Class Participation

I enjoyed being part of this project and learning some of the basics of photoshop. I am now more than ever firmiliar with the rule of thirds and its importance in design. I also now recognize the importance of a rough draft and how it is very helpful in creating a final product.

Objective success

Both designs show significant ballance through the use of negative space. In this case I learned that negative space is as valuable as the words presented. I used the rule of thirds to display my five selected words. The projects "Green" theme could be presented in many forms and my selection of words chosen fit the criteria.

Successful Visual Communication

The Asymetrical design uses the word HOME as a focal point that forces the eye to begin observation. After the focal point is recognized the eye then follows the design in a spiral rhythm returning the veiwer back to the focal point. Negative space in the design seems to create rhythm and ballance that allows the veiwer to comfortable walk through the design without distraction. The word HOME is written at a larger scale and is used as the focal point because it represent our planet Earth and without Earth the other words in the design would not exist to human life form as we know it. Most of all the design creates unity through ballance, proportion and simplicity.
The Symetrical design unifies it's words through well ballanced simplicity and scale. Negative space adds a great deal of simplicity and ballance as well. The proximity of the words surrounding HUMAN seem to create the illusion of a box. The design is basic and easy on the eyes.
