Typeface ART



  
Sketch
Day 3

Day 2



Day 4 & 5



This project was harder then I expected. I was  expected to produce an  animal or object consisting of only the letters of its name. I could not text worp or change the structure of the letter, you can only change  the size and direction of the letter. You can only work in Adobe Illustrator on an 8.5in by 11in document. My final project cons of E's ,G's, P's, and D's ad the out line of the BEAGLE PUPPY. I use P's for the eyes and Y's for the eyebrows. I used all the letters other the B and Y for the fur of the puppy. Some Elements of Art I used were shape, value, color, space, and texture. Some Principles of Design I used were balance, proportion, and repetitions. I used value, shape, color and texture when i choose where to to put the letter because a the letters over lap it makes contrast and make a texture. I used balance, proportion, and repetition when I used the letters over and over again . I used balance when i choose to put the B and the Y where  they are in the design. My final project somewhat matches my sketch because the out line of the puppy matches but the fill in does not.

Typeface




This was the type of project where you would be very lost and behind if you did not do your sketches. I was expected to produce 3 8.5in by 11in type face projects, monochromatic, free color, and cool or warm colors using Adobe Photoshop. My final projects contains my first name was in cool colors. My middle name was in free color. And last but not least my last name was in monochromatic.
Some Elements of Art and Principles of Design I used were contrast, color, balance, proportion, and line. I used contrast and color when I chose my color scheme for all three projects and when I had to decide which color would go where in each project. I used balance when I had to arrange the letter so that it wouldn’t just look like a bunch of letters but actually looked like a design. I used proportion by changing the sizes of my letters to fit the page without allowing one letter to be bigger than the other. I also used line when I overlapped my letters to produce a different direction for my viewers to look at
. My final projects somewhat resembled my sketch. For my last name resembles my sketch completely  but my first and middle name were free hand because I didn’t like my sketches and felt like I could have done better on them.

College and Career Center Banner

 This project was fairly easy once you become committed to your work and pay attention to the small details you were  instructed to include. I was expected to produces a banner saying “Welcome to the  College and Career Center” using Adobe Photoshop or Adobe Illustrator. My final project contains college flags aligned at the top with a picture of a college right beside it. I also have photos of a career change ahead sign and a stack of books and an army helmet. The banner  also has the school colors black and gold as the background.
    Some Elements of Art and Principles of Design I used were      repetition, contrast, color, and proportion. I used contrast and  color when I choose to use a black background with gold and white letters. I used repletion when I continuosly use the same flags at the too of the banner. I used proportion by not allowing my photos   to over power the banner. My final prokect somewhat resembled my sketch. Out of all 3 of my sketches, my finale projects contain elements of two off them allowing me to combine different elements to create one finale banner.
