Text Design #1

Text Design:
                 The first assignment is called the Text Design assignment. In this assignment, we chose a letter and created a unique design. The strongest technical aspect of my work is the front layer. I believe my front layer is my strongest technical aspect because you cannot tell what letter it is identified as. This aspect makes my work look more like a design rather than a group of random letters. A technical aspect of my work I could improve on is my variety of K's. The design definitely looks unique but I think it could be something more if I added more K's to my design so it becomes even more complicated and appealing to the eye.
                 The easiest part of this activity was the coloring of the letters. This part of the assignment you had to be entirely spontaneous and choose colors you enjoy. In my design I chose three different colors and changed there opacity's. I changed the opacity to make them appear more than three colors. The most difficult part of this activity was the placement of the letters. This assignment needed to be radial symmetry. Radial symmetry is symmetry all around the four corners of the design. It was especially difficult when the K had to be flipped and rotated differently in each corner. An example of this is my blue letter K's in the bottom left, bottom right, top left, and top right.
                 The objective of this activity was to balance color using radial symmetry. I demonstrate this objective by rotating and flipping the letters to create a radial design. You can tell this is radial symmetry because it had the same letter and same format done to it in each of the four corners. If I could do this art activity again I would change one aspect. If I were to do this again I would attempt to make the K less obvious of what it is. By this I mean I will place the K's in a way that you may not recognize them as letters. In conclusion, in this assignment I learned many new aspects of radial symmetry and text design.
