Fundamentals of Design Emily Gomez

 

For this project, it wasn’t that hard to do since I was able to use my creativity for the random words. For the first one I chose the word falling so I could manipulate the word and make it become reality as I move the letters around as if it was falling. This word was easy to do. I just had to make the last few letters fall down and have equal space within each other. For this second choice, I used the word smile. It reminded me of the dentists office named hello smile so I decided to make a smile to replace the letter L. It was easy to do since I just had to type a smile and move it vertically so the person can still read the word. For the third choice, I used the word around so I can manipulate the letters to make it go around like how the word tells them to. This word was a bit difficult  to do since I chose different words that have the same meaning as the word around. But I decided with the word around and made the letters move around like a clock, later then I put a dot in t...

The process of this project and the designs that were made were complicated to finish. I say this because I didn’t really have an idea of what to do for all the principles I was supposed to make. It would have been easier if we used shapes, but since we had to use letters and numbers it was a bit challenging. My creativity started decreasing since this project started since I had no clue on what to do. The first artwork shows closure as I used  stars for this piece, as it is different from regular stars since it was made with the letter “V” to shape it into a star. I used the corners to make a star and made four more in different sizes so it can scatter around the canvas. For the second artwork, it shows Similarity. I did this using the letter “L” repeatedly until I used a different letter as “J” . I did this because I wanted it to be like a spot the difference type of thing, but also to try to perceive visual elements. For the third artwork it shows proximity. I put different lett...

My reaction to InDesign and digital type design was not that bad since I have done computer fundamentals in my first year as a freshman. The difficult part was to figure out what random words to use since it had to be related in some way. The first example wasn’t so hard since the teacher showed us how to maneuver the website and on what specific work we were supposed to do. The second example, I had to do it on my own and figure out what words to use. I used the words that has a similar suffix which was “ness”. It was also similar to the common words that showed emotion. I used a small blue box to make the spaces in between every word have the same measurements and to make sure it was all even. For the third example I just did the five stages of grief since I didn’t know what to do, but it also reminded me of that one line in “Cruella” and I did them in the same format about the blue box. The last example shows months because I also didn’t know what else to do. In conclusion, the desi...

      InDesign Thoughts  Designers use the Adobe program for faster developments as it can handle long passages, multiple pages, large sizes, over-type fonts, subtle manipulation including alternate characters which are used without difficulty as it works precisely and efficiently, but also fast enough to get the work done.  Designers use the Adobe program for more complex and unique designs that are difficult to make by hand or in a regular program as they can be used for magazines, blogs, newspapers, flyers, posters, business cards, brochures and more as it can create templates to help the user out.  Designers need the layouts for their projects since they can control the fonts, text and overall page composition along with the key that will look good on the final presentation if its on digital or on paper.  The designers have many tools and options in Adobe to choose from in order to be precise over their design elements and make it look efficient en...
