Review Week 3

1) What is OSHA? What do the letters stand for?
OSHA prevents and publicizes occupational safety hazards.  It stands for Occupational Safety and Health Administration.


2) How can graphic designers effectively communicate?  In your own words, explain the communication process.
Graphic designers can effectively communicate visually with words and pictures to convey a message.  Examples include pictures to tempt a consumer into buying something, an emotional photo to portray a mood, or different fonts to give a feel what an event will be like.  The communication process has a sender and a receiver.  The sender thinks of the message and delivers it.  The receiver receives the message and interprets it.


3) Understanding the history, culture, and movements of fine and graphic arts will make you a better producer of visual messages.  Why?
Having background knowledge of art can help with a number of things.  Different projects or assignments may be revolved around a different time or have a cultural theme.  Having exposure to different cultures and time periods can help with inspiration, creating a style, and being knowledgeable to anyone who asks for a work done in a different time or culture.
