Part 1
Look at this poster. Respond in a short paragraph with your analysis of the following:
Is there a grid in this poster? If so, elaborate
Talk about the alignment
Talk about the number of colors
Talk about the number of fonts
How many different sizes of type are there?
What do you notice about the symmetry/asymmetry?
Does the treatment of visual elements create a pleasant/sophisticated presentation?
Write your analysis down. Do some research and find another Swiss-type poster similar to this. Embed the poster you found and find similarities and differences between them.
Come back and respond to two friends. Talk about their findings and say what you find interesting in them.
Peer post 1. Yes their is a grid. The lines that are creating the heaxgons help to create the grid. The main set a words are aglined to the right with the first letter starts in the middle. The second set of words is aliged to the left with smaller text. Their are three colors Red, Black, and Cream. It has one constant font. Their is three to four different type of font sizes. Their is a mix of symmetry and asymmetry the shapes are creating asymmetry but the words are creating symmtery. It does create pleasant/sophisticated it shows off the skills of the desginer. Similaries:
The color patellate is very similar
font ans text Differences:
The design
The way the words are placed on the page Peer post 2.
Yes, there is a grid in this poster. We know that there is a grid because of how the points of each hexagon align with one another. The hexagons are aligned side by side with one another while alternating colors. There are three colors: red, black, and an off-white. These colors work against each other, offering a visually interesting form of contrast. There is only one font that is being used in this poster. However, there are also varying sizes (3 sizes) for specific lines of text in order to organize information. The shapes on the poster are symmetrical. However, the symmetry breaks when the design reaches the edge of the page, making the design unpredictable. This poster gives off a sophisticated feel because of the colors chosen and its simple design. The poster above is similar to the example because they both share symmetrical attributes and follow a grid. There are 3 colors: black, beige, and orange. Much like the example poster, the colors chosen to offer a unique sense of contrast. The pattern is predictable because unlike the example poster, there is no deviation from symmetry. There is one font, but two variations in size. Much like the example, it offers a sophisticated but simple feel.
Part 2
Post an interesting design that you saw (either in person or online) and write a little paragraph about why you found it to be interesting. The visual can be an ad, a billboard, a poster, basically any kind of a designed image (find 2 design) (a paragraph for each)
