From a list of emotionally evocative words, I was to pick four and create abstract compositions of the words chosen. The difficulty in this assignment manifest immediately: Composition is key. Trendy colors and fonts won’t save weak composition. Simply put, I needed to resist the urge to create cliché illustrations. It was not a simple task to getting at the emotion, tone, or gist of the word, but I was proud of my end result. I ultimately built a solid foundation in learning the importance of the principles of design.
Oppression:the feeling of being heavily
burdened, mentally or physically,
by troubles, adverse
conditions, anxiety, etc.
Filth:foul or disgusting dirt; refuse, extreme physical or moral uncleanliness; pollution
Purity:ceremonial
or ritual cleanness,
freedom from guilt or evil;
innocence. freedom from
anything that debases,
contaminates, pollutes, etc.
Longing:strong, persistent desire or craving, especially for something unattainable or distant
TYPOGRAPHY
WORD
AND
text
This assignment helped me become more familiar
with type anatomy and the various families of
typeface. I picked a word from a list and worked with a variety of media using no color. I really
fell in love with this project as well as the vast history that is associated
with typography and words. Throughout this
assignment, I discovered my love for design,
particularly typography.
Although there was no final project for this section, this was one of my final iterations
Familiarization with typography
Object Iterations... and iterations... and iterations...
Geometric shapes and iterations
Object Iterations... and iterations... and iterations... Collaged images made
using found material
Typographic collages made using found type samples
As a former cosmetologist, I immediately was drawn to the idea of using a pair of haircutting shears as my object. Through this assignment, I was able to produce a great variety of iterations and variations of shears. Ultimately, I became more aware of the essential shapes.
Master Artist: Jackson Pollock
Master Artist: Leonardo DaVinci
Finally! We were able to use some color! That’s what everyone was excited about on this project, as we’ve only been using black and white media. And then she dropped the bomb... We were limited to 3 colors. The idea behind this project was to introduction to using a grid for our images: Create a “how to” poster with step by step directions. Through trial and error, I finally learned how to use, and break, the grid. I also was afforded the opportunity to showcase something I knew a lot about. A few struggles were had, but in the end, the knowleged I gained from using the grid and the relationships betwween color were absolutely necessary for a young designer.
Get your GRID on!
Various mock ups and starter pieces
Find an old t-shirt, towel, and wash-cloth. Choose items that are old and
stained (They will be stained later). Also collect a pair of cloves, hair clips, color-
ing bowl, coloring brush, shampoo, con-ditioner, and color protectant
(Vaseline will suffice).
Put on shirt. Brush hair and section into 4 equal
parts with clips. Read directions on box.
Put color into bowl. Carefully apply color to visible parts in hair with col-oring brush. Avoid getting color on
your scalp/skin.
Choose one of the two front sections. Part this section of hair about 1” with tail of col-oring brush. Apply the color
to this new part with brush. Continue until section is col-
ored, moving through all 4 sections of hair until head is
covered in color solution.
Remove gloves and dispose of them and any remaining color
solution. Use your washcloth to scrub scalp/skin that have any
color stains sitting.
Style and Smile! Rock those Lusty Lavender
Go to a store, purchase purple hair dye of your choice. I suggest SPLAT
brand in Lusty Lavender.
Depending on desired hue and intensity of color, let hair process. The richer the shade, the longer it should sit. Rinse
Put on gloves and apply color protectant to entire
hairline. Be careful to avoid getting hair in protectant.

Here are a few images of the project as I was
working through it.
This project is probably the one that I learned the most from. We had to create a call to action poster using typography. At the beginning, I thought I would be sneaky and break the rules a bit. Unsuccessfully. I had to accept that my final message would be louder if only I could stop doing SO MUCH! When I finally figured out what I needed to o to make a successful call to action, the project became organic. Less is more. The message is clear.
HEY YOU!YEAH, YOU!!
The first step to this project: Write 3 problems/issues
Do You Know
What You’re
Eating? As much as 80% of processed food contains GMOs
Most developed nations do not consider GMOs to be safel In more than 60 countries around the world, including Australia, Japan, and ALL of the countries in the European Union, there are significant restrictions or outright bans on the production and sale of GMOs. In the United States, the government has approved GMOs based up the studies conducted by the same corporations that created the GMOs and profit from their sale. Increasingly, Americans are taking matters into their own hands and choosing to opt out of the GMO experiment. Don’t be apart of the experiment!

Hey!
No matter what I tried, I just was not happy with these posters.
