This week I experimented with various styles connected to graphics. By doing this, my art abilities have developed as I looked at techniques I have never used before. The first thing we did while in graphics class was explore different fonts. Although type design appears quite plain and simple, it is interesting as the slightest change to fonts can altar the whole look of the word and any thing associated with it (e.g. a poster). I've never found type design interesting but after experimenting, I am now looking more into how simple aspects of design can suddenly change an appearance. After testing out fonts and their colours and sizes, I designed a small poster including words that describe my future hopes. By using multiple words, this allowed me to design around them as put attention on composition and style.
The other project we had to complete was to make a poster that would be displayed in my exhibition. The first project inspired my second as I continued the same colours. I wanted to keep it simple but used bright colours to draw attention to the poster. I included fashion illustrations as well as the variety of texts in the same colour so there is a connection between the image and the description (viewers can understand that the poster is about fashion). Making this has allowed me to increase my skills and knowledge of design and now have confidence when creating something in a subject I'm not concerned with. This week I've learn't much more about graphics and am more interested in the process of designing.
