Calligrame Project

 

My calligram for this project was a butterfly. Although a butterfly is quite a basic idea I wanted to use a butterfly for its significance. When searching up what butterflies symbolize, I saw that it said that they mean transformation, rebirth, hope, endurance, and love just to name a few. In my letter I talked about how I hope that I've grown from how I was in college. I also talk about what I imagine I'll be doing in my career when I hit 40. It was hard for me to think about what I wanted to say to my future self since 20 years is so far away that I don't even know what I'll be doing tomorrow. I used the pen tool to outline the lines from my sketch and then after that I used the type on path tool to put my text into the outline.

BW to Color

  The picture that I chose for this project was a picture of me at a concert that I went to in the beginning of October. I feel this perfectly represents being connected to the world around you and also to the people around you. When you go to concerts everyone is going because they like the artist who's performing. For my colored photos I decided to go with double-split complimentary, split complimentary, and square. I didn't really put much thought as to why I chose these but they were colors that I feel like really popped out in comparison to the colors that you see in the original photo.

For my business cards, I wanted to go with a simple yet groovy design. I just used the pen tool to make the background shapes. For the colors I tend to gravitate to more pastel shades. The font I used was called Modak-Devanagari. I liked that it was cool but you could still be able to read the words.

Propaganda Poster

Image
My propaganda poster advocates for loving one another. I feel like especially now with the conflict between Israel and Gaza we must remember that love can conquer all. In my poster I wanted to use red as the base since the color is common in propaganda posters. For the hearts I chose different shades of pink since pink is another color to represent love. I also put white hearts in my poster. White symbolizes purity and peace which I feel like fits with my theme and overall message for the poster.
