This design was intended for the the banners on the campus at SUNY Oneonta. For this design I wanted to stay on brand with the colors and imagery, I decided to use the dragon as the main focus of the banner because I feel that that part of the SUNY Oneonta brand is lacking around campus. This process took me awhile, I played with other fonts and images but in the end I decided that the red dragon image should be on the banner because it’s an important part of the brand that doesn’t seem to get enough attention. My concept for this design was to have a readable, attention grabbing, yet on brand banner.

In order to accurately track the amount of time I spend on each project I decided to get a time tracking app. Surprisingly it was somewhat difficult to find one that was free and easy to use. many of the apps I looked at had too many buttons and were confusing to use. I finally stumbled across the Simple Hours Tracker app, which allows you to take times for many different projects, its free and easy to use. this app as opposed to other ones has three main buttons one to title a new project, one to start a timer for that project and one to generate the total amount of time you have worked on that project. I will use this app to show the hours I work on project both inside and outside of class time.

Environmental graphic design is a very intriguing field, it encompasses elements of industrial design, architecture, landscape design and graphic design. When creating environmental graphics must be concerned with ‘wayfinding’, or how people are orient themselves in a physical space and how they navigate from place to place. This has to be taken into consideration when designing environmental graphics because the design has to be suitable for the environment it’s placed in. Environmental design helps people understand where they are, and determine the purpose for their physical enviornment. Environmental graphics are vital for large areas because they help direct people to where they need to be.
