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.
