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. It was pretty fun to do  and although  they're mostly not symmetrical I think it turned out to be ok like that.




This one is Closure. This one was one of the more difficult ones to do, as I usually used white boxes to cover something so there could be closure,  but I think it turned out to be alright. I mostly removed some words from some paragraphs and then kept those words but removed others in the opposite paragraphs. 



This one is Figure Ground. This one was probably one of the harder ones to do as well, and I didn't know what to do for this one. I had to look up some examples but they looked pretty difficult as well, eventually I decided to make some sort  of snake like line by spacing out and deleting a bunch of letters. It was originally supposed to end as soon as the space touched the bottom but then I decided to bring it back up and although it's a bit wobbly looking I think it turned out ok.

Picasso Painting Reflection

Image
  Jacqueline with Flowers is the first portrait of Picasso's second wife. It was a  starting point of a new stage in his personal life and a new period in his work. When they met, he had just begun to work on the Algerian Women series after the famous painting by Eugène Delacroix. She shot shortly after Picasso died.  Full of highly saturated vibrant colors, Pablo Picasso Jacqueline with Roses, 1956, illustrates one of the works in a series based on Jacqueline. Combining the use of delicate expressive imagery and bold abstract cubism, it helps  evoke a sense of delight and contentment.  Pablo Picasso continued creating art right until his death on April 8, 1973 at the age of 91 . He had been painting just a few hours before he died. For this assignment, we had to color over Picasso's painting and use the brush tool so we could learn more about photoshop. This didn't seem too difficult to do at first, as Picasso's painting didn't have too many colors on it, ...

Self Portrait in colour

Image
This one is called Self Portrait in colour.  This was much harder to do compared to the self portrait in gray, but it was more fun in comparison. Not the biggest fan of coloring but getting to color and create a background was fun to do. I was also able to fix any mistakes I made in the self portrait in gray. The owl was a bit difficult but I like how it turned out. I like nature and also used to do one color drawings so making the forest  background was probably  my favorite part of the whole thing.  Putting color on my jacket and stuff was a bit hard, but I had fun fixing my hair and adding highlights and stuff to it. Overall, I really like how it turned out.

Portrait In Type Shafa Hawladar

Image
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.
