Shape modules

Organic shape; more detail and more natural they also have more of curvy lines and the shapes you see are natural they are simple but generic shapes. For the coffee that meant defining the cup and the handle and the plate and the coffee its self even the steam coming from the coffee.

Geometric shapes; are what smart people see.. they are the basic shape everything is made out of if it is squares, circles, triangles or even lines. For my cup of coffee that meant there was lots of circles and ellipses for the coffee and the cup and the plates and the coffee bean, but for the steam it was difficult making it look like it was actually coming off the coffee and not standing on the coffee.

 

 Ambiguous shapes; is the contrast between the actual shape and the space and shapes that surround the actual shape to make it what it is. the ambiguous shape i used was the steam.. there was the steam but the shapes and the contrast around the steam is what made the steam pop out.

      Balance Modular 
Asymmetrical balance: the peace sign to the left has a large peace sign drawing your attention, but then there are 2 little peace signs that are placed in the top left corner that keeps the attention also and bringing the piece together are the zigzags going across the page. The gray scale of the peace signs also draw your attention to each of the peace signs differently.
     Symmetrical balance: peace signs to the left  are even and set the same space apart on the page and the colors are balance. and the colors also are balanced on each square. All of the Squares correspond to each other.this one took some time to get the colors to contrast without blending into each other. 

 Radial Balance: you see the center Peace sign but that is not the first thing that draws your attention. you look around and see the little peace sign and they start out really dark almost black along the edge of the page and lead you to the center by descending size and descending the shade in color from darker to a lighter shade till it reaches the center of the Peace and it is the largest peace sign which is the most important. 

Intro to 2-D design
      - First assignment was walking the campus of Maryville college. To find the unity between the buildings and finding what draws the most attention. I fond that all paths lead certain places like the library and the distance between all the buildings were similar.  and what visual perspectives draw attention to us the quickest. which visual perspectives does the outside world view the most important? we found that we thought the Clayton centers stole the attention on campus, but the Anderson building is viewed by the public as most important. maybe because it is the oldest building? 
       - But off campus i used my work at food city and the stores idea is to draw the customers attention. The stores front is very big has big black windows and you walk in the store it is really bright and every sign is big and attention grabbing.
