Gestalt Principles Reflection

Similarity

"Figure-Ground"

Continuity/Closure

Closure & Similarity

Closure
 To be honest, I don't think I followed any of the Gestalt Principles, but I think I combined some aspects of them in the 5 designs that I cooked up. So for the First design what I did was a Similarity thing, Where you would see a bunch of Uppercase Ws but there's also a sneaky Upside-down M hiding in plain view. The Second design I did was sort of an illusion using Capital Is and Js, with some of them being white, so it's basically positive and negative space. For the Third design, I'm not sure whether I did Continuity or Closure or did both. but basically in this design, you can roughly connect the E with the RWs. The Fourth design I definitely did was Closure and Similarity, where I created the letter "J" with "I"s, a J, and a period (.), The similarity part was typing an actual J and putting it next to the custom "J". The Fifth and last design I did was Closure where an Uppercase "O" was cut through with a White "Uppercase I". In the end, I mostly followed 3 of the 7 Gestalt principles

Society of Illustrators at 128 East 63rd Street, Lexington Avenue, New York, New York, NY 10065 Trip Reflection

 To summarize, my experience in the trip was great. especially in the Character Design workshop where we learned how to fold and make a zine (pronounced zeen) which is a small book consisting of 8 pages (including the cover), also we learned how to make character turn arounds which involves drawing a sort of target on which ever part of the face depending on the position of your character and then you draw the eyes and the rest of the face.  This is what the Zines look like This is what I meant by "character turnarounds" and "targets" Anyways moving on from the Character Design I took a pic of some designs that really caught my interest (about 14 but i will only show 2 because why not) The text is sort of unreadable because the original image was blurry. I tried using the unblur feature my phone had and its still quite unreadable. If you still cant read this, it says: Medium: Ink crayon, handmade stamps, paper collage. digital Imprint: Alfred A.

Gestalt Principles on Grid

Image
  Figure Ground Symmetry   Similarity   Proximity  Alright so we are back with doing Gestalt Proximity but we are doing it on grids this time, honestly, I think I put little effort into the work except maybe the second design, for the First design, I did sort of a "yin-yang" design, I have nothing else to say its quite bland. Anyway for the Second design, I clearly did Symmetry, I even went a little further and used the 'gutter space' as Adobe InDesign calls it to write the word "symmetry", I am quite happy with this design myself. For the Third design, I did Similarity where some of the text in the boxes would be bolded and form a T-shape, you could also consider this as Figure-ground. Finally, for the Fourth design, I did proximity where at least 2 grid spaces would space out all of the text boxes.

300ppi VS 72ppi Resolution

1. What is the difference between 300ppi and 72ppi? The difference between 300PPI and 72PPI is that 300PPI is higher resolution, You are cramming more pixels into an inch. Hence the PPI which means Pixels Per Inch 2. Why is that important for the graphic designer doing print projects? It's important for Graphic Designers as when you try to increase the size of a 72PPI to fit the layout of a magazine or poster, It looks like a pixelated mess which hurts to look at. Whereas if you try to resize a 300PPI it won't look that bad, Sure it will start to look a little pixelated but it would still be pleasant to look at. Well, there might be a situation where 300PPI is too big for your project layout so you can decrease the size and it would still look great overall. 3. Why is that important for the web designer doing websites?  It's equally important for Web Designers, But you also have to be careful, if you insert an image that's too big such as a 1000PPI image your Website wi
