Instruction Diagram Precedents

This instruction diagram on how to draw a rose leads the view through the process with a series of images. The creator number the steps in order, though the intended flow of the page is easy to understand. I think that this is a somewhat clear breakdown of the process and is simple to follow 

This is a sheet of instructions for constructing oa paper crane. It consists of some text, but mostly images,. The creator of the layout chose not to show human interaction with the paper, showing only each change made to the paper. The number system for the steps fades away to a thick line your eye is to follow through the order.

This movie poster, like most movie posters,  puts the name at the top of the hierarchy, followed by an image to draw in the viewer, and then the information about the movie in smaller text. This poster's use of a complementary color scheme and clear order makes it an effective composition. 

This composition draws attention the name of the festival first and then allows your eye to travel to the names of the artist playing and down to the date of the festival. I think this poster is effective at expressing all of its information.

Header Project

In our class we had to make a header for a class mate that accurately reflected their style, and they had to do the same for us...

This is the one Matt made for me. He made it more organic and shape and colorful to represent me. I like how it turned out :)

This was my rough draft for Matt's name tag

Matt has a more contemporary style than my own. Judging by his past projects, I noticed his love of simplicity and wood working. This is what I ended up with. I cut the wood in the wood shop to slide into the wood base and added a few grooves to let the light in when it sat on his desk. I stained the wood a darker cherry to suit his preference, and burned his name into the wood.

Concept:

A Coconut Cupcake

 

Related to the Principles of Design: 

Proportion: The cupcake itself is an individual proportion. It is meant for one person to enjoy.

Balance: The icing balances the cupcake and makes it evenly divided

Unity: The cupcake is made up of multiple parts. Many ingredients come together to create the cake. Then there is the icing and the coconut topping. However, they all come together to create a unique blend of flavors, and only with this unity can it be a coconut cupcake.

Emphasis: The emphasis on this particular cupcake is the coconut. It's what makes this cupcake different from others.

Rhythm: The ribbing of the wrapper provides a nice rhythm for the cupcake, as well as the swirl on top. It's a rhythm I know and love and can associate with a cupcake when I see something similar.

Related to the Elements of Design:

Space:

Line: The only defined lines come from the ribbing on the wrapper, straight lines that contrast the rounded form on the cupcake.

Color: The colors in a coconut cupcake are light; yellow, cream and a toasty tan.

Value: There isn't much change in value in a coconut cupcake. There is a more analogous relationship between colors than a complementary one, so little contrast in color.

Form: The cupcake has a sweet and rounded form, dictated by the container it is cooked in.

Shape: The shape of a cupcake is rounded on the top and sides with a flat bottom to rest on.

Texture: The texture of a coconut cupcake is the best part. The base is moist and fluffy, the icing is soft and thick, and the coconut on top is irregular and stringy.
