Expressive words

 



This one is Mirror. It was one of the more easier ones, the only thing I really had trouble with was trying to make it look centered and all, but otherwise, I think it turned out alright. It was one of the first things that came to mind and all I had to do was copy and flip the word, as unlike reflection mirror flipped horizontally made more sense.
This one is Backwards, it was pretty easy to do as I only had it flip it over. It wasn't so much as doing something with a word that was hard, but thinking of what words to use, one moment I have so many I can't pick, the next, I have no clue what to do. But backwards was pretty easy to think of, and didn't really require you to do much either.
This one is Spaced. This one was probably one of the more difficult ones as I had trouble getting the spaces about the same length and fitting them inside the frame, the font is pretty small but not to the point that it can't be seen. I think it turned out to be alright, and it was pretty quick to think of as the spacebar on our keyboard and all.


        This one is Typo. This one was probably one of the more fun ones to do. I make typos a lot so thinking of making a typo on typo sounded like a funny idea to me. I wanted the typo to be in a way that the word is still obvious so I switched the y for an i.
This one is tower. This one was the first one I did, it was probably one of the ones that took the longest to do, as I couldn't figure out just how big I wanted the T to be. It took quite a while to finally do it in a way that wasn't too big or small, but I think it turned out ok.

Gestalt on Grid Shafa Hawladar

                                                                              This one is  Proximity.  I didn't really know what to do, so I had to look up some examples and decided to  change the paragraph to be Justify and made the letters closer together. I tried not to do too much as proximity was meant to be close together and it was already like that, I think it turned out ok in the end.             This one is Continuity. This one was was of the more fun ones to do, and it was pretty easy to think of something for this one. The letters with less spacing ended up looking pretty interesting compared to the more spaced out ones, it was meant to be super close together to super spaced out. I think it turned out to be alright.                                                                           This one is  Similarity. I didn't really know what to do for this one but   decided to mess around with the paragraph aligning options and thought that flipping them would work. I

Portrait In Type Shafa Hawladar

This one is called Portrait in type. For this assignment, we had to create a person out of letters/symbols that are only found on the keyboard. This one was quite difficult to do, but was fun nonetheless. The hardest part to do was probably the jacket, as it had a lot of folds and stuff and  I mostly used Vs and |s to make the folds.  As for the hair, it was also difficult but not as much, I didn't really know what to do at first so I mostly ended up using parenthesis for an outline, but later put Xs, Vs, Us, and Ws to make the hair more detailed later on. While making the hair more detailed, I decided to start putting random symbols and stuff to darken the clothing colors and ended up looking different shades, which was pretty interesting. I think it turned out to look alright.

Breaking the Grid Shafa Hawladar

For this assignment, we had to use the 6 * 6 grids and break them using poster elements like titles/subtitles and other things. At first, I didn't really have an idea on how to do this assignment, but  I remembered stuff about type hierarchy and  googled  some fonts that would go well together. Looking for the pictures was probably the harder part of this assignment since a lot of them couldn't fit in the canvas and were quite pixelated. After a while, I managed to find some pictures that fit in the screen and an actual PNG that didn't have a secret background behind it. Remembering some stuff from type hierarchy helped with choosing text size and whether to use bold or italic and all for the other fonts. The yellow outline on the King of pop text  was mostly an accident but  I think it looks ok. Overall I think it turned out to be alright and I enjoyed making it.
