Graphic Design - Typographic Poster
Typographic poster isn’t easy for all these tiny letters and the principles of typesetting to be dealt with. I’m thinking a robot may describe characters of “Franklin Gothic” for it’s heavy weight, condensed proportions, and minimal contrast between strokes.
Graphic Design - Contrasts
Contrast combination of doubles and triples of below arrangement just by simple shapes:
scale
weight
direction
space
form
texture
Graphic Design - Complimentary & Contrast
It’s like an experiment playing with sorts of graphic forms. I’m making graphic design by building blocks to best learn graphic design.
Graphic Design - The Character of Characters
The character of characters - Typeset the name of an object (e.g. "apple", "shoe", or "glasses" etc.) in a typeface that relates to (or represents) each of the adjectives (e.g. “plump”, “old”, “vintage” etc).
The top strokes looks like the stems where you grab the bananas and there are a bunch of them. Just an objective text name in different forms creates imagination and possibilities!?
Graphic Design - Monogram & Business Card
Create a design of interlocking typographic forms by using different typefaces, and look at the range of shapes that occur within the same letters.
This is a fun practice and I realized how much fun just texts can produce. Designing business card by inserting the art of name initials (monograms) is definitely eye catching.
Graphic Design - Connotative Image Making
And then some optional challenges - three connotative image makings which tell stories.
Graphic Design - Denotative Image Making
My first Graphic Design assignment is Done! My ten denotative image makings of different techniques. Finally I decided to take the advantage of limited offer $199/yr signing up Google’s Couresera and enrolled my first designer course in a hope to prepare myself for my next dream career.
