http://www.mobilewhack.com/reviews/lg_cyon_-_environmentally_friendly_phone.html

Since the company I chose was EcoGen, a company that produces and sells environmental friendly and environmental conscious products, the design and characteristics of this phone will help and be a guide for me when I am thinking of ideas for my company. This phone doesn’t not contain any harmful components like lead and mercury. This shows how committed the company of LG are to the environment and how much consideration they put into their products.

From this article, I learned that graphic design plays an important role in music album covers. Contrast and proximity are the two most important elements when designing an album cover according to this article.

I liked this article a lot because it is very interesting and shows me a lot of about designs of today. For example, the bookshelf is looks quite strange and has a weird structure. However, people still think it is cool and is fashionable. It shows how the designs have changed throughout the past decade or two decades.

This article concentrates more on web designing and is presenting the new of design of Facebook. In addition, this article proves that Facebook has achieved its goal as being a social network. Even though it is a great design, there are a few negative points. This shows that there is no such thing as a perfect design since there is always something to work on on a graphic design.

I chose the main colors to be white and blue because white represents the sophistication, clarity and the efficiency of my company while the blue represents communication, intelligence, trust and logic. Altogether it will reflect the whole reputation of the company with these positive colors that will give a good impression to people, especially customers, who will look at this logo.

The Google Phone

http://gizmodo.com/5062977/t+mobile-g1-google-android-phone-review

This review of the Google phone is seriously tempting me to get on during Christmas. The pictures of the phone that are included in the review are great and give me a good impression of this "Smartphone", which is a big competitor with Apple's Iphone. The characteristics of this phone that impress are that it is multi-tasking, solid and simple. This phone has plenty of applications and cool tools. For example, more than one program can run on the phone. The phone is just like a computer since it has tons of apps including Google Maps, browser, a music player, IM Messenger and mail. In addition, the body of the phone looks like a HTC is just incredible. Different to the Iphone, the Google Phone has a keyboard (just like a HTC). However there are a few minor problems with the keyboard, since the scroll bar tends to be very sensitive and the keys on the keyboard are not raised high enough. As a result, it is very hard to type text messages on the phone, since it is not easy touch-typing. Overall, I believe the Google Phone will be a hit as soon as it comes out.
