The target that you want to achieve is somtimes obvious but obscured also. There seem many ways open to your eyes but your task is choose the best for you to reach it. You can get stuck, get lost or fall on your way but never give up.

I used Illu to express this concept in a simply way. Just using 1 font, one basic shape, pentool and type on path tool, I didn't intend to make it tidy. The type seems not to be in good alignment.

My font flash

This is my assignment 2C with so many mistakes about the unity in white space and sound and timeline control. The space between the line of text and the border of the box around it is not kept strictly. The sound isn't looped in a good way and it begins alittle bit late. The most thing I like in this flash is the process of researching information for the font. I know much more about one celebrated font that I have ignore for many years. Courier, designed by Kettler, has been used in many aspects of life with many special characteristics. Watch my flash, even it can acuse you a little bit annoyed.

Pattern

Pattern is such a strong element in design but I have not used it successfully in any of my designs yet:(. I like the flowing and the arrangement that some kinds of patterns brings about. Since I was at 8th class, I was so impressed about the details in Indian carpet, but not until design program, had I known that such kind of details is called pattern. The technique of making carpet in India is so skillful. Diversifying shapes with hot strong colors creates the leisure freedom for the design.

If I didn't remember wrongly, sometimes the red color of them is dyed with the gum from one kind of fruit. This kind of pattern, I presonally think, can provide strong emtions in design works. Hope that someday I can succeed in applying this kind of pattern in my design:X

From two points of view:D

This picture which I got when playing around on Internet made me laugh a lot 'coz it looks like a body of a woman wearing bikini. Do you see that? It actually is a X-ray film of the front thumb:D. I wonder that sometimes we can make use of imagination and guessing ability of viewer to make a design. The image is totally grayscale but the shape is abstract and natural. So interesting:X

Here is the address I got it: http://www.acr0nym.com/wp-content/thumb-front.jpg

Artificial bamboo forest

This is my combination between the image of bamboos and the image of an S- ray film of the hand. The most thing I like is the rhythm in the image. It seems to be grayscale rather than normal color adjustments. The colors is similar to ink. The mood is cold and ancient.

I found this film poster by chance. The poster seemed to catch my eyes immediately. The color in the poster is so hot. The proportion is obviously seen in the ration between the woman and the outside scene. The literal movement of many cars under the woman, who is standing strongly ready for picking up any car. The chaotic corw of the street is in high in contrast to the silence of many houses near by. The viewers' eyes will be led to the woman's girl.

I cannot miss mentioning the use of typography. The '50' is black on purpose. The arrangement impressed viewers from the first time encountering. That's what the task of the poster's typography.
The poster seems to have little information but so strong in impressing viewers.

While crossing this image, I found another version with the image of the Christ. You can see that the mood between these two poster is different.

The main color is red. Black background and white text make the red parts outstanding. The text is aligned seriouly. After trying on many fonts, I decided to use Brush Script ITC for the head title so that it's suitable to the image and Bookman Old Style to give clear information.


There are 2 versions of this flyer 'coz when the black one is introduced to the blog of RMIT DC, someone likes something not hot and sexy like that but cute and pure. She said that this is the basic competition and many couples are only girls together and the characteristic of the competition is not so hot. That's also one problem I aven't thought of. Next time I should be more careful^^

Anyway, do you feel hot? Feel free to join our event!!!
