1st Try
• Wanted a “Bulletin Board” feel• Wanted to provide a “connect across the
world” feel• And thus this (terrible) design was created:
Getting Somewhere
In my next iteration I focused on:• “personalizing” through emotion• Alignment• Adding color• Getting my message worked out
Making it more interesting
• I then added a background, color (Analogous), and lots of contrast.
• This next design I played with a lot of things that I later found were kind of breaking the rules (angled text), but I felt it kinda worked here.
Type Focus
• My focus in my next piece was on getting my types to work in harmony with each other (rather than clashing).
• For my text I used a very bold Sans Serif (Impact) and an italicized oldstyle (Garmamond italic)
• I also wanted to try a vertical text (which I felt worked somewhat better than the angled text).
Final Design
• For my final design I:• Went to a complimentary color scheme
(Yellow and Purple)• Changed my Triangle set of pictures to verticle• And made everything look a little more
organized.
