clean layout designs. They are easily adaptable and you can customize the template according to the needs of your own brand.

Top 10 Corporate Templates

Blue Corporate: Classic corporate one with a blue color palette, good for any financial or consultancy presentation.

Grey Professional: Versatile and professional grey-themed template for most business presentations.

How to Make the Aesthetic Templates Match Your Brand

Customizations to templates make your aesthetic PowerPoint complementary to your brand look. Do it using the steps below: Color Palette

Select the color scheme according to the color sticking to your brand style. You will notice most of the templates will easily allow you to change the textual, background, and graphics colors.

Typography

Maintain the fonts on your brand's style guide. The selected type of font has to be easily readable and professional.

Images and Graphics

Replace the in-built stock images or graphics with your own in the template, that touch of personality, and ensure that the graphics used are relevant to your content.

Logo And Branding Elements

Drop your company logo and any other branding elements into the template. That makes one look and feel and strengthens your brand's identity.

Tips For Using Aesthetic Templates Well

The best template won't rescue your presentation if you don't use it wisely. Here are several crucial steps for your aesthetic PowerPoint template to work for you:

Simplify Your Message

Keep it simple. Address one message at a time—a blurred slide full of information won't benefit the audience.

Employ High-Quality Images

Your presentation mustn't contain any low-quality images. Only use high-res images and stick to the subject.

Consistent

Your color, font, and layout design must be consistent from slide to slide to keep up a professional appearance.

Rehearse

Even the best-designed presentation would be of no use if you do not deliver it well. Practice your delivery so you are confident and comfortable in your content and design.

Embracing The Future: Graphic Design Trends To Watch In 2024

Graphic design is a dynamic field, continually reshaped by cultural trends, technological breakthroughs, and bursts of creative innovation. As we navigate through 2024, several exciting trends are defining the landscape, blending nostalgia with cutting-edge technology and a deep commitment to inclusivity. Let’s dive into the key trends that are making waves in graphic design this year.

AI-Enhanced Design Practices

AI is revolutionizing graphic design, providing tools that enhance creativity and efficiency. Far from replacing designers, AI acts as a powerful assistant, handling repetitive tasks and offering smart suggestions. For instance, Adobe Sensei uses machine learning to speed up tasks like image resizing, background removal, and color correction, allowing designers to focus on the conceptual and creative aspects of their work​ (Venngage)​.

AI also assists in generating mood boards, suggesting color palettes based on target audiences, and even creating data-driven visuals such as infographics. This integration of AI into the design process not only enhances productivity but also opens new avenues for creative exploration.

3D and Hyper-Surrealism

Three-dimensional design is taking a bold turn with hyper-surrealism. This trend blends hyper-realistic elements with surreal, abstract shapes and vibrant colors, creating visually striking compositions that challenge perceptions of reality. The use of 3D technology allows designers to push boundaries, experimenting with new themes and color combinations that offer a fresh perspective on visual storytelling​ (Vistaprint)​.

This style is perfect for brands looking to create engaging and escapist visuals, whether through mascots, characters, or intricate infographics. The result is a captivating blend of reality and fantasy that grabs attention and sparks imagination.

Retro and Pixel Art

Nostalgia continues to be a powerful driver in graphic design, with retro and pixel art making a significant comeback. This trend sees the integration of 8-bit graphics reminiscent of early video games and web designs, combining them with modern aesthetics to create a charming blend of old and new​ (GraphicMama)​​ (Venngage)​.

Pixel art’s inherent simplicity and vibrant charm appeal to a broad audience, offering a playful respite from the hyper-realism of contemporary visuals. Brands like Pizza Hut and Lacoste have embraced this trend, infusing their designs with a nostalgic touch that resonates with consumers across generations.

Experimental Typography 

Typography is breaking free from traditional constraints, becoming a playground for experimentation. In 2024, expect to see unique typefaces, varied weights and sizes, and unconventional alignments. This trend transforms text into a dynamic element of design, creating visually interesting and engaging compositions​ (Venngage)​.

Designers are exploring new ways to use type to convey meaning and emotion, making typography not just a functional component but a central feature of their designs. This experimentation opens up endless possibilities for creative expression.

Inclusive Visuals

Inclusivity in design is more important than ever. In 2024, graphic designers are striving to create visuals that reflect the diverse world we live in, incorporating elements that represent a broad spectrum of races, ethnicities, genders, abilities, and body types​ (Venngage)​.

This commitment to inclusivity goes beyond representation; it aims to create visuals that resonate with diverse audiences and promote a sense of belonging. Brands are also prioritizing accessibility, ensuring that their designs are usable by people with visual impairments or cognitive disabilities, thus making inclusivity a fundamental aspect of good design.

