Word Designs!

Square Designs

This is picture shows the word neat. The squares are all evenly aligned with equal spacing between all of them.

This picture shows the word unstable. The squares are all falling over which makes them look unstable.

This picture is cluttered. All of the shapes are touching and going off the the page. This makes them look like they don't have enough space.

This picture looks like the shapes are falling. All of the shapes are twisted and have a blur effect added to them that makes them look like they are spinning.

Cover to Book

This is the cover to my graphic design book. It is called Crazy Lines and Designs. I named it this because I like the way it sounds and it describes the designs in my book. I made this my cover because I like the design I made as the background.

My Color Design!

This is the color design in my book. The focal point is the purple shapes that resemble a flower. The focal point it purple because of the yellow background.

Value Design!

This is my value design. The focal point of this design is the giant star that goes across the page. I used many different shapes that lead your eye to the focal point. This design started out as an experiment for effects, but I liked the outcome of them and created my value design.

Patterns!

This design is my favorite out of all of them. This is my pattern design. My focal point is the flower toward the side. I like this design because there are many different patterns and shapes that lead your eye to the focal point. I used a variety because it helps make the picture interesting.

Letter Design!

This is my letter/number design. I like this design because it is simple with just numbers and letters. The focal point of this design is the number six. It has a light color applied to it which makes a contrast against the darker colors and gradient.

Line Design!

This is my line design. The focal point are the stars. My favorite part of this picture is the squares that begin to fade off. This leads your eye closer to the focal point.
