Post #2!

Traveling is a huge part of my life. I have not made it out of the country yet but I plan to eventually! My dream job is to become a documentary film maker who can travel all over the world and make films. I believe that this relates back to graphic design a lot. Every country is different and has different ideas of what advertisements and films should look like. I also would not want to offend anyone in another country by making a film that goes against their beliefs or culture. Let us compare and contrast some ads from all over the world!

 

This is a new ad that was just released in India. It is for Nikimal which is an Indian based company that sells furniture.  At the very bottom if you can see the symbol for Nikimal this really caught my eye because of the type of font they used and how well it was kerned. It is very neat and precise to show that they are a very organized company even if their customers need some crazy furniture for different things. That is showed in them using a circus who would buy their furniture.

This is in Osaka, Japan. As you can see their style of advertisement is much different then our own. They are much more cartoon in everything they do. The are also very colorful. Even though these ads are in Japanese you can tell that the designers in japan were also kerning. The letters are very well spaced and make for a nice design.

There are many things all around the world that are very similar and very different to what we do here in America. We can see even in different countries they are worried about what type of font to use and kerning. When I eventually make it outside of this country I will sure be on the look out for what ads use what fonts and how well kerned they are!
