Design Blitz

The “Welcome” sign is a good example of typography because it is all one font and all one color. It is the main focus of the art piece and there is great contrast between the white letters and the brown wood background.

This pillow is a good example of using color to help with balance and unity. The connected and repeating pattern shows how the whole design is balanced across multiple lines of symmetry and is all connected as one unified image. The lighter blues throughout the white lines are all even with each other all around the pillows design.

This pillow shows rhythm because of the waves of the overall pattern and within each individual unit. The smaller blobs of color follow the same zig zagging pattern as the pattern between the overall big lines of alternating colors across the pillow.

There is balance and good use of space in the background of this ad. The ad uses alignment and somewhat equidistant spacing between the different simplistic items that you would typically find in a workshop.

The bag of chocolates uses rhythm because of the swirling pattern it reminds you of smooth movement and focuses you into the center where the different chocolate truffles are pictured.

Typography

My favorite game was type war out of all of them because it was a very strait forward way to identify the different typography. I played that game the majority of the time and got up to around 50-60 points playing.

I also liked shot the serif because it was the most like an actual game and was in a way similar to type war because it was a very simple game. I couldn’t make it work on my computer, so i downloaded it and played it on my iPhone.

My least favorite of the games were type connection because I honestly wasn’t extremely invested in it, and it was a lot more involved than the others. I also was not the best at this game because I didn’t really get it at first, and by the time I did I was over playing it.

Kern Type was a very satisfying game for people who are visual perfectionists. I liked this game a lot even though I didn’t ever get any of them perfectly in line, the best I did was 78/100.
