Visual Communciation

Visual Communication class was very successful. The methodology followed by the instructor was smart; in other words, I can say that the course material was given to students not traditionally. We were all participating in making the course material clear. Also, during the whole semester, the idea of presenting demos was good, since we had the chance to learn more about many things that have relationship with visual communication like colors, lighting, cartoons, etc.

Signifier #2

 

This mask is a symbol of revolution, I personally like the face because it shows that the person behind the mask has no specific feeling. Apparently, nowadays in our society approximately most of  people are insincere vis-a-vis their emotions and ethical behavior.

Signifier #1

 

The dove I drew means a lot for me because it signifies freedom, peace, and hope. These three heavy words are actually missed in our world nowadays.

Uniform Connectedness

 

This picture illustrates the initial of my first name " Ibtissam "; capital I, with small "i" inside.

Closure

 

 

This actually represents a new moon, and to make its shape clear I wrote " Ramadan Karim " in Arabic. 

Proximity

Figure/Ground Relationship

Goals

 

This picture represents my goals behind my mission statement.

Mission Statement

 In one of my Marketing classes we were asked to create a billboard and a mission statement of a brand of our choice. I chose Victoria's secret, and created a mission statement that goes with the moroccan context. "Naked Beautifully wrapped"

Branded

 

This picture shows some of the beauty products provided by very known brand Victoria secret.  

Picture of Morocco

 

During this last spring break I went with my friends to Agadir - the south of Morocco; it's acctually a very beautiful city. We enjoyed most of our time everywhere in this city. This picture is taken from Agadir Oufella the top of the city and from where we can see the beach and the five stars hotels besides  "La Marina d'Agadir" with its fancy buildings and stores . 

Backlighting

 

This post illustrates the backlighting mode of taking pictures, as you can see; we can clearly notice the light behind the face in this image and it’s called the backlight.

 

Unusual Lighting

analogous, complimentary, triadic and quadratic color scheme

This garden with a triadic color scheme has Prairies Sun rudbeckia, Evolution salvia and Tidal Wave Cherry petunia.
The analogous color scheme uses colors next to each other on the color wheel. Typically one color is more dominant. Red and orange, orange and yellow, or yellow and green are examples of this scheme.

Point Line Plane

Point, line, and plane are the building blocks of design. From these elements, designers create images, icons, textures, patterns, diagrams, animations, and typographic systems.

Lines are drawn with a pen, pencil, brush, mouse, or digital code. They can be straight or curved, continuous or broken. When a line reaches a certain thickness, it becomes a plane. Lines multiply to describe volumes, planes, and textures.

Illusions

Illusions are fun. They draw people into our discipline, they inspire new algorithms, they fill us with wonder. They are the children of our professional lives. And like children, illusions are a bit unruly. They do unpredictable things and defy a simple organization.

Law of Continuity

Law of Continuity — The mind continues visual, auditory, and kinetic patterns.

Sometimes the law of continuity gives us the mistaken impression that lines continue when they do not.

 

I am Ibtissam Ouahdi, this is my fourth year at Al Akhawayn University. When I first came, I enrolled in the School of Business Administration, and then I made sure that I am very interested in things that are related to marketing strategies with public relation notions. So, in order to combine my interests in my academic life, I decided to combine both Marketing and Communication; hence, I am majoring in Marketing and minoring in Communication studies. My objectives behind this choice are to learn more about how for instance some spots are done? What are the steps followed in order for the visuals to be acceptable and clear to the receiver; in this case the consumer? And many other questions that I am expecting to have answers to them by the end of my academic career and also my professional one.
