Gestalt Letters Shafa Hawladar


This one is Similarity. After looking at examples and stuff on what similarity was like I immediately thought of using M and W for it as they both look the same except it's flipped. At first, it was only meant to be 8 big M and Ws reflected but later changed it up and made some more versions. The line color being different from the font color was done by accident when trying to change the colors but then I thought the idea of same color background/font and different color line would be cool so I ended up changing the 2nd and 3rd row. I think it turned out to be ok, though there's still some stuff that needs fixing.
This one is Continuity. It was actually not that difficult to make, and while looking for examples of continuity, I decided to do an O chain, I think the O chain spiral is pretty simple looking and fun to do, and it seems to turn out fine.
This one is Proximity. Proximity was much more difficult compared to the other ones in my opinion. I didn't have a clue on what I was going to do for this one. After some time looking, I decided to make the whole background a bunch of Ss and make a bridge using As and Is as that was the first thing that came to mind.
This one is Closure. This one was actually much easier than the other ones as closure was just letting your mind fill what's missing so just adding a couple of things is all it takes. I had some doubts on the O but then later decided to leave it like that, I think it turned out alright.
This one is Figure Ground. This one was probably the 2nd hardest one to make, but since it was the final one I made, and since  I had gotten a bit more of an idea on what tools can do what, I was able to make it  quicker than expected. It seems to be a little plain, 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.
