Social Justice Topic

Some of the topics that made me interested to speak out for is Racial Discrimination in Housings and inequalities, Financial Inequality as well as Health Care access.  The one that interests me alot as of right now would be Housing inequalities because here in New York as people who live in an economy where price is always going up and it is getting more difficult by the day to afford rent without it taking half your income, it becomes hard to live with its economy. In the designing for social justice in order to improve housing inequalities with racism also being a matter in this case, I would be able to bring the events of people of low income getting taken advantage. Not only is this the case but the fact that the dream of affording an house is getting difficult by the year which I find astonishing and there is barely any programs nor actions that gets the idea to help people of low income and people facing discrimination in housing related fields. It is most especially hard for immigrants who came to the United States in search of a better opportunity, only to be stuck in a cycle of draining labor that pays no mind to the hopes of the people. The peoples hopes and dreams are taken advantage of in many fields through the illusion of money and my most interest to speak out for being housing inequalities and I hope I will be able to make a design that could inspire or even bring people in to speak out more for this topic.

Alongside the fact that  there is no state or county where a renter working full-time at minimum wage can afford a two-bedroom apartment, as well as  6.8 million more affordable housing units are needed for extremely low income families. This matters because e ach year the shortage gets worse, and that’s why people are homeless in our country and why families struggle to pay for groceries and visits to their doctor. I was able to deep further into this research from the source   https://nlihc.org/explore-issues/why-we-care/problem . For hundreds of thousands of people living in NYC, the apartments are ones that are most affo...

Editorial Design

Based on the video, the editorial design components that are important involve the grid system. The grid creates structure on a page the same way frame of a building allows the rest of it to be kept balanced. Alongside the consistency of elements on each page when creating a brochure for example, you should aim for the reader to be able to figure out the hierarchy quickly and not have to think about it for a longer period of time.  Editorial design feels limited but it gets the idea across through containing consistent elements that help give hierarchy to the design, which is most effective in things like magazines and comic books in order to get the idea across effectively for the people.  The article that contains poster series made by different designers.
