Principles of Design Poster Critique

I like The Office poster, it has the balance of the 5 different types of  handwriting for the 5 different people in the room. The handwriting is written on a post-it note and each note is placed below or near the person it corresponds with, giving the poster symmetrical balance. This poster has a simple rhythm and good contrast, which really makes the black outfits stick out more against the window and wall. Since the poster has people in it the proportion is very important, I think the poster has good proportions in regards to the people in the poster. The Office poster is one of my favorite posters in the room and now that I have really analyzed the principles of designs involved in that poster I appreciate it even more.

Helvetica Documentary

I found this documentary to be very informative, and kind of interesting. Because of watching this I am  more aware of the different types of font that are shown in public places.  I learned about the process of how people who create fonts, create the fonts. It was kinda interesting to learn that it is better when creating a font to use white on the actually letters and black inside the letters.

For this project we took a picture of ourselves and then drew over the features of our face to come up with a drawing of ourselves (self portrait). once we had finished that we then were able to add color to the picture to make it look more inviting and interesting. It's not completely finished but still looks pretty good. :)
