My Texture

Hey guys! So this assignment we were supposed to create 10 textures in our design journal. I felt that this one was my favorite one because of the way it is an actual texture not something that was implied. However, now it is after taking the photo. I feel that this texture would be most useful in a history type of website. It could be tinted and used as a background of their website. The added texture creates a feeling of something vintage (with age that is old). With added color I feel that this texture could translate into other backgrounds.

Negative/Positive Spacing

The purpose of the exercise that was given us on Friday was to understand the use of negative and positive space. However, it was not only that single concept; it was also for us to learn the geometric and organic shapes in the spacing. One of the things I’ve learnt from this exercise is that not only it is hard to keep craftsmanship in mind at all times but also to always be able to see the bigger picture. During the exercise I was able to detect which of the papers I was cutting was negative or positive. There are some points where it could be hard to distinguish the two, however it allows the mind to explore and develop new ideas.

I learnt to keep an open mind mostly from this exercise and that it will take time and a lot of practice for my work to improve. Yet, I know as time goes on and I keep updating here on openlab. I will see the progress I’ve made.
