This is my Earth Day thumbnails assignment as a form of Brain Storming exercise.
This is the assignment is a Mood Board to indicate the type of mood the new add will reflect.
My homework assignment is to sketch a concert ticket of your favorite band, so I chose Andre' Rieu Orchestra as my band and my old friend Angela Brown as the singer. It is my dream to see her perform live! Yes, I love classical and opera! I hope someday, I will see performances live at The Met and Lincoln Center. And I would love to see some Broadway Musical productions as well.
Week 3
My Contrasting Ads Assignment.
1. Contrasting in colors of Bell Peppers. And contrast in color between price and description.
2. Here is where Sprouts uses contrast between their fonts in the title of their store and in what type of store it is.
3. Here is contrast expressed between avocados that has been cut in half and avocados that has never been cut. And their coloring also show contrast between them.
4. By using contrast in colors, I can crowd up all of my descriptions and still easily readable. Contrast can make things easier to read and avoid sensory overload or boredom.
This is the Birthday Invitation Assignment of three styles of Balance.
Symmetrical keeps everything balanced on both sides. It is like being able to fold a picture in half and open it to see both sides looks the same. Completely balanced.
Asymmetrical is also balanced like symmetrical, except it does not have a duplicated look on both sides, while still maintaining balance of both sides.
Unbalanced is the last one where there is no sense of symmetrical balances. Do you see most of the words and balloons leans more on the left side of the invitation while the right side is not as crowded with less items in there.
Yes, Pi Day is on March 14. :-)
Ransom Note Assignment where we use contrast in the most chaotic and unbalanced sort of way, like how I used colors and sizes for week 3. Which side has more contrast? Right side or left side? Actually the right side is both.
It says "Love is the Answer Let's love each other always"
Week 4
This is Princey Poo my chihuahua. I am fascinated with this photograph because it is unique and original, especially the way he looks licking his tongue out as if it were intentional. It was not. It grabs the attention of every person who saw this and end up with a chuckle.
The contrast here is quite fascinating to me because this is the color of someone's hand and their own stomach. Yea, its mines.
Contrast can help us to see things more clearly and see their distinction between them. If my hand and my stomach were the same exact color, then you would not see their differences.
This is my Grass Fed and Pasture ~ Raised Butter by Vital Farms. I was fascinated with this butter because it is also very artistic and creative looking. I like how symmetrical their design is that creates the harmonious look that is peaceful and positive the way the cows are raised. I keep a box around because it is so decorative.
This beautiful man's face fascinates me. There is contrast and harmony all in his coloring of his skin, hairs and eyes. And symmetrical beauty of his face. He just look like a beautiful work of art that captivates my soul, especially he is reflecting the peacefulness of his spirituality in his pose. It gives me a sense of calmness looking at this photograph.
The three drawings on the left side is more about different forms of contrast in different exercises.
The one on the top is showing two different versions of a web page that I sketched. The one on the left has bad contrast issues where things are not easily readable and too crowded with elements too close together.
The one of the right is the solution to the problem in making a more readable website that is more enjoyable to browse. Wouldn't you agree?
Week 5
Alignment Grouping & Harmony
Welcome to week 5 of my assignments.
I chose this Garth Brooks ad because I think it is quite interesting how they have a centered alignment on the right side of the page. The repetition is the same one I am using for week 5, which is the repetition of the colors of red, white and black. And the repetition of the color of the fonts as well, which I what I choose to do also with my white fonts.
