Visual Hierarchy

20161011_145026 1. I found this example of visual hierarchy very interesting since the design of this image has the direction of what is wants you to look at first. Where it says, “Art. Collect. Yourself.” I had read the words second and paid attention to the person that was posing for the photo first. In my opinion those words are the first location of this poster (Art). Where the records are located and scattered on the floor is where the second word comes in play (Collect). Finally, after we have gave our full attention to the records we then look at the model. In the photo he is enjoying his music while dancing and feeling the groove.20161011_141407 In this poster we have Amber Rose posing for the image. We can see and example of visual hierarchy here since she is facing the white ground that is beside her.20161011_140959 In this poster I found this interesting since the model is not facing the white ground to her right side but is facing us instead.  Her knee is bending and facing the the white ground instead of her upper body. 20161011_141430 This poster is similar to Amber Rose’ pose since she is facing the words to her right side. If the two spaces were swapped then it would feel out of place.20161011_144926 I like how this poster has the eagle lifting the pack of beer up towards the word “Drunk.” I like this example of visual hierarchy since the eagle is pointing the beer upward to the word that defines the purpose of the beverages.

My Project #1

screenshot_2016-09-23-09-27-18 My patterns are not yet complete. There are more than a few minor errors that I have made during the first project but I plan on completing and owning up to the mistakes. I can see my patterns well-done and complete (besides the smudges) to the best of my creativity. I find my patterns very interesting yet simple with clever additions that will soon be added.

ART vs D3S1GN

In my opinion, art is more personal than design because when expressing yourself throughout a painting or drawing there is more emotion. Art does not really take any skill but it is more about talent. Design is more technical than it is talent. The skill that is required to create or edit an image is very different from that of art. With design you can always work a lot faster and is less messy.

Hannah Hokanson Art

The reasons why I am in love with the poster that was made by Hannah Hokanson is because October is my favorite month of the year since it is not too cold and not too hot. Halloween is another reason as to why this poster makes me happy because this time of year is all about expressing yourself by dressing up as your favorite real and/or fictional characters. I love Tim Burton’s films and style of art. It is dark but also fun to watch. This poster has a good amount of color and when seeing it, it makes me happy that October is on its way.

Figure Ground and Music Notes

I do believe that the figure ground and the notes and rests in music can be quite similar since, in my opinion, the notes can be described as positive sounds and the rests can be identified as the negative parts of the music. We are more influenced by the sounds that stand out rather than the rests in a track just like how most of us pay more attention to what is in front of our eyes rather than what is in the background of a photo, drawing, painting, or physical area. The notes carry more hard or light resonant sounds as to the long, deep, and silent bodies of the rest.
