Advertisement Design

I picked out an advertisement of sofa with a lady laying on the sofa reading the news paper. The background was a balcony with some trees. The way I changed the advertisement is that I changed the background filled with trees so that it looks more relaxing. I also took away the coffee table near the sofa and changed the advertisement sentence to "the most relaxing moment you could ever have".

My advertisement has patterns from the trees in the background and the pattern on the sofa because the way I edited the background is to copy a certain part of the tree from the original advertisement then I pasted the selected tree all over the background so that it made a repetition. The sofa also has repetition because of the lines on the sofa. The sofa and the background is being contrasted because you can see the color difference right away when you look at my advertisement. My advertisement has asymmetrical balance because if you draw an imaginary line through the middle of the advertisement, both sides are not going to match. My advertisement has unity because  every elements worked together to create unity.

This advertisement means that I like the nature because I decided to create the background full of trees like a forest. It also means that I like relaxing houses with a lot of sunlight coming in because that's what makes me feel relaxed.

I feel that it was successful because everything came out the way I wanted and still remained the relaxing feeling the original advertisement. It is created neatly and it has unity because all the elements of designs worked together to create unity.

Shrine Down The Hall

For my Shrine Down The Hall, I took a picture of my room. I didn't purposely tidy up my room. I took the picture of my room just as the way it is. In the picture you can see a bed right in the middle and there are stuffed animals on my bed. There are also post-its on my bed. At the top left corner you can see the sunlight shinning into my room.

My Shrine Down The Hall does not have any patterns. My bed and the rest of my room is being contrasted. My stuffed animals are being emphasized because it is the first thing you see when you look at my picture. My picture has asymmetrical balance because if you draw an imaginary line through the middle of the picture, both sides of the picture won't match. My Shrine Down The Hall has unity because all the elements of designs worked together to create unity.

Dream Journal

In my dream and memory journal, I chose a dream where I dreamed of going to Disneyland again and in the collage there are eight different pictures. Two pictures of the castle, a picture of Winnie The Pooh, a picture of Piglet, a picture of Mickey Mouse and Minnie Mouse and a picture of Walt Disney. The Mickey Mouse and Minnie Mouse is transparent in the middle of the picture/collage.

My dream memory journal does not have any pattern. The Mickey Mouse and the Minnie Mouse in the middle is being contrasted because the background is dark and the characters stood out. The picture of Mickey and Minnie is being emphasized because it is the first thing you see when you look at it.

Personal Collage

My inside outside self portrait has a picture of my eye and it's transparent. In the background, there are items that I like and represents me. For example, there is a necklace that says live, love, laugh. I chose to take a picture of the necklace because it represents my life. No matter what happens, I'll still have to live my life. Love means give you love and not hate. Laugh means to always stay happy. I also had pictures of desserts because I love eating desserts. Lastly, I have a typography saying "be yourself" meaning be who you really are and don't fake it.

It does not have a pattern because everything are out of place. It has symmetrical balance because if you draw an imaginary line through the middle of the self portrait, both sides match with each other. It has unity because all the elements of designs worked together to create unity.

Spaceship

My self portrait is putting myself in space, wearing a space suit. The space is mostly blue and it looks like it has a transparent planet in the back. I also put a spaceship in the background.

My self portrait has a pattern because of the clouds on the bottom of the picture. The blue background and the spaceship is being contrasted because you can tell the differences between the two right away. The spaceship is being emphasized when because you can see the spaceship right away when you look at the picture. The self portrait has asymmetrical balance because if you draw an imaginary line through the middle, both sides do not match each other.

It means that I've always wanted to go to space that's why I put myself in space. The colors showed that the environment more unrealistic. The environment says that I like the environment of space. The colors, environment and collage doesn't represent my culture. The colors symbolize the space.
