Semester Reflection
Over this semester I have been able to use illustrator and photoshop better than I previously was able to. The class has probably taught me more than I would have ever been able to learn about graphic design without it. I enjoy the class and being able to get better from the assignments that we do, each going over a different part of graphic design, would have been boring is we kept on going over the same stuff for each assignment. I don't really feel like there needs to be anything changed I think the class is great the way it is, and I'm not the most knowledgeable about all the parts of graphic design so whatever we do is fine.
Review Week #17
Have you learned something? (Who Shot the Serif article)
From the article I have learned that serif is actually the ends of letters. Which can be compared to giving a letter legs.Also that there are two main types of Serfis: Adnate and Abrupt. Adnate is more organic, an example is that the serifs join the stems. Abrupt is more rigid and square, cutting off at the edges. Sanserif was made before serif, making a question about how did sanserif originate if it was before serif.

Acts a a visual key that ties a piece together
What are ways that you can incorporate repetition into your designs?
bold font,thick lines,color
What should you avoid when working with repetition?
NOt to be to repetitive
What is the principle of proportion/scale?
The relative size and scale of the various elements in a design

An unusual or unexpected scale
What is the principle of balance?
Distribution of heavy and light elements on a page
Which kinds of elements/shapes visually weigh heavier/greater?
Large elements look heavies than smaller elements

Shape
In this picture it show a simple figure of a man with a brown background. It shows a certain space with the figure of a man. This design is similar to a logo that shows "men only" like a bathroom sign.
In this design lines are used in a way, so that you know it is a puzzle. With out them it would just be a blank white picture that you would think there is nothing on it. The lines make it easy to get the message from what the picture is displaying.
The texture in this picture you could see that it is wood from the lines and appearance of it. You can tell that it is cut into 3 blocks and 4 sections.
Space
In the picture the the couch and plant is the positive space. Also the picture has a window with light shinning into part of the room, so you are able to see the shadows of the plant and couch.
Value
The picture shown uses emphases on the word "dubstep". By using darkness and brightness in the pictures's colors in a way that is sticks out more than the rest of the design.
