    I found the design blitz to be difficult because it was hard for me to find already made designs that inhabited these different design concepts (color, typography, minimalism, etc.). However, all of the designs I found ended up being posters on campus, so here is what I found and why each one is representative of […]

    September 30, 2019
    I decided to create my DesignBlitz around my house. I chose to focus on my animals and decorations around the house. There are ten concepts that I learned about within reading this design resource page. The ten concepts are color, typography, metaphors/symbols, minimalism & use of space, form/function/message, balance, rhythm, proportion, dominance, and unity. I decided to pick 5 of the ten to focus on within my photos below. The five I chose are: rhythm, dominance, color, balance, and typography. My favorite picture taken was the Balance picture with the beer and coke cans. I think all my designs were

    For this project I chose; color, metaphors/symbols, minimalism, and dominant. Color: For this part of the blitz, I wanted to find palette and try to create a small variation in colors. This was a project I did last fall semester in one of my art classes, so creating a color palette online was so much […]

    This week’s main assignment took us on a path to learn more about the do’s and don’ts of design. We were asked to carry around our cameras and take pictures of a few designs that we felt were an example of one of the 10 design concepts we learned about. For my four pictures, I…

    For this assignment, we had to take several photos that we felt represented four of the concepts of design that were discussed on the sight, and in order, I decided to use my photos to discuss minimalism and typography, contrast, color, and finally dominance, with the moon-like planet and the starship leaning in for a […]

    June 2, 2019
    Earlier this week, I decided to take pictures of the gym I go to. While I was there, I realized that the gym is a perfect example of the design concept, Rythm/Pattern. The gym is divided into different sections, depending on the type of exercises. There is an abs section, the weights, cardio, stretching, etc. […]

    This is a photo of the chandelier that is above my kitchen table. This chandelier represents the design concept, Unity. Trent Sizemore has a blog post about the different elements of design. In the post, he mentions that “[an example of unity] could be separated into each part as its own piece, but together they […]

    This is the sign of a restaurant called East Ocean. I decided to use this photo to talk about the design concepts, Color and Typography. The letters are in dark blue. I am assuming that the designer of the sign chose to make the letters blue because of the name of the restaurant. Though I […]

    Earlier this week, I went to an ice cream place called, Moo Thru. The name title on the building reminds me of the Metaphors and Symbols concept. The main symbol of the sign is the cartoon cow’s head. Its eyes resemble the O’s in “Moo”. The bottom of the U in “Thru” has a cow […]

    I was happy to see at the beginning of the week that we were assigned another blitz. The photography blitz was a lot of fun, and I definitely learned a lot about photography through it. The design blitz was a little different, since it had us take pictures throughout the week instead of all at […]

    Design Time

    Typography is a form of design that arranges typed words into an art form. For this beautiful picture above, the artist used the quote “Nothing is impossible, the word itself says I’m possible.” to create a poster of Aubrey Hepburn. This worked extremely well because it used the art form and her own quote to make the piece. Dominance is the focal point of an image. The entire photograph above scrams dominance. But her eyes are the dominant element. Colors are a huge part of peoples lives. They hold meaning and tell stories. These colors above represent America and everything that we stand for as a country. Minimalism is a beautiful art form. This book above is a perfect example of how an extremely simple design can stand out so much.
