Design For A Cause

Color Wheel and Hue Test

 

Value Assignment

This assignment was interesting. At first I thought it would be easy but I found it to be a bit harder than I had anticipated.

Illusion

Illusionistic Space

This image uses aerial perspective to get a sense of depth.  As the stairs go to the next floor it makes the ceiling seem further away.

This image uses size to give it depth.  The art on the left is a bit larger than the one on the right, while the one on the right is larger than the one in the center.

The shadow is an example of exaggerated size to give the image a sense of depth.

Illusionistic Motion

The cropped image gives the dog a sense of motion.

 

The use of repeating images gives it a sense of motion; the cards moving from one hand to the other.

This image uses blurred lines to give it movement.

Texture

Meant to put this up on Sunday after I finished, but I forgot.

I chose the sense of touch. This assignment was a bit interesting.

Balance

The first part of the assignment was fairly easy, but it was the second part that I had difficulty figuring out how I wanted it look different from the first.

Surrealism

Emphasis and Focal Points

This image demonstrates emphasis of one-element.  Although the swimmer might be considered the focal point, I believe it's the cityscape. I say this because the wording above the image attracts your eye more than the swimmer. Found on Bing.

This image represents emphasis by contrast, because the rest of the faces are yellow and they have smiles while the red one has a sad face. Found on Bing.

This image has an emphasis on isolation.  The dancers to the right seem to be the focal point, while the single dancer to the left is isolated from the group numerically and with a bright light. Found on Bing.

This image demonstrates emphasis by placement.  The fire-hydrant is the focal point because when you look at the hydrant your eyes move to the tree then to the building and eventually to the yellow post and back to the hydrant. Found on Bing.

This image has no focal point. It is almost like splatter paint.

Unity Assignment

I found this image on Bing. This image represents proximity. The placement of each curved person creates an image of a tree.

This was also found on Bing.  This image contains repetition. The tire treads repeat both vertically and horizontally.

The repetition of berries is varied in both size and in color. Image found on Bing.

The black lines that go from the center to the edge continue even though the lines go from being in a cylindrical design to a flat surface. Found this on Bing.

This image of the New York Times webpage shows how the grid organizes the page so things are easy to find. Found this screen shot on Bing.

This image is both chaotic and non-objective. The image doesn't depict any certain image. Found this on Bing.

American Gothic is considered figurative in design because it depicts a person. Found on Google.

2D Ideal

My ideal design is something that has balance in both its colors and its layout.  I took this photo for my photography class last semester and captured my ideal design.  The balance between dark and bright colors, makes this photo interesting.  In the photo, the foreground and the background equal each other and balance out the intent of the photo.
