Semester Reflection
Throughout this semester, I have learned so many thing I never thought I would be able to do. For example, we learned how to blend ourselves into another picture. This was by far one of my favorite projects just because it was so cool yet so simple. I also really enjoyed the Stephen Kroninger assignment. I had seen his work before, but I never really knew how he created his designs. This class has taught me so many interesting things about type, images, and design. I now have a better understanding of why advertisements and designs are created the way they are. We often have to make posters or signs for classes, so I think I will be able to create a more efficient and interesting design with the techniques we have learned this year.
Review Week 17
Have you learned something?
-Yes. I learned where the word 'serif' actually came from. It can be traced back to ancient Rome. The actual serifs on the letters come from the little strokes at the end of painting a line or carving in rock. I also learned that there are two kinds of serifs. One being the Adnate serif because it is more organic and the second being abrupt because it is more squarer and rigid.

How many points are in an inch? How many points are in a pica?
72 points in an inch. 12 points in a pica.
Of the seven classifications, which classification(s) would best work as body type? Why?

Classify the following typefaces and briefly explain why you believe it should be classified that way:
I know this is typed in Slab Serif because all the lines and curves are the same weight and thickness and also because the serifs are squared.
This was typed in Script because it resembles handwriting with the connected letters and flexible, smooth lines.
This is decorative because it too busy to be written for the whole body but it grabs the attention of the readers by being used as a headline or title
This is Sans Serif because all of the letters are exactly uniform and same weight. There are no serifs and all the letters have a monotone look.
This is Blackletter because the letters have different weights and resemble caligraphy. It is a type of decorative typeface because of the elaborate strokes.
This is Roman Style because the letters have a small variation of thick and thin strokes with wedged serifs.

Review Week 13
For each of the 8 principles of design, find an example that utilizes the principle within the design. You should have 8 DIFFERENT sample designs. For each, discuss how the particular principle is used.
Contrast
The flower contrasts with the faded monotone background because the flower is so bright; it stands out.
Emphasis
The white background emphasizes the red puzzle piece because the redness makes its stand out and become the center of attention
Proportion/Scale
This picture uses proportion/scale by making the bike much larger than the rest of the objects in the picture
Repetition
This picture utilizes repetition by repeating similar objects numerous times
Rhythm
This picture shows rhythm in the waves because it uses a uniform line style
Variety
This picture shows variety because it has lots of different shapes, sizes, and colors.
Balance
This picture shows balance because it is evenly distributed on each side.

Review Week 8
Why must designers pay close attention to how color is utilized within a composition?
-Designers need to pay close attention to how color is utilized within a composition because color is not the only element of a design so he or she needs to make sure it doesn't take away from
-Designers need to pay close attention to how color is utilized within a composition because color is not the only element of a design so he or she needs to make sure it doesn't take away from
Why is the color wheel an important tool for graphic designers?
-The color wheel helps graphic designers make new colors from the 12 basic ones. It helps them find a color in between two other colors.
Find an example of neutral colors utilized within a design (hint: google poster design). Near the sample, discuss why you feel the designer included neutral colors within the composition.
Briefly describe how we "see" the color of an object?
-Light bounces or reflects off other objects and the photons send messages to the brain and then we see only the reflected color. All colors hit an object when the wavelengths do but some are absorbed (the colors we do not see).
