| WEEK 6 | ||||||
| Assignment 1: For our final week I choice a site on one of my favorite things...Elephants! I think the site is very nicely done. It's colors and textures give a true feeling of nature The title is a nice playful serif font with effects for added visual appeal. The rest of the site is written all in a single sans serif which has a slight lean to it which makes it match well with the leaning serif font on the title. Using different point sizes, bolding and alignments, they created a well balanced fun to read page. It also has plenty of white space and short enough line lengths that finding the beginning of the next line is natural to the eye. The page is very long but its broken up with line dividers which helps to create a smaller grouping of elements. I admit I have not read this whole site but as far as design and feel, I think it works great. :) Assignment 2: I did this part a bit different. I combined the use of different fonts with my vector cartooning class. The cartoon can be seen here. I used a decorative font for the title, that was fun and playful since I wanted the audience to know this is only a toon! The font is called Paisley ICG 02. The word skydiving i choice a sans serif font with letterspacing because I wanted the word to be a design element and give the reader a feeling of falling, rather then just a word in itself. The other font is a sans serif that has a comical fun feel to it. I used different colors to set apart the groupings of information. All 3 fonts work well together because they all give a feeling of something fun and non-serious. Assignment 3: :) I know we were suppose to take one of our past designs and redue it using what we learned this week about fonts. However..hehe..I really like all my first choices I made. I have this thing about fonts. I could have 3000 fonts and not have enough. I will spend hours to even days sometimes looking for a font that gives the perfect feel to something Im doing. I think most people choose a font because they like how it looks..but I choose fonts because of how they feel. That probably doesnt make much since to anybody but me..lol :) I did go over all my past designs to see if maybe I could have made better choices for fonts. But in all honestly, I think I did pretty good the first time. If I am wrong please tell me and I'll find something that will work better. (ducking, to avoided getting hit with the eraser) *********************** Thank You Liann for a wonderful class!
