For this journal assignment, you will begin by making a short list of all the graphic design encounters that you experience daily. Identify the types of designs you thought were most effective. Discuss how these designs were persuasive and visually captivating by pointing out specific visual information such as color, type, design, etc. You can also identify unsuccessful designs and describe the ineffective qualities.

Do the graphic designs you encounter differ based on their origins? For example, do graphics from other countries or regions differ in their modes of expression and tonal qualities? Can you distinguish any cultural features in any of the designs?
