Halloween Poster

With this project I learned some new things. I learned how to make things turn one solid color like the tree and bats. I also learned how to make the boarder different. It was kinda hard to do the grave stones.

my sign

In the image above i made a sign. It looks kind of cartoonish and the angle was off. The easiest part of this was probably the shapes. The hardest part had to be putting the white lines on the words stewarts and restaurant.

Welcome To Fabulous Las Vegas Nevada

In the sign I made i used several different techniques. One of them I used the rounded rectangle to make the outline of the sign. The hardest part I think was making the light bulbs go around the sign in a pattern. The easiest part was probably typing the words and putting them in the right font and color.

I chose this quote because if somebody is down but everyone else is not they need to help that person to get back up.I chose brown for everyone beacuse brown is like a reliability and comfort. For both the words thinking i chose a teal color because it means calm and people are calm when they think. for the background i chose a ivoryish color because calm and simplicity. It works with the background because its just there and its calm.(writers name at bottom)

Symbolism of colors/ typography

In this picture I chose to make mood black. I chose this because with what i searched mood means more like a bad feeling a none good emotion and it meant a bad mood. I chose feelings to be yellow because yellow has different types of feelings in its definition. And for emotion i picked two colors. Why? Well I did this because emotion didn't have just one color to represent it it had multiple ones I chose pink because it means love and caring. Red on the other hand showed aggression and danger. Emotion means like love or hate. So this is why I chose these colors.

Elements of Design

Point:

The point is the first and simplest element of visual design. The point can be used to represent many things. It could represent a bull's eye-The point serves as the focus of a visual, highlighting or drawing attention to important information. A series of points can attract attention, especially as they move closer together, like a doted arrow. it acn also be used to emphasize key ideas, use points or dots effectively in your visual images.use it to direct learners attention, like on a map showing where you are at. Also use it to make shapes,
represent a more complicated object or idea in order to keep the image clear and simple. 
 In the picture below it is showing where you are by using a point.











Line:

A line is a form with width and length, but no depth. Artists use lines to create edges, the outlines of objects. A line is created by the movement of the artist's pen. The line can be used for many different things like Horizontal lines. Horizontal lines are calm and quiet, vertical lines suggest more of a potential for movement, while diagonal lines strongly suggest movement and give more of a feeling of vitality to a picture.

 










Shape: 

A shape is an enclosed object. Shapes can be created by line, or by color and value changes which define their edges. Shape is considered to be a two-dimensional element, while three-dimensional elements have volume or mass. Therefore, a painting has shapes, while a sculpture has volume and mass. There are also positive and negative shapes. The shapes that the artist has placed are considered the positive shapes. The spaces around the shapes are the negative spaces.



Color:

Color is not essential to a good design. Black and white and shades of gray can create 'color' that is just as effective as reds, blues, and greens. However, color is an added dimension that can evoke moods and make powerful statements when used wisely.


Texture: 

Texture is the surface quality of an object. We experience texture when we touch objects and feel their roughness, smoothness or patterns. Texture is the artist's way of mapping these tactile impressions on to the two-dimensional picture. Texture is created by varying the pattern of light and dark areas on an object. Notice how the areas of light and dark give the impression of depth to the image below.



Size: 

Size is simply the relationship between the area occupied by one shape to that of the area occupied by another. To have a large sized shape requires the existence of a smaller sized shape. Size differences create interesting dynamics within a design. equally sized shapes create confusion.
 

 Space:

Space is the area between and around objects. The space around objects is often called negative space; negative space has shape. Space can also refer to the feeling of depth. Real space is three-dimensional; in visual art when we can create the feeling or illusion of depth we call it space.


 Value:

Value is the relative degree of lightness and darkness in a design element.
