My color wheel is same as the original color wheel, did not put and design on it, because I think the original color wheel explains the color in the most easy and clear way to understand. This took 40 minutes to finish.

YingYang Zhang
To represent Of Mice and Men’s themes of dreams, loneliness, and sacrifice, Yang used an X-Acto knife to cut out shapes of a dark cloud, lightning, and a bird from black bristol, then glued them on the page to create the obvious composition. The dark cloud and the lightning stand for the obstacles of our dreams, and the bird is used to represent loneliness. Yang also used a No. 6H pencil and a black big brush to create the concept of pattern. The irregular lines staggered together makes it look like a broken mirror, represent the idea of sacrifice.

Jingyi Jiao
Title: Ambiguous, stage 2015
Jingyi chose Macbeth by William Shakespeare to be her humument. She creates the compositions by using tools of  ink brush pens: black, dark gray, and light gray, papers from Macbeth’s book pages , and the basic ideas of graphic design principle I. The concept used for the first composition is ambiguous, the compositions of the black color and book paper made up a new figure ground. The second page shows the contrast of volume from dark to light, and also squared the word “stage”. Since Macbeth is a famous stage show, she showed that through both the language and design.

From reading the page of a book, and thinking differently. Making the page to a differently story than the original book. Xingfu recreate the pages in the image of Line and Rhythm by using Pigma Micron 05 and PITT artist Big brush. The first image is representing a great position, where he drew Lines and solid bridges to support the center. The idea was come from the text, where he found the words “great position”. The second image is representing Live and Death, he drew circles and line tap which half was filled in with black ink and leave the other half blank. The idea was also came from the text where he saw the words “dead”, “live” and “spirit”. Xingfu said this is trying to express that live and death is just between one line, the line tap was draw twist to show Rhythm. Circles are represent the spirit.

Picture Perfect Family and Love Exists 2015
Pigma Micron Pens(0.2, 0.5 and Brush), Faber-Castell Brush Pen, scissors and various pencils(HB-6B).
While combining concepts from graphic design and linguistic language, Brandy Ortiz made compositions with themes that juxtapose from the original theme from the novel “Brimestone” by Douglas Preston and Lincoln Child. The theme for the pages she constructed shows love while the theme for “Brimestone” is thriller. “The Picture Perfect Family” shows the message from the selected text by making a frame within the margins. The frame was first made by using the pens to make an outline. Then with the Faber-Castell Brush Pen she inked the page while leaving out the selected text to be revealed. The message explains a family that enjoys getting together and the frame makes the text appear to be the picture. “Love Exists” has the text appear from cutting out certain words from various pages to show all on one page. The idea behind the message was that love is a great feeling to have in the world we live in. Most of the page is shaded by pencil and represents low key. The heart shows that love will always be there even when surround by darkness.

Brian Mifsud
When looking at this page we can see that the artist Brian has taken a simple phrase and actually  was able to flesh out and make a connection between the word and the phrase. Using the universal symbol for a thought or an idea, a cloud used mostly in comic books and cartoons as a way of showing that the character has an idea. This design fits very well with the phrase “your idea” outlined on the page. The use of variation of sizes between the clouds helps make the biggest cloud the focal point of the piece. Even the repetition of the clouds helps get across the sense of ideas and thought.
