Kerning

Kerning is the process of adjusting the spacing between type in a proportional font. The purpose is to achieve a visually pleasing result. If a font is well-kerned, the two-dimensional blank spaces between each pair of characters all have a visually similar area. The serifs on a character usually line up when bringing type closer to each other. This is makes the font look pleasing to the eye. This is an example of a type that I kerned. 

Google in Depth

 This is Google's original logo from 1998. Google went through many different logos through the years up until now. 

The same colors and ideas are used throughout the years. Primary colors are used for the type. The creators of the logo wanted to show the world they weren't "rule followers", so they added a secondary color on the L. Google changes their logo on different occasions. On occasions when disaster strikes, Google makes their logo colorless to pay respect. 

eMagine

The eMagine festival was a great success! It was so much fun dressing up and seeing all my friends. On top of that, we got the opportunity to see many spectacular pieces of graphic designs, web designs, videos, and animations. It amazed me how much creativity, thought, and hard work these students put into their projects. My favorite was "The Wall". The actors were awesome and the film was very creative. All in all, it was an awesome night!

101 Dalmatians Movie Poster

My movie poster is on 101 Dalmatians. Cruella De Vil is the highlight of my poster. She is all black with a white dalmatian fur coat. The coat is placed on her body in a sort of messy way to create an aritistic feeling. The coat is outlined in black in most areas and in some, the white coat blends into the white background. My movie poster is simple, just like Saul Bass' movie posters. It has 2 things that reveal the story(the fur coat and Cruella De Vil). Saul Bass' usually have 2-3 things. I have 3 colors including black and white. The red makes the poster pop. Bass' posters have 3-5 colors including black and white, like the poster below. The poster is easy to look at and is simple.
