Assignment #2 - Maren Owen - GO.


My call to action statement is simple. Go. Get up and do something, don't just talk about it or fantasize about it but actually go and make a difference. I think that the stop light symbolizes the literal movement of "going" somewhere as it signals the time to do so. For the typography aspect of this assignment I decided to keep it simple and be bold, which is why I used all capitalization in this simple two-letter word. Also, by adding a period at the end of it I feel like it adds a sense of urgency or makes it a command. GO.

I commented on Lexi Erickson, Stefan Van de Graaff, Mallory Jesperson, Tanner Wadsworth and Jordan Miki Wheeler.

  1. I really like this! I like that the picture is black and white and not colored. The word GO really stands out. I like what the picture represents and the call to action. I like the typography too. It is simple, but it fits really well for the picture and the call to action.

  3. I liked this picture a lot. The shade of colors and the simpleness of the command: Go. It all makes it simple and straightforward

  4. I really like how it is black and white. It gives it an old fashioned or nostalgic look. And the building in the background reminds me of a fast paced city. The text is simple and straight forward.

  5. I love this picture. The type reminds me of the type Beyonce used on her last album (and that reinforces the message, at least for me!)

  6. I really like this picture! Maybe try putting the word go next to the light in the right side.

  9. I love how simple it is. I think this was the most powerful "call to action" out of all the assignments.

  10. I like that the "Go" is centered, but it isn't with the light.

  11. I thought this image just looked way cool. That's why I liked it. It's something that you'd see in like Urban Outfitters or some college kids room. I thought it would have been cooler if the "go" was placed where the green light would go but either way, still rad.

  12. Very smart font and placement of the word. I really like how you made it all white and black too. Maybe just the green part could have been in color? Awesome picture!

  13. I love love love this! It reminds me of a nike ad for some reason which is awesome. I like that the photo is in black and white and that you put a period at the end of GO.

  14. This is so good. I love the text and image combo. Only thing that is a little off for me is that it's a red light and the text tells us to go.
