journal post: week 5

For each of the 5 elements of design (shape, line, texture, space, value), find an example that utilizes each element within the design (Google search for poster design, advertisements, etc). You should have 5 DIFFERENT sample designs. 

For each, evaluate the design in 4 to 5 sentences. Label each with the appropriate element. Then, discuss how that particular element is used and how it enhances the design. 

shape- 

 

Slanted ovals are used as legs to give it a modern feel. A triangle and a square a are used to make the boot. The last oval of the leg has a square edges to express that the are pants. The way that the legs are shaped suggest action as if the legs are walking.

line-

The lines are loosely drawn in the background and on top of the photographs of the two main characters. the line towards the sun invite you in. Rough hand-drawn lines are given to the charters in their hair to add texture. The curved lines on the street comfort,safety,relaxation that the town they live in is a nice place. The lines enhance the design by adding texture as well as giving it happy indie feel.

texture-

This is an old time wanted western poster. The texture of the paper gives it an aged look.While the wood has an antique feel. The texture of the picture enhances the picture because without it the paper would just just plan and wouldn't give it a western feel. 


space-

This image has both positive and negative space. The negative space is the red it is the area around the positive space.The positive space is the man with the french horn ears. Both the positive and the negative space appear to be just as equal.


Value-

This poster has dark tone overall.The dark tone creates the mood of the poster and describes the time of the scene.By using lighter tone behind the dark tone, the tone of poster also gives the sense of distance.
