Type III by Emmanuel Acevedo

(1) NO HIERARCHY (2) CONTRASTING COLOUR (3) CONTRASTING COLOUR (4) ALIGNMENT (5) SPATIAL INTERVALS (6) UPPERCASE AND SPATIAL INTERVALS (7) WEIGHT, COLOUR, SPACE, ALIGNMENT (8) ITALICS, SCALE COLOUR, WEIGHT, ALIGNMENT This assignment was a breeze to get through honestly, The only thing I struggled with was the Alignment parts in the Fourth, Seventh and Eighth Layouts but after playing with the paragraph panel a little I eventually got the hang of it. The font that I used was Helvetica LT Standard because although the computer I used had Helvetica Neue LT Com, the former was a little more accurate to the original layouts found in this PDF.  But anyway, the other 4 layouts were easy to replicate as I previously worked with Line spacing in the Block, Set, Type Assignment.

  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.

 

Encircle Jumping Apart Imposters So for the first design I did was "Encircle" where all the letters would encircle nothing... literally just encircling the void. Next up for the second design I did the word jumping where every 2nd character would be jumping up. For the third design I did Apart where all the letters were spaced apart in a rather weird way, you would know this if you checked the "expressivewords3.indd" file. And for the fourth design i did "Imposters" where the "I" was replaced with a "1", "O" being replaced with a zero and the "S"s being replaced with Fives

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 di

  So this simple block-type thing was quite easy to make, First, I typed up the words that were assigned to me in the Helvetica LT STD Condensed, Rockwell, and Georiga fonts. Next, I adjusted the size of the individual words so that it would be close to the margins. Third, I adjusted the leading which can be quite hard to do without using a method/dirty trick. I have utilized a method where you make a small selection box, align it to the bottom of the baseline of a word, and then adjust the leading of the word below it so that the top of the cap height of that word aligns with that selection box.  I found InDesign quite easy to use due to the fact that I've used similar programs before such as paint.net, Inkscape, and Photopea  so most of the shortcuts I already knew before could be applied very easily to InDesign.

Adobe InDesign by what i could tell from testing the program last spring is usually used for making prints such as Posters, Brochures and Magazines. but what do i think of it?
