These are three different types (artifact, perceptual, cognitive) of maps that show my route, my senses, and my thoughts to my first class. This project helped me get more comfortable with Illustrator and the pen tool. The only real problem I had with this project was figuring out the color scheme.
In this “Scale” project I had to make three compositions that respond to a chosen prompt, which was drawn out of a bag. I had to design them with an influence of Pop art
What is service?
What is the purpose of the government?
I was assigned a material studies project in which I had to explore different materials. The ultimate goal of this project was to decide upon a material and create our own typeface from it. I experimented with light bulbs, sponges, and springs. I finally decided to choose sponges for my type because of their texture, color, and shape.
I had to design symbols for a topic that doesn’t really have classified symbols for it. I chose the subject of rock music. The three subtopics I chose were the music itself, the diversity of rock, and lyrics of rock.
In this “Scale” project we had to make three compositions that respond to a chosen prompt, which was drawn out of a bag. We had to design them with an influence of constructivism art.
Q:Who is your favorite character from “Gone with the Wind”?
Q:Who is your favorite character form the bible?
Q:What is sacred profane?
We had to create a series of six photographs, each with a distinct design element in common with the previous photo. The design elements are: Space, Line, Form, Shape, Value, Color, and Texture. Can you guess the element connections between each photo?
Connections:
1-2 Space 2-3 Color 3-4 Shape 4-5 Texture 5-6 Space
This exercise was an introduction to Adobe Illustrator. We were to trace a picture of a rubber duck using only the pen tool, this was my first time using a pen tool.
In this “Scale” project I had to make three compositions that respond to a chosen prompt, which was drawn out of a bag. These had to be photographed.
What happens after death?
Describe a friend/someone you care about?
What is dating?
This is a specimen book that displays the typeface futura. I decided to go towards a geometric, playful design that showed the geometric design aspect of the typeface futura. This was the first time I used InDesign and saddle stich binding.
Design Culture Now was a fictional event which I was tasked with creating a poster for it. I went for a simple geometric, clean design. With this poster I learned how to tile and that you have to create many drafts before getting to the final idea.
