Wizard of Oz Poster

Oz Poster

Contrast:

     My attempt at contrasting with size, color, and font turned out fairly well in my opinion. With the fairly dark background I decided to use a light colors for the text so it could stand out against the page. When dealing with size I made the word "OZ" as large as possible. This was because "OZ" is a very iconic word for this story and it's the word in the title that has the most interest and gets the idea across the quickest. I made "WIZARD" slightly smaller because it was the second most important word in the title. I used mostly two fonts that looked fairly similar in order to cause just enough contrast between the title and the information to be noticeable but not to the point where it was distracting. Everything dealing with contrast was done in moderation to make it pleasing to the eye but still stand out.

Alignment:

     The main idea is in the title thus it went right in the middle as the center of everything. Every other piece of information except the credits is center aligned in order to keep the focus around the title. The credits are down in the bottom right corner for two reasons. The first is because it is less important to the viewer since it doesn't hold any major information for the play. It should the the last part you see if you see it at all. The second is for the sake of contrast against the dark green background. Other than that everything centers around the word "OZ."

Repetition:

     With the use of only two fonts it makes a nice repeating pattern of font in relation to importance. The title and theatre group are all in the font Marion, while all the smaller information is in Optima. Along with repetition in font there's also repetition in color. There are only 3 general colors: Green, gold, and white. Everything was chosen with a purpose and with a pattern.

Proximity:

     The word "OZ" is not only in the middle for alignment. It's also there so it can be centered in the blank space between the yellow brick roads. Those bricks highlight the word "OZ" and help out with both contrast and alignment.  The background image of the characters is approximately in the center as well, just behind the "OZ." Everything is placed with the yellow bricks in mind.

Final Blog

Final Blog For one project, we had to create a poster design, postcard design, and ticket design for a music concert or art show. I picked a music concert of one of my favorite musicians, Regina Spektor. It took me a long time; I believe it was around three weeks of work. I ended up getting behind while working on the vector portrait of her, but I’m proud of how it turned out. It was difficult to catch up and keep up. However, learning how to use adobe better was a good experience. Overall, I like this project, and so did my table partner. I did have to adjust the ticket design due to it being boring with just Regina, so I added the flowers. The poster is my favorite, mostly because you can see the vector graphic the best in that one.   In this project, we had to create a card design for some occasion. For mine, I decided to make a design for my dad’s 50th birthday and for my brother’s high school graduation. It took me a couple weeks, but I was actually ahead ...

SketchUp Project

SketchUp was quite the interesting program. It was easy for me to handle the basics due to having previous experience with it. There were difficulties later on in the project. Occasionally there would be some problems with the measurements of the windows and roof. Near the end I was extremely confused on what our instructor meant by seamless textures. I thought it was referring to the black outlines not being there so I worked for a long time trying to figure out how to make my project "seamless." I finally came to the instructor and found out seamless textures are just imported repeatable patterns of bricks, wood, and any other material that our house might have. Overall the project was enjoyable. This will be my last animation project until potentially fourth quarter. If I do pick animation as one of my classes next year I'm hoping for frame by frame 2D animation. The plans were difficult for me to work with as it would have been handy if they provided meas...

Performance Review

Performance Landscape Man We were assigned to photoshop images over his jacket and shirt to create a "Landscape Man," as it was called. This took around a week of class, but I came in a lot during lunch and after school to get it finished, since I was behind. I had a whole lot of difficulty in remembering how to use different tools of photoshop. With doing that, I had to relearn a lot of photoshop tools, so that was incredibly difficult. After I finished, I did get compliments, mostly due to its difference from most other projects. Most people were using forest scenes or nature, but I couldn't work with that, so I went with a cityscape. I really like this one, actually. It has such bright colors and contrast, so this really appeals to my favorite color palettes. Panorama This project was a panorama of photographs that follow a certain theme. My theme was childhood memories. We spent around two weeks in class, I believe, but I took a while and had to spend time ...
