Anatomy of a Font

This week we took a test to see what font best matched our personality. My font is Architype Van Doesburg.  All the letters in my name have different meanings. Stem means it is a straight vertical stroke. Counter is the partially or fully closed space within a character. Arm is the upper or lower stroke that is attached on one end and free on the other. The tail is the descender of a stroke. Crossbars connect to the stroke. Shoulders are the curved stroke of the h, m, and n. Aperture is the open space that occurs in a "c." Bowls are the enclosed space within the character. The bar is the horizontal stroke in a character. Last but not least is the leg. The leg is the straight part of the "k." Take a look at my name above!

What is Graphic Design to me? To me graphic design is visual communication to the world. It is also a way to communicate to people without having to talk to them. I think graphic design is unique because you can make it anyway you want. It can be bold or quite, loud and annoying, pink, green, circle shaped or triangle shaped. There are no rules in graphic design so you can make it your own and let your imagination do the work. You get to make it your own, however you want it.                         http://www.aiga.org/what-is-design/

Weekly Blog 10/28/17

They story I watched was a little boy who received a special Christmas,  It all started when a little boy took his moms phone and posted a video of himself on his moms Facebook. He then later appeared on Ellen and was interviewed by  Ryan Seacrest and Kris Jenner. He shocked people with his knowledge on dinosaurs.   The anchors brought his toys on the show so he could show them what he knows. The anchors gave them their full attention and that to me made watching this story better. A lot of background information was given as the anchors asked him the 5 W's.  I personally feel they did a good job with the interview. I will take the skill of really interacting and engaging with people for further interviews.Also, adding more background information to set the scene.

Check Out This Bouncing Ball!

  My Animation This is my animation of my bouncing ball. I made this animation in Photoshop. We have been learning about the 12 principles of animation; squash and stretch and ease in/ ease out. I learned that by using the timeline panel everything is done frame by frame. Then you have to repeat all the steps. To me the hardest part of this project was getting all the frames in order and making sure you didn't have two or more of the same frames.  Animation Links   To learn more about animation click the link and watch the video below!   AnimationPrinciples Check out this video on ease in/ ease out!
