Fundamentals Of Design by Daniel Van-Dien

 For my poster I wanted to use Tyler, The Creator because he just dropped a new album that I enjoyed listening too. He also announced a tour for that new album which excited me so I thought to use that for this project. I chose to do this because out of the three sketches I chose this one seemed the easiest and looked the best. The idea that I had was to have everything blend in since its all the same color in all the images for the album. Everything other than the price was information that Tyler gave for his tour. I decided to have the ticket price as $30 because it seemed like an affordable price.

 This project was simple and a little interesting. The project was somewhat confusing in the starts since I didn't know how to use the paragraph tool. Once I started to get the hang of it and figured out how to use the paragraph tool it got a lot easier. The project was honestly pretty fun and quick to do so I enjoyed that part. I really enjoyed the simplicity of the project and how quick it was to do this just made it so much easier to enjoy. I would really enjoy to have another project like this because of the simplicity of it.

 The words I chose for my work are space, bounce, stacked, isolated, and deleted. For space I thought it would be a good idea to make the a white so it looks like an empty space. For bounce i thought it would be a good idea to make it seem like the o bounced like a ball would and have the other letters fall next to it. For stacked I thought it would be a good idea if I just stacked it by using the vertical type feature on the type tool. For Isolated i thought it would look good if I put the L in the middle away from the other letters to make it fit with the words meaning. For deleted I thought it would be a good idea to make the L and D white to give it the effect that they weren't there as if they were deleted.

                                              Illustrator Thoughts  The most I can remember with Adobe Illustrator was learning each of the tools, what they do, and how to use them. Learning about shapes and how to use them and edit them. The projects were interesting because using the things I learned was fun and enjoyable. I want to learn new skills for type 2 and refresh on the things i learned from type 1. I want to improve on my skills and make sure that i can create high quality work to make me happy. I wish to refresh on my skills from type 1 and improve on them so they can assist me with type 2. I will use my skills to the best of my ability in type 2 and improve on them. I am confident that my skills can improve and be honed to a better degree and I will make sure that they are.

This principle is closure, for this I wanted to make the letters form a square. This principle is continuity, for this I wanted to make the O's make an L shape This principle is figure ground, for this I put an r inside an h This principle is similarity, for this I had two T's since they are the same. This principle is proximity, for this i made a U with a bunch of U's with a close proximity.  

 My method for this assignment was to use any random I could think of and use that for the six letters. I had struggled a little trying to find the proper fonts for this. My experience was pretty lackluster I didn't think much of what I did during this just thought about the words I would use more than the fonts so I ended up confusing myself a few times. The reaction I had was that this would be a little boring and it was a little but it was a good refresher on things like sans-serifs, serifs, and slab serifs. The assignment was a good refresher but it all around just felt boring to me but I did enjoy learning how to use Adobe Illustrator on the web because of its new features that I would really like to try out in the future with any assignments if we get the chance. Digital type design seems fun with thew right ideas and the creativity, so I really look forward to doing more and more digital type designs since its enjoyable to me at least. I want to see how much better I can get...

  I made this because I wanted the letters to say "Wazzup".
