I made this design based on the terrorist attacks that happened in France. I wanted to draw something to represent France follow by "Peace & Love" to show support. At first I just had a normal ampersand sign but then I added the hearts in near the end which I find adds a lot to the design. One thing I may have done differently is to use a ruler to make sure all the letters are in line because I tend to just free hand draw and not be as specific as I should.
For my lampoon project I went with the cover of Time. The magazine does a very good job of showing many different types of people in different eras. I decided to do a future version of the magazine to foreshadow what the future may be like and also shine light on things that we do today that we may look back on and laugh at. I like how my colour scheme turned out I feel all of the colours go well together. However, I wish I had taken my photo with a plain background so I didn't have to blur it. Overall, I am very happy with how it turned out.
For this project I went with the theme of my favourite Christmas movie Elf. Growing up my favourite line was always when Buddy says, "I'm a Cotten headed ninny muggins!" I used wrapping paper for my background and I chose one with cartoon snowflakes to represent the start of the movie when outside at the north pole is cartoon. I put Cotten balls around the edge because it looks like snow and also because Buddy the Elf eats them when he's at the doctors office. I added in a drawing of the snow good with the Empire State Building in it where Buddy goes to find his dad. For my first font I made it simple but added the swirls to give it a more happy look. For my second font I practiced cursive writing and added in dots on the letter C and H because It reminded me of elf shoes. For my final font, I played with the sizing of the letters. It did not turn out as well as I thought it would because the two words have a different amount of letters in them so it looks unbalanced.
I am very proud of this assignment! I felt that it is the most creative one I have done yet. The fonts are all different but they somehow ended up tying together. If I could change anything it would be the font I used for the word "Whipped." I feel as though it doesn't fit as well as the other words do. Overall, I am happy with how it turned out.
This was my first rough draft. I liked all my font choices and drawings but I had awkward negative space that needed to be filled. For my second draft I added an underline to the negative space and made the choice to do a border with rounded edges. This is my final copy, I am happy with the way it turned out. I like writing with bright colours so I was happy I was able to incorporate that. The hardest part for me was the fear of putting ink to my paper but with time I hope to become more confident with that.
This project was lots of fun for me. I liked how we got to go outside and do our own thing. One challenge we had was making round letters because we had straight lego. Also, we decided to make our letters stand up so finding a way to have them balance was a challenge. Overall, I am happy with the way it turned out.
This was the first font I tried to re create. I found making the general shape of the letter easy but the details were a bit harder. My line on the bottom of the spur is on more of an angle than the original, as well my dot is smaller. This is a fun font that you would not use if you were writing a serious article, but more for if you were writing a funny story. This one was a lot more frustrating than the last one. It has a lot more detail and many more ways to mess it up. On my original drawing (left photo) I liked the detailed in the lines but I realized after I made it way too wide. I uploaded the photo to a photoshop app on my phone and I made it look a lot closer to the original one. I drew this one free hand so the lines are not perfect, but this is kind of a crazy font so I don't find it matters too much that it's not perfect. ![]() This was the first whole word I wrote. I did it free hand as well so it is not perfectly straight. I wanted to make a colourful one since my last two were black. I picked what colours I used based on the word "Couture." I thought of fashion, pretty girls, and pink. It is bold in the original font photo so in order to make mine appear bold too I outlined it in a different colour than the inside. I thought it looked boring when I finished the word so I added the under line. It is supposed to look like vanity lights that you would see in dressing rooms of high end fashion shows. |
