DAY 3

HMA2
Project Description
Following along with the first studies, 8 new studies with scale and weight variation to the type along with the phrase "Type blocks or compositions, pick one". These studies were broken up, 4 studies based on setting the phrase in a block format and 4 studies looking at setting the phrase in a composition.

Thoughts
I think I really enjoy creating blocks with text but I have a long way to go to get them to look really clean. A lot of my studies turned out a little too tight and awkward. Going back to fix these I opened them up a lot.

Creating compositions are a bit of a challenge only because I don't have a really good eye for finding dominate horizons and verticals while I am working out the structure.

Notes
Add more space and allow more movement in the compositions.


Video
We watched the first part of a TED video with designer David Carson.

  1. You have made posts, but not lets make them meaningful. Show depth of thought and process. Pics of your work and process are good to include as well.

  2. I have only put in placeholders to remind myself of what happened/what we discussed on what day. I'm still trying to get this organized because I have three days of notes/critique to compile along with all my other classes that require me to update separate blogs. I apologize, it will be a lot different by this weekend when I can catch up.
