Creative Anarchy at Its Very Best

Creative anarchy is about using the rules as guidelines and using your imagination to make up for the rest. This article is reassurance that it is okay to color outside of the lines in graphic design (not literally). Taking risks is what graphic design is all about. When it comes to completing the client’s needs, you have to meet them halfway. Finding that happy spot where both the clients ideas and the designers creativity meet is what makes a good design.  The author of this story is trying to get the fact across that not all designs must be so limited. As a designer, you have to be okay with the concept of your mind to new ideas and creative details will open up a whole new world for your graphic design.  For example, the author say’s “Design rules are more like guidelines.”  This quote shows us that the author literally means that rules aren’t always followed in graphic design and its not always necessary.

The author points out a few valid arguments, however I do not agree with all of them. The author says in the later parts of the article “There are no new ideas. There is nothing new under the sun. All design ideas can be traced back to something in the past.” I don’t agree when the author says this. There are new ideas coming up left and right on the daily. Most of the issues are that people aren’t as willing to dig up the new ideas, therefore they bend the past ideas into their own.  There are a lot of statements in this article that I would agree with, and only some that I wouldn’t. I think it is all based on experience and understanding of graphic design. For example, the author might think something in this article is 100% true because they’ve experienced it and they know, but I might not agree fully because I haven’t had the experience to decide whether or not that would apply with me.

I do think the article was helpful in telling us that it I okay to step outside of the lines, which it is, I know that for the most part the creativity is similar to stepping outside of the box, which we co everyday in graphic design without a though, but this will definitely help me realize when I’m dig something new, bold, or creative.  This article was helpful in the reassuring category.

http://www.kctv5.com/clip/13695506/kansas-city-natives-remain-stranded-in-florida-due-to-hurricane-irma In this news story, the reporter did a good job of getting many people involved to create a full story and show the effect of irma on everyone through Kansas City natives. They showed a lot of "B-roll" through the videos that the people they were video-chatting with sent in. I thought that even though it was hard for them to get good B-roll, they made it work with the footage they got and it was still able give the viewers a lot of information about what is going on. I think the reporter coulee used more footage from the actual hurricane instead of just the interviews that the people sent in, but at the same time it helped make it more personal. I think a little back story coulee been helpful to start off the story. I will take away from this story how important it is to get multiple interviews and also I learned the creative ways to get b-roll that I hadn'

The six shot sequence started with using the camera and the tripod to film all shots. At first I did the close up with the hands just to show how the story would begin. While I was editing the video I used a lot of the in and out tools to be able to show where I wanted my shots to end and beginning. I showed the start of the shot all the way up to the end of the shot. I learned about how to use both of the different tripods and also I learned how to customize the speed for the video.   The whole video was based off of my partner’s hobby. I tried to show different aspects, good, and bad of skateboarding.   A tool that was very helpful to me was the fade out tool. It helped slow down the video and show how it came to an end. I did learn a lot more about the camera and tripod throughout the scenes.
