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.

It means that I like cute things around my room and I like to decorate my room rather than having it plain. The message is that I am still a kid in the heart.

I feel that it is successful because all the elements of design work together to create unity. It is created neatly and it translated the feelings, emotions and meanings of the Shrine Down The Hall.

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. My collage is asymmetrical balance because if you draw an imaginary line through the middle, none of the sides will match. My collage has unity because all the elements of designs are showed in the collage.

It means that I like Disneyland because I had a dream about it. The photograph says that I want to go to Disneyland again.

I feel that it was successful. The elements of design worked together to create unity. It is created neatly because nothing looks messy. It looks good because all the elements of designs exist. I successfully translated the feelings, emotions and meanings of the dream journal.

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.

This self portrait means that I like desserts and that I base my rule of life on "live, love, laugh" because with all three personal qualities, I believe I'll end up with a happy life and future.

I think it is successful because the self portrait came out looking nice and I like the transparency. I also like how the necklace show through my eyeball. I also think it was successful 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.

I feel that it was successful because it looked good and unrealistic. The elements of design work together to create unity. It is created neatly because nothing looks messy. It looks good because it has unity.

Warhol Self Portrait

I have nine pictures in the Warhol self portrait and the nine pictures are the same. However, every pictures are in different colors. All the colors on the self portraits are complementary colors on the color wheel. For example, blue to orange, purple to yellow, and red to green.

My self portrait have repetition because the pictures keep on repeating nine times of itself. The colors on the pictures are being contrasted since they are complementary colors. The pictures with yellow in it is being contrasted because it stands out the most. The self portrait has symmetrical balance because when you draw an imaginary line in the middle of the Warhol, both sides match each other. My self portrait have unity because everything match together.

It means that we could change the picture into different ways and it gives out different ways. The color gives out the different feelings of picture. The colors tells me that I like the contrast between purple and yellow because I have the most purple and yellow. I don't think that the colors represent my culture. The color symbolize the different feelings like hot and cold colors.

I think that my Warhol self portrait was a success. The elements of designs worked together to create unity. It is also created neatly. It looks good because the pictures of my face stood out.
