05/04 - 05/08/20 - Principle of Design - Unity
Due Sunday, May10 pm 11:59pm
Why is Unity Important? If your design isn't unified, then it's disjointed. The ultimate goal in graphic design is to communicate a message so if you don't have strong unity in your design then the communication is hindered. No matter how beautiful your graphics are, if there's not some type of unity bringing them together then the design will ultimately fail in it's goal. Unity ties all the elements in your design together making it feel complete like each element in your design should belong there. You never want to have a design that has no real focus with elements placed randomly. You can think of unity in graphic design as a type of branding, something instantly recognizable. Companies often use color to unify every element of their business, whether it's for the logo, website or even in the store. Target is a great example of this because they use the color red for their website, logo, throughout their entire store and even the employee uniforms. The color red is the element that unifies the entire company together. Imagine if you walked into Target and everything in the store was green, you'd probably have to take a step back and make sure you walked into the right store, because you're so used to seeing Target as red.

05/04 - 05/08/20 - Principle of Design - Variety
Due Sunday, May10 pm 11:59pm
Variety is the principle of art that adds interest to an artwork. Variety works through juxtaposition and contrast. When an artist places different visual elements next to one another, he/she is using variety. Straight lines next to curvy lines add variety. Organic shapes among geometric shapes add variety. Bright colors next to dull colors add variety. Note: If an artist uses variety to draw the viewers attention to a specific area in a composition then variety morphs into emphasis, also a principle of art. Principles of art bleed into one another. They overlap. Kennard Lilly's website background uses a variety of colors and shapes to create interest, while also placing emphasis on the primary text content.

04/28/20 - Principles of Design - Emphasis
If all the elements are given relatively equal weight, there will be no emphasis. You can lead that viewer all through your garden, through your building, through your advertisement, or through your painting, but if you don’t stop that viewer with one point of interest, then you’ve lost your viewer. The emphasis in a design is the message that you want to convey.

04/28/20 - Principles of Design - Contrast
Due by Friday, May 1.
Interaction of contradictory elements. Expresses the duality seen in opposites. Without values, you can’t create contrast. Without smoothness or roughness (or the illusion of those textures), you aren’t dealing with contrast. You can use various design elements to create contrast. Without contrast there would be no day or night and without contrast you cannot create an interesting design. Examples: Large & Small, rough & smooth, thick & thin, light & dark, organic & geometric. Like it or not, we live in a world full of contrast. There are differences between tall and short, black and white, young and old, female and male, living and dead, organized and chaos, hard and soft, sky and ground, good and evil and so on. |

2/3/20 ID Package
Project Details:
You should examine your logo, color choices, image themes and the nature of your imaginary business, service or organization. Expand on these elements and design elements that are complimentary. Good identity package designs will accentuate the logo without detracting from it. Create a design for each of the elements listed below. Create a new document in Illustrator or Photoshop for each element, then combine to create a preview:
Create a new document in Illustrator or Photoshop. Create a custom sized file, or try one of the many presets listed. Place your logo in your document and design elements and use colors that compliment your logo design. Create the 4 different designs, then combine in 1 file to create a preview. Add a slight drop shadow and a fake desktop background. |

1/27/20 The final logo
Due Sunday, February 2 at 11:59 pm.
Step 1
Study your 2 sets of 5 logos from your sketches assignment.
Now, determine which one of the five thumbnails for each set, best represents something about you.
Now you have 3 winners.
Step 2
From the 3 winners, decide which one best represents your company over all. This is the logo you will build in
Illustrator/Photoshop. You will need to include the company name in the design, so you will want to sketch some more
arrangements. Remember that there are 5 categories of logos. Sketch a few solutions using either a combination mark, an emblem and a lettermark.
Step 3
Once you decide which logo version you like the best, you will build it in illustrator/photoshop.
I am looking for overall creativity. Relevance to your company lists. Technical ability with Illustrator.
Gradient tool, masks, and type selection, drop shadows, color theory etc.
How it looks matters, but so does the technical aspects. All shapes need to be closed. Curves need to be made by properly bending the line, not a string of 5000 points. Use gradient fills when possible.
Did you use a mask?
Employ the skills that you have learned through all of the exercises that you completed.

When you click on the image with the type tool, Photoshop will add a new layer to your layers palatte. layer I strongly suggest you name it after the part of the face you are trying to represent i.e. R pupil, or L eyelash, etc.
This will make it easier to find in the layer later if you need to.
Manipulation Options:
Character Palette: (on right side of screen)
Change Font Families
Change Font Size
Change Font Style
Scale Font Horizontally or Vertically
Edit > Transform (From the Menu Bar)
Scale – make the item larger or smaller
Rotate – change the angle of the item
Skew – slide the top to the right or left while the bottom stays fixed
Warp – change any side or corner independantly
Flip Horizontal/Vertical
You will need to experiment with each selection until you find one `that you think best fits the
portrait.
7. Move the font into place:
You can move your font into place over your portrait using the Move Tool ( the black arrow and the first tool in the tool box on the left side of your screen) or by clicking inside the box and moving the font over into position.

Process:
1. Brainstorm images that may be successful as a typographic work of art. Be mindful to think about composition on a small 8x10 inch page. What will work well that has a balance of not too much and not too little detail? 2. Once you decide on your celebrity/famous person, create a list of at least 40 descriptive words that tell this person’s story, what they stand for or represent. These are words that we will include in our composition. 3. Start by exploring different fonts. Study the letters in each alphabet to identify certain characteristics that will suit your portrait. Also explore the subject's face and all the shapes that you find in the face, eyes; really any relevant part. 4. You may use as many fonts or styles of fonts that you would like. You may also just stick to one if it lends itself to your imagery. 5. Color may be used or it can be in black and white for greater impact (shades of black may be used). 6. Your Composition must include the Elements of Value and Line and the Principles of Balance, Contrast and Unity 7. Use your chosen fonts and letterforms to design your image. |
