Poster for a Cause Assignment

Here's what I came up with for a poster design. This poster is for a factious event being held to determine if you in fact could be a time traveler.

Color Assignment

For this assignment we were to create a color wheel, design 3 scales and take the Online Hue Test. Below are the results.

 Texture Sampler
 

Shape and Volume Assignment

I used a plastic lawn chair and a lamp for the assignment.

 

Shape and Volume

Rectilinear example

I used this cityscape that I took for the Empire State Building to represent rectilinear shapes. Most of the image is formed by straight lines.

 

Curvilinear Example

The image creates circular motion.

 

Naturalistic Example

This painting shows natural elements that would actually be found in nature in the correct proportions.

 

Idealistic Example 

This statue comes from Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. It appears larger than life.

 

Abstract Example

I like this image as an example of abstract art. The color and depth create an interesting design that does not represent anything in the natural world.

Non Objective Example

This work is a good example of non objective art. It does not depict a person, place or thing in the natural world.

Line Assignment

Updated Scale Assignment

I re-did the scale assignment

Rhythm Assignment

For this assignment I picked Touch for the sense to try and represent. The key words I used were Hot, Cold, Sharpe and Rough. Here is the image I come up with:

Rhythm

I chose this image, I liked the way the colors repeated, guiding the eye through the rest of the image. This is an example of an alternating rhythm that starts in the lower left corner with the circle, then bouncing the eye up thru the stone shapes on the left , then sliding down the middle vertical lines to the bottom again, then back up the corresponding shapes on the right to the top. At least that's how it worked for me!

 

This image has alternating light and dark rhythms that are slightly varied creating a flow that draws you to the center element.

 

Balance Assignment

Scale and Proportion

I chose to make my collage with some images I had from Lake Placid, NY, home of the Winter Olympic Games in 1932 and 1980 . Here's what I got!

Emphasis and Focal Point

Emphasis and Focal Point

by Edward Scholl - Tuesday, February 5, 2013, 8:19 AM

I chose this image to show emphasis and focal point. The picture captures the eye and takes you right down the street to the focal point.

You must find and post at least one image that represents each of these ideals:

• Contrast

 

• Isolation

 

• Placement

 

• One element

 

• Absence of focal point

 

 

Week 2 Assignment

You must find and post at least one image that represents each of these ideals:

• Proximity
• Repetition (emphasis on similarity)
• Repetition (emphasis on variety)
• Continuation
• The grid as organizing factor
• An example of a chaotic, unreadable image
• An example of a non-objective expression of unity
• An example of a figurative expression of unity

 

 

Proximity:

I like the way the bottles lined up and your eyes just flow from bottle to bottle.

 

Repetition (emphasis on similarity):

A good example of the Grid Layout

 

 

Repetition (emphasis on variety)

Another example of the Grid

 

Continuation

I think this is an example of Continuation!

 

 

 

An example of a chaotic, unreadable image

This seems Chaotic to me

 

 

 

An example of a non-objective expression of unity

 

An example of a figurative expression of unity

 

 

I found this image that I thought was a good example of the grid.
The unity of the color and how it flows together captured my eye as well

My Ideal 2D Design

My ideal 2D design is a design that captures the eye as well as the mind in the message that is being delivered.