Texture and Tactility

Texture is becoming a key element in graphic design, adding depth and a tactile quality to visuals. This trend involves using textures in both digital and print designs to create a more immersive and engaging experience​ (Adobe Solutions)​.

From incorporating tactile elements into typography to using textures to enhance the visual appeal of backgrounds and illustrations, designers are finding creative ways to engage viewers’ senses. This approach not only makes designs more interesting but also helps to establish a stronger emotional connection with the audience.

Nature-Inspired Aesthetics

As a response to the increasing digitization of our lives, many designers are turning to nature for inspiration. This trend involves using natural elements and organic shapes to create designs that are calming and authentic​ (Venngage)​.

Nature-inspired aesthetics often feature earthy color palettes, botanical themes, and eco-friendly materials, emphasizing sustainability and a connection to the natural world. This trend reflects a growing awareness of environmental issues and a desire to incorporate these values into visual communication.

From Wireframes to Prototypes: A Comprehensive Guide to the UX Design Process

User Experience (UX) design is a crucial aspect of creating digital products that are both functional and enjoyable to use. The process of transforming initial ideas into fully-fledged prototypes involves several key stages, each building upon the last to create a cohesive and user-friendly design. In this comprehensive guide, we'll explore the journey from wireframes to prototypes, examining each step of the UX design process along the way.

1. Understanding User Needs

Before diving into wireframes or prototypes, it's essential to understand the needs and expectations of your target users. This involves:

- Conducting user research through surveys, interviews, and focus groups

- Creating user personas to represent different segments of your audience

- Developing user stories and scenarios to illustrate how people will interact with your product

This foundational work ensures that your design decisions are grounded in real user needs rather than assumptions.

2. Information Architecture

With a clear understanding of user needs, the next step is to organize the content and functionality of your product. This involves:

- Creating sitemaps to visualize the overall structure of your product

- Developing user flows to map out how users will navigate through different tasks

- Organizing content into logical categories and hierarchies

A well-planned information architecture serves as the backbone for your wireframes and prototypes, ensuring that users can easily find what they're looking for.

3. Sketching and Ideation

Before moving to digital tools, many designers find it helpful to start with pen and paper. This stage involves:

- Rapid sketching of layout ideas and interface elements

- Exploring multiple design concepts quickly and cheaply

- Collaborating with team members through whiteboarding sessions

Sketching allows designers to iterate quickly and explore a wide range of possibilities before committing to more detailed wireframes.

4. Creating Wireframes

Wireframes are low-fidelity representations of your product's layout and structure. They focus on:

- Placement of key elements and content

- Basic navigation and user flow

- Rough layout and hierarchy of information

Wireframes can be created using specialized tools like Balsamiq or Sketch, or even simple tools like PowerPoint. The goal is to create a basic visual representation of your product's structure without getting bogged down in visual design details.

5. User Testing Wireframes

Even at this early stage, it's valuable to get user feedback. This can involve:

- Conducting usability tests with paper prototypes or clickable wireframes

- Gathering feedback on the overall structure and flow of the product

- Identifying potential usability issues early in the process

This feedback helps refine the wireframes before moving on to more detailed designs.

6. Visual Design

With the basic structure in place, it's time to add visual elements to your design. This stage includes:

- Developing a color palette that aligns with your brand and user expectations

- Choosing appropriate typography for readability and brand consistency

- Creating a visual hierarchy through the use of color, size, and placement of elements

- Designing custom icons and illustrations as needed

The visual design stage transforms the bare-bones wireframes into a more polished and appealing interface.

7. Creating High-Fidelity Mockups

High-fidelity mockups are static representations of your final product design. They include:

- Detailed visual designs for each screen or page

- Accurate representations of colors, typography, and imagery

- Placeholder content that closely resembles the final product

Tools like Adobe XD, Figma, or Sketch are commonly used to create these detailed mockups.

8. Developing Interactive Prototypes

The next step is to bring your designs to life through interactive prototypes. This involves:

- Adding interactions and animations to your high-fidelity mockups

- Creating clickable areas that allow users to navigate through the product

- Simulating the user experience as closely as possible to the final product

Prototyping tools like InVision, Axure, or the prototyping features in Figma and Adobe XD allow designers to create interactive experiences without writing code.

Conclusion

The journey from wireframes to prototypes is a complex but rewarding process that results in user-centered, thoroughly tested designs. By following this comprehensive approach, UX designers can create digital products that not only look great but also provide an intuitive and enjoyable experience for users.

Remember that while this guide presents a linear process, UX design is often iterative and non-linear in practice. Don't be afraid to revisit earlier stages as new insights emerge, and always keep the user at the center of your design decisions.

By embracing this holistic approach to UX design, you'll be well-equipped to create digital products that truly resonate with your target audience and stand out in today's competitive digital landscape.
