Gestalt on Grid

 

This is the Gestalt on Grid project. This was one of the more harder projects because of the limitations that I had while doing this project. 

For the Proximity part of the Gestalt on Grid, the first and third rows were just regular text. However, for the second and fourth rows, I spaced the words in order to create proximity. 




For the Similarity part of the project, I used three pieces of text on the left and right sides. The left side had an additional fourth piece of text to create a sort of L shape. On the right side, there is also a fourth piece text. However, the text is rotated so it creates similarity but it is not the exact same thing. 






For the closure part of the project, I decided to mess with the tracking for the middle boxes for the left, right, top, and bottom sides. I decided to leave all of the corners as full text boxes so it is easier to see. 


For the continuity part of the project, I decided to make 4 full text boxes that goes from the bottom left to the top right in a diagonal line. Then, I used two text boxes and pressed alt + left key and and alt + up key to make the two other boxes. 


For the final part of the project, I used tracking to space out the letters to help create the sides of the H. Then, finally, I just created two text boxes and pressed alt + down key to make all the letters be smushed together to create the middle line in the letter H.

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...
