Color Creates Mood. Draws Attention To Key Elements

I decided to use a stop sign. First off, the color of the stop sign is bright red. I assume that the reason why a stop sign is read is to capture the drivers attention. As the quote above said, “draws attention to key elements.” The stop sign is indeed a key element when it comes to driving. Missing a stop sign can lead to fatal outcomes, so I believe that a stop sign is a good display of color.

Typography

The Visual Component Of A Word

I know this is very feminine, but the Always writing was something that I always foundĀ intriguing. First of all it uses some type of cursive, but it’s not regular old cursive. This type of cursive doesn’t connect all of the letters, it only connects to at a time.Ā Ā For example the AL is connected, the WA is connected, but the Y and the S stand alone. Although, it’s a weird type of cursive, the way it looks is perfect. Something about the writing style captures your attention and it makes you wonder why it is the way it is.

 

Metaphors/Symbols

Using Symbols to Represent Objects, Things, and Ideas

 

This is one of my favorite shirts. I got it about 2 month after Michael Jackson died. This shirt’s creativity is simple but amazing at the same time. First of all, the shirt only says “Michael Jackson” but the A in Michael, and the S in Jackson are very different. The creators of this shirt uses images of Michael Jackson to display letters. In my opinion, those images make the shirt so much more attractive. When I wear this shirt, people STILL to this day, compliment me on how cute my shirt is.

 

Minimalism / Use of Space

Doing Less With More

 

This is my flat screen t.v with a dvd player attached. Now no more than 20 years ago, Tv’s had big backs and most times you had to buy a dvd player separate from your tv. But now, in 2012, they have flat screen tv’s with dvd’s connected. I think this is one of the best inventions ever. Not only does the tv take up less space, but it is easy to carry and I don’t have to buy a separate dvd player.
