Week 6- Design Success and Failure in Relation to Syntactical Guidelines


They syntactical guidelines have been put to good use in these music flyer for a local soul music party. The important pieces of information are stressed here including the name of the party, name of DJ, and name of club. It is also well balanced with a symmetrical layout of text and imagery. Grouping is also very well executed here using different color, fonts, and sizes differentiate and group like information. My overall perception of the flyer is also very hip and futuristic which I think I appeals to the appropriate crowd and accurately conveys the music played here. 

 
This flyer fails to follow many syntactical guidelines and is bad design. There is no use of stress or sharpening and it is hard differentiate the different information. The important information needs to contrast more with the other information. The flyer has balance but but it is too balanced and lacks attraction, mainly because there is no difference in font size, style and has no real title. Although the information is color coded it still feels scattered and like information should be close to each other.
