Gestalt Letters 6/10

 




Closure: 
The first design shows Closure as I used O's to create a design that would show a figure and an X with white color to show negative space and create an opening. Closure means  people will fill in blanks to perceive a complete object whenever an external stimulus partially matches that object. This shows Closure as mentally and visually, our eyes tend to close the O and create a circle in our minds despite it being incomplete, which the X creates in the overall design. I used the letter O since it was easy to cut up and still be able to see the shape of a circle. 

Continuity: 
The second design shows Continuity because I used the letter S to create wavy lines that show a continuous line. Continuity means we are more likely to see continuous and smooth flowing lines rather than broken or jagged ones. I placed S's overlapping each other to establish that look and makes wave-like lines which was inspired by a friend of mine and that's what I wanted to demonstrate abstractly. It was simple to use the letter S to be able to show a smooth line without any problem.  This is why this design shows Continuity since this flows smoothly and shows no rough lines and consistency.  

Similarity: 
The third design consists of D's and S's overlapping each other and creates a design similar to a semi-circle with a line inside of it. Similarity means when items share some visual characteristic, they are assumed to be related in some way. Using this to create a design, I decided to reflect it and creates this pill-shaped like design and made one of them a bit smaller to show the design and how the smaller one is similar since it uses the same design but sizing is different. Using D's and S's was easy to overlap and make a unique abstract design. 


Proximity: 
The last design shows Proximity as it shows how each of the small designs are connected to each other and using A's and X's since I overlapped and placed my small design horizontally and decided to reflect it to make a continuous design and repeated that process four times to fill up the whole page. Proximity means when visually group similar or related items together to emphasize their relationship. It was easy to create a small design and then placing them next to each other to show a close relationship between them. It was also simple to overlap A's  and X's since they have similar lines and structure. This is why this shows Proximity.

3 Letters (2nd. Ver) 3/30

  Reflection:  While creating this typography design for the second time around, I did not give any of these letters meaning but I did want to practice using a sharp letter which is the A in Bodoni (Modern) font style, a O in Baskerville (Transitional) font style and an X in the Helvetica (San Serifs) font style as well. I wanted to work on making precise lines with the A and have the correct sizing from the cap line to the base line. I did the O in attempts of getting the angle or stress slanted inside of the O. As for the X, I wanted to also work on the correct overlapping of the two lines that make up the X. The A is an uppercase and the O & X are lowercase.

3 letters 3/22

  Reflection:  When I was in the process of creating this abstract typography assignment, I thought about creating a meaningful piece of art work, although I will be creating another piece but as of now, I chose the letters B, A, and M. I had chosen them for no specific reason but I really wanted to draw a B to symbolize my initial from my first name. I was satisfied with the placement of the A since it created a grid-like base for the other two letters. I also chose the M because I thought about the word “Mom” and decided to just draw the letter M rather than my mother’s first initial since I really liked the M in the Bodoni (Modern) font. Therefore that’s what the three letters symbolize for me and what they stand for in my artwork.

Reflection:  In my InDesign assignment, I used terms that relate to Design because it was simple and effective to differentiate how the words look in capitals and different sizes. The spacing in between the margins and the words make a huge difference because it creates a uniform look and very pleasing to the eye. As the first time using InDesign, I was familiar with it as I've used Photoshop before which is similar but less focused on typography therefore it was easy to navigate around the settings and buttons. Overall, it was a great experience with creating this work and using InDesign.
