        One of the designers I reached out to is Judi Oyama. She runs her own business design company called Maximum Impact Design. She designs for local companies such as Beckmann's, Santa Cruz Skateboards, and Skate or Die. Also she has partenered up with Facebook Bussiness and Twitter to help design logos and back drops. In addition to her extensive portfolio she has 20 years of graphic design experience. 

        For my second graphic design connection I found a company called Jaguar Design Studio. This company in based in Aptos and have 16 experienced designer on staff. They have design for companies spanning from Crisco and VMware to Granite Rock and Luckydogs Bakery. 

There will be an update to this blog post when I hear back from them.

            Most of formats make the images pixelated and blurry. The 7th .gif format was the one that had the most blocked color. On the tree image it made to sky have strips of yellow and red and the trees to get very pixelated. The format that works the best for the tree image is the 8th one from the top and it is a .jpg.

Short Writing Assignment: Color Theory:


  • ·      The primary colors are red, blue, and yellow.
  • ·      Secondary colors are the byproduct of two primary colors mixing together, such as violet is a secondary color to red and blue.
  • ·      A tertiary color is a byproduct of a primary color and a secondary color mixed together or two secondary colors mixed together. Tertiary colors often have specific names.
  • ·      Color effects perception by making an image look 3D, such as back and white. Where white looks closer to the viewer and black look farther away. 
  • One color can affect another color by making a color look more vibrate or toned down.
