Typography #5

It looks like a matrix with lot of letters, opposite colors black and orange, looked confused, but that’s what I want for my word RUN.

Just one hint, click on the image for better resolution, you may get something with it, confused U.

Typography #4

The first idea is put the circle on the word MUSCLE, an overweighing like. After that, I have idea of different angle for this word, and two sides black and white.

Typography #3

Just to bring some feel of wind to this word, letter F and T are bigger to create a small hedge.

Typography #2

I use both text and shape for this, to represent the expansion. The color is dark feeling except the last letter “n”. The size of letter is increased gradually from small size to bigger size. The rectangles are also resized (both white box and thin black box)

Typography #1

Two opposite color is used to emphasize emotion, annoyance feeling. Every word is put next together, some overlays, some is resized, giving an unbalance felling.

GESTALT #2

I want to use the white background to represent a soft feeling when reading. I also use light color for typography. I apply closure for my flowers through the edge of the paper. The second column, I don’t position at the same horizontal line as the first one, this composition may make reader more convenient to follow.

GESTALT #1

The word "PLANTS" is positioned at the bottom, after the vertical line “the secret sex life of”, represent a continue of direction. I also blur the column of text, to emphasize the flower.

The beauty

Yes, a beauty. This looks like a beauty, isn’t it? Standing at the corner, covered by soft and smooth shadow. And I edit some elements to emphasis; add more emotion for this beauty. I like the black hole behind the flower, it increase the conflict between the light and the darkness in this image. Finally, I especially like to create two versions of this image: the one looking like original image with black and white, the one with more color to have some emotion. Each has different aesthetic elements depending on different viewers.

Sun and moon : how recognize them?

I created 2 poster to represent the sun and moon. The purpose is to help the viewers easily recognize the sun and moon , at least in my opinion. The color palette is totally different in two versions. The sun is with hot colors, and moon is with cold color. Although the style of color is tradition, but I think it also makes the image unique, and more interesting to view. The shape of sun and moon is no special; I just want to represent some funny shapes for them.

A guide for Photoshop

I'd like to introduce to you a really outstanding guidefor some tips of Photoshop. The guide is done by a designer, a really genius designer. But I think to do such a complex task like this guide, you should be an artist, a painter rather than a designer. A importamt note is that the final image is done with just a mouse ( with 3 buttons) and the help of Photoshop. It means no photographic, reference images.

A new beginning

This is my new post in second semester, I hope everything is going smoothly.

The composition is this image is great. The shadow looks like the grid dividing image into equal spaces. The shadows are also so high and big, like covering everything, just like the evasion of aliens. I add more hot color to increase the intensity, the emotion of image, and that's my feeling.
