Self Portrait in colour




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.

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.
