A day in a life

Our video assignment was about to record many clips and to put them together based on what do we do in a basic daily life. I used the Imovie as an application. Here is the link for my video. Hopefully you will enjoy it.

 

Changing the whole concept for visual quote

Quote 2 Now, I decided to change my quote because I see that the previous one is kind of giving a negative impression to a person to take his/her interest. Then I chose this quote which seems simple but have a big logical meaning. I just used one classification with one typeface (Bodoni-bold), but playing with the text size balanced the composition. The reason that I put a kid’s photo in the background is, children makes you smile when you see them playing around. You see that they are so pure and harmless for this world.

Quote 3For the 2nd version of my quote’s image in the background is different. Ian Somerhalder is one of my favorite artist and when I saw this image it seems to me so naive and natural. Around the text I used a white box to make the text pop-up more than the background. Also I used Helvetica Neue – Ultralight Italic and I work with just black&white concept again.

Quote 4For the 3rd version, the image in the background is different than others which is its a colorful image. For the text, I used red and orange tones. Last semester, I had to do a poster for one of my classes and I used this font for the text. I really liked it because the letters are bold and each of them seems converted into a shape. The name of the font is “Butterfield”. I put the word “curve”, in a different shape which seems like arc, and for the “straight”, I just made the text size bigger and putting a line underneath.

First idea of my visual quote

QuoteMy first idea was to work with black&white concepts. Because the quote that I chose, it seems despairing in my mind and also it makes your motivation from low to high. I used Bodoni but different typefaces which are bold, italic and book. For “pain”, I used italic because pain makes you weak and desperate. For “power”, I used bold because power is your strength, power makes you strong to get over with the pain sometimes. Also, in my opinion  the image in the background is successful on representing the text.

My logo

Final Logo

My logo represents my initials of my first name and last name which are “Y” and “A”. It shows that two letters are combined with each other as a ligature. I used the paint brush tool to make my own serifs smoothly. So I can be feel more free on doing my letters.

 

Process of Song-Movement Book

From Project#2, I learned the balance between positive and negative shape does really matters in a composition.

  • Leaving too much negative space will make your composition unbalanced.
  • You need a strong pattern to make the composition better.
  • Low visual weight = low contrast

 

Creation of Texture

It is a combination of 3 compositions of texture. It feels like really confusing because there are too much complexity, besides simplicity. Mostly we can see triangles or geometric shapes than organic shapes. Also the variety is different from each other.

Welcome!

Hi everyone, my name is Yasemin.

It’s my second year in Citytech. I used to be in architecture but I saw that it wouldn’t work for me.The reason that I chose Advertising Design is, improving my creativity on drawing and expressing my ideas in visually. Drawing is my passion since i was 11. Learning new methods , being successful inspires me and it doesn’t make me to lose my hope. The drawings, designs on anywhere that i see from people, who are known with their work also inspires me. In my opinion, listening music opens my imagination and its making more ideas in my mind. I like to work with coding, markers, pencils and if necessary sometimes on computer. I had experiences working with softwares, which are Indesign, Illustrator and Photoshop. I would like to work on Projects which are based on space and volume because you can add more details and you can work in many ways however you think about it.
