Mixed fonts.

Working with mixed fonts was a little wonky. Taking the phrase, which also felt a bit wonky, and breaking it down in a phonetically accurate manner did help attune to what font the type fits best to. As I worked I tried to focus on thirds and a grid layout to structure all of my pieces, but as I had people take a look at my layouts I got some helpful negative feedback. What happened was that I lost any sort of dominant verticals or horizontals in my pieces. Going back and looking at that, it was more apparent as to what I needed to do, but I still had problems setting interesting relations outside of the interaction on the dominant intersections. So, I need to keep an eye out for that in the future.

During the critique there was nothing super specific about my comps. The two that where picked out emphasized "Ambiguity" as the dominate statement and had the other pieces of text related to that. So I'll try to relate that ideation a bit more.

With animating these guys, I'm definitely going to revise a wee bit and try to make them a bit more screen friendly. Im hoping to create a natural rhythm that comes with reading or speaking, which should be pretty slick.

  1. This is our 4th class and you only have 1 blog posts and. That means that you only have 25% of the number required. Keep on them as we go forward and, as you go forward with your blog, it would be nice to see you discuss the /your work in a more specific way and the process that you are going through for each of the projects. Post pics of the studies and your sketches too.
