1. I like the font because it is simple and it's a sans serif font. Sans serif fonts will go nicely with my logo design because it is slick and not over stylish. However, I think it might be on the longer side. I would prefer it if it's a little bit shorter.

2. I really like the second font among the five. I want to use this as the main font for my logos because it is simple yet very effective if I combined it with my logo. 

3. Like the first and second fonts it is also a sans serif type font. However, it is too short which I don't like

4. I wanted to explore a different kind of font but not be too stylish. So I tried using a serif-style font. I quite like it. I think it suits well with the company I am doing.

5. Another serif-style font but, I think this one is not it. The font is not as slick and simple as the previous one.

Art Design 3.1 and 3.2 Part B catch up

This blog post is for catching up on all the things that I missed in term 2. I am catching up on 3.1 and 3.2 parts b because I am currently very behind at it.

In this blog post, we are asked to make use of three to five colour palette from blogpost 2 and print or paint a paper. We are then asked to cut simple shapes using these papers using the ideas that we have. 

• Repetition

• Positive and negative space

• Framing

• Cropping

• Scale

• Layering

This one on the left is the first illustration that I made. I am doing a luxury clothing company for men as a corporate. Because of this I want the posters to look elegant, bold, masculine and stylish. So I made a tiger using colours and cut-up shapes to somewhat resemble a tiger. I also deliberately made the tiger pose that way. It supposes to look like it's growling and it's facing its back to the viewer. So the colour of the stripes would intimidate. I used the colours black gold and white to portray the elegance of the clothing company, to portray luxury. I think that using gold as the colour for the stripes of the tiger makes it much more elegant and stylish. I believe that this illustration showed different techniques of design. Such as repetition, layering, and scale. Repetition is achieved by using the stripes, the repetition of lines and the colour I used. layering was achieved through how I layered the text and the colours of the paper. Finally, scale is achieved by how I much I made the tiger bigger than the rest of the elements I used so that the viewer could focus their attention on it first rather than the text.

This is the second Illustration that I made. Like how I said in the first one. I want it to look elegant, bold, masculine and stylish. This illustration was supposed to be a luxury car like a Ferarri or Porsche leaving the scene, like a gala or a ball. That is the idea of this illustration. The road was supposed to be covered in golden leaves and scatter as the car passes by leaving behind a trail of golden leaves floating in the air. that is how I imagined it. In this illustration, I also used black, white and gold to portray the luxury and elegance theme.

What are some basic geometric shapes that worked well with your company name and idea so far?Some basic geometric shapes that worked well with my company are circles. Because I am doing a luxury brand for men, I want a more stylish look and elegance. As I developed my company logo I noticed that the shape of the sun ties in with my company name which is "Lumiere" meaning light in french. So I decided to work on the shape of the sun and create more variations of it.

How can I include these shapes in these drawings? - I am making a logo based on the sun. Because the sun is round, I am using a circle for the shape of the sun and rectangles with a curved point to create the flares of the sun.

 Traditional

• Focal point - The focal point of this poster is the circle in the middle. This is obviously the poster's focal point because it is the most significant element in the poster. Because it's the largest element the person who is viewing the poster will direct their eyes onto the circle in the middle
• Leading Lines - In the poster, I believe I can't see any leading lines. However, there is this white inside the circle that gives the interpretation as a source of light. Because of this, it will the eyes of the viewers in the circle.
• Use of colour - This poster's use of colour is quite easy to understand. The artist used orange and blue as the colours of the circle and black as the background. Because the background is black the circle in the middle stands out more and makes the colours orange and blue more vibrant. I also think that the artist used orange and blue to make a meaning perhaps to create an illusion and make it appear as a source of light. 
• Use of repetitive elements- In the poster the only thing that is repeated is the use of circles. Beneath the circle in the middle is another circle. It looks like a reflection of the circle in the middle. Because of this, it makes me think that the circle in the middle is above a water source and is reflecting on it.
• Use of typography - the use of typography here is quite cool. the texts in the posters separate the circle in the middle and the circle beneath it. I also think that the artist used the text as the horizon line for the water source.

Contemporary

• Focal point -  It was really hard to tell what is the focal point of this poster. But, the focal point of the poster is the text "London". This is because of how the elements of the poster are arranged. In the poster, there are many things going on bad the thing that stands out is the text "London". The squares shapes and lines lead to the text. It is also the largest element in the poster and the font it has (Bold sans-serif).
• Leading lines - The poster does have a lot of lines because it has a lot of shapes. The shapes specifically the squares, kindly make out a gridline for the rule of thirds. This is clever for the artist because the text "London" is positioned in one of the intersections of a rule of thirds grid.
• Use of colour - The poster has a black and white monochromatic colour scheme with a red background. The artist used red as the background to make the blacks and whites pop
• Use of repetitive elements - The artist used a repetition of shapes and colours. He used rectangles as a frame. If you look closely at the poster you can see that all of the text and pictures are in a rectangular frame. Each of these rectangles provides meaning. The artist also used repetition of black and white to highlight the important bits in the frame like the text.
• Use of Typography - In the poster there is a lot of typography. The typography in this poster is very important because it is the one that provides hints of what the artist is trying to say. For example where the event is and what time it starts. "London" and "8:59 am".

• Focal point - The focal point of this poster is the text in bold "Design". This is the focal point of the poster because of how much takes space up in the canvas/poster. It is significantly larger than the other texts.  
• Leading lines - In this poster, I think the artist did not use much of leading lines, he used typography to show what the poster is about. 
• Use of colour - The artist used the colours brown, red, black and white. He used brown as a background and red white and black as the colour of the text. This is a good contrast for the background it makes the typography easy to see and makes it pop.
• Use of repetitive elements - In the poster, the repetitive use of typography is very significant because the artist makes different fonts.
• Use of typography - He used the fonts he created for his own typography in the poster. He used typography to promote his own art style and type of making a poster
