The welfare poster

This is also one of my assignment in Maddy class . It calls welfare poster. I'd like to make the Anti Drugs poster. Before I do this process , I researched from the streets and the internet. The concept that I used here are spacing, collage and typography...


Closure

Based on the concept of closure , I've created the logo for my friend whose name is Judy. I've used the lines to create the apples and then put the diamond on the apple's line direction. After that I deleted the lines but we can see that Diamon still go from the line direction.

chinese cultural plate

This image that I took in the Vietnamese traditional food of restaurant which name is Nam Giao.I think this image contains alots of artworks of design. It made in china so all of this artworks related to chinese culture. The designer used the repeatation of the circle to balance his artwork. Eventhough we move it into different the artwork is always balanced. The typography is used in very traditional and old font styles. Moreover, he added more animal symbols to represent the happy life of people. In thinks my of opinion, I thinks it's great.

Tatoo artwork of mine

In cultural thinking of Vietnamese people, tatoo seems to be used bad person . However, I think tatoo in different ways. Do you think people who don't has tatoo is totally good person? ....Moreover, I think it contains a numerous of artworks. This is one of one of artwork and my friend also is going to use it for his tatoo.

First of all, before I sketch the tatoo , I always keep the principle elements of design in my mind. In this this artwork, I would like to use : balance, spacing , typography and line ( curves)
Let's have a look.

Balance



During I work on my second assignment. After taking all images for my project, this image make me think about the balance concept. The towel handle looks like balance with the another towel handle through the mirror. However , there was a little part of handle which was missed. Anyways, through the closure concept of design , people will recognize that part is not hidden actually.

Self Portrait as a Machine


This is my second Assignment in class . The concepts which I used in this portrait are collage, closure, over-lapped and continuance. I made the theme which is bathroom equipments. Then I bring all the equipment images together to cover my face as a machine (Collage concept).
The equipments are also over-lapped on different layers. Even though the equipments cover my whole face but people still recognizes the curves of the face looks like human. It has two eyes, the mouth, the head and the shoulder (Closure concept). For the background, I brushed the lines and used the radial blur effect. It likes moving in the circular ways (continuance concept).

Balance typography




In this image, I'd like to combine the closure , organic font , shape and balance together . I makes from the ideas of balance . I also changed the shape some characters which shows the concept of continuance on 2 bar of color. It looks like the letter is moving down. Actually it just grab the viewer eyes direction.

Font and Typography


Suitable font also contained the meaning for the concept of design. Here I'd like to show that only 1 word "destination" with 3 different types of font bring back 3 different feeling .
For the first one, it seems to be scared or dead. With the red color and organic font , the word look like bloody writing.
Second one, the font looks like fun and cute. Therefore, pink color of back ground is suitable .
Third one looks like something which is so serious . This is because the font was used in inorganic style. It likes something banned with the destination words
