Gesalt Letters

This project was one of the harder projects for me to complete. I struggled to understand what was being taught. The links were not much help, at least for me. The images that Google offered me made finishing this project simpler. I understand how to do similarity and closure parts of the project. However, the parts of the project that were more difficult were proximity, continuity and figure/ground. For the three difficult parts of the project that I just mentioned, I had to do some external research in order to somewhat grasp what I originally looked at in the three links that were given to me at the start of this project. Even with the external research, I still do not completely understand. For the similarity part of the project, I decided to make a bunch of text on the top and the bottom of the screen in order for the bigger letters to look more similar to each other. For the closure part of this project, I realized that I could just use the erase tool. I could make small, but effective cuts to all the letters. These cuts would not hinder the ability of a person to understand the word that I was trying to say. These are some of the parts of my project that I have completed.

Self-portrait in Color Blogger

Image
This is the self portrait in color. I decided to make a piranha plant from Super Mario. The image below this was my inspiration for my work: I didn't want to just copy it completely. So, I decided to put my actual portrait instead of the piranha at the top and bottom right where the pipes are. I decided that as a final touch I would also put a question block from Super Mario. I thought it was a nice touch since there was a bunch of space above the three pipes with my portrait.  After the review, I made some changes to the self-portrait and now it looks like this:  I decided to make the background sky blue because to me it fits with the overall theme of the portrait in color. I added two bricks on the side of the question block because in the Super Mario games you can find two bricks and a question block in the middle in that order. I added coins because they can be found in that order as well. Finally, I added a star on the top of the middle pipe because the star is the best i...

Self-Portrait Grayscale Blogger

Image
  This is my self portrait in grayscale. This project was one of the most frustrating projects in the entirety of my time being in Graphic Design. I lost my file twice because it somehow didn't save, then, when I had it, I lost most of my work. I believe that I could have done better work than what I did. I almost mixed up all of my layers as well. What also made me take so much longer than it should have was the fact that I was too zoomed in while doing this project. I wanted precision at the start. However, by the end, precision was the least of my concerns, my objective was to finish it because it's been too long. Despite all of this, I enjoyed doing this project and would consider doing this again when I am more experienced with adobe illustrator and photoshop.

Expressive Words

Image
The expressive words project was one of the easier projects in my opinion. I really enjoyed manipulating the words in my project until I was content.  For the first part of my project, the first word that I chose for this project is the word donut. I decided to turn the letter o and turn it into a donut by putting another o inside the o.  For the second part of my project, I decided to choose the word animal. The first two letters and the last letter of the animal stayed the same, so I can change the rest of the letters while still being able to understand what the word is. Then the letter I got turned upside down into the ! sign. The  m was actually ^ grouped together with another ^ in order for it to look like an m. For the final a in the word animal, I decided to just use the @ symbol.   For the third part of my project, I decided to choose the word stretch. For this word, obviously, I stretched out the letters as far as I possibly could.  For the fourth part...
