Task 7 - Fifty Pumpkins

Version 1 (in case it needs re-submitting):

Task 14 : Poster Design

Task 13 : Good and bad type

Bad type because it doesn't match the colors and design as well as it does the traditional Mother cans

Bad type because it's plain and uninteresting

Bad type because it's not really creative

 Bad type because it's an unoriginal copy of a good type (Yugioh, Beyblade etc) with stylised Asian-looking symbols behind it (something that's been done before)

Bad type because it's not legible or easy to read despite how big it is

Good type for the context being used, fits the mood and message pretty well

Good type because it's bold and easy to read, but extremely basic and boring (and the context is written by someone with no sense of humor)

Good type because...

Good type because......

Good type because....

I can't think of much to say about the last three, I think they can be summed up together as being perfectly legible and stylized, but nothing special or too spectacular.

Task 11 : Typeface Panel

Normally used for Internet memes and messages, things that need to be read from a distance and have highly emotive content in a small space.

 

 

 

Designed  by Geoffrey Lee in 1965 and released by the Stevenson Blake Foundry. It now comes with Microsoft Windows by default and is one of the most commonly used fonts for software, websites etc.

Task 10 : Sketching Layouts

Task 2 Identifying focus and hierarchy

Just re-submitting one of my submissions  as a revised version or something.

Design | Learning Task 9: Gutenberg Diagram

I think that the flow here works from the left up to the middle and also the top left down the side at the same time. So it's sort of open to interpretation but HEROES is the biggest word so it's the most dominant part of the text.

Design | Learning Task 8 : Grid Layout

Find two magazine layouts that appear to use a grid system. Ensure you have permission to write all over them.

Take a photo before you cover it with ink. Then with a felt-tip marker, indicate on it where you think the grid is. Use equal -width columns.

Hint: if an item seems to go over more than one grid column that doesn't mean the grid stops, just draw over it.

 
Now find two examples from any source (but not magazines) that adhere to a equal-width-column grid. Car signage, clothing, architecture; it's your choice.

Note: When drawing the grid use equal width columns. By doing this it makes the grid usable across pages. Recall that repetition (consistency) is one of the design principles.

Now find two new layouts (from any source) that don't appear to follow a grid.
Explain why you think they don't use a grid.
Hint: Raygun Magazine or most designs by David Carson.
Can you see ANY design principles in the examples you chose? 

 This one I don't think follows a grid because the text is pretty minimal, there's more of a horizontal grid structure to it than a vertical one, but it's very loose and not exact, mainly it divides the titles and their faces.

 This one I don't think follows a grid system, as the shapes and placement of the text over the pictures is in a varied way with lots of shapes and overlapping. It kind of adheres to the Gutenberg Diagram from the next task, your eye is drawn from the top left and then downwards in a diagonal way so that you see the pictures in story order.

Design | Learning Task 6 : Whitespace

I need to wait for help with lession 5, but in the meantime here's then ext one to catch up with everyone else.
