In the reading from “Graphic Design the New Basics” By Ellen Lupton, draws the attention to Layers and Transparency. Layers allows for simultaneous overlapping and the different possibilities of a single design. Through this project, collage is really important in shaping meaning. Transparency allows a perception of different spatial locations, and allows building complexity and allowing layers to mix and merge together. In the development of this project these two techniques allow for the development of concept and complexity. The combination of images and type can impact the viewer positively or negative, my goal is to have type and image complement each other and hopefully express the pros and cons of the green movement. Currently. I am still developing the iterations of my text and some of my image compositions, and the selection of images have shown me the importance of creating relationships and connections throughout all the pages, which was also discussed in the last reading. Based on the lecture, serendipity can happen and make the composition more complex and interesting to the viewer, my goal is to have control over the compositions and make my explanation of the green movement as clear as possible. My objective is to keep in mind the readings, the lecture and the principles of design as I continue in the development of this project.

ReplyDeleteHere's an opportunity to post a few examples of your mid-progress here since you refer to it in the above statement. Be specific and select (and show) a composition in which the imagery creates the connections you refer to.
