Our assignment this week was to create an image using words and word placement. As I will be graduating from JMU and leaving my beloved sorority behind, I have been a bit nostalgic lately. I chose to make deltas with my words. I am a little sad about leaving, so I wanted my last project to be something I love and care about! So here is what I made, I used a picture of a delta, then filled it with words that are meaningful to me and my sorority, and then deleted the background. Hope you like it!

Color

Today we worked on the idea of color. We talked about primary, secondary, and complimentary colors. The first color palette I wanted to work with was primary because my eye usually doesn't go to primary colors, and it's not a palette I work with often. I used red, blue and yellow to create what I think is a fairly cohesive informational poster!



The poster I was creating is for a project we are doing for an on-campus church. The colors of JMU as well as the colors of the church are purple and yellow, which are also complimentary colors. I wanted to work with that to create something that could possibly be used in real life. I know the colors on this poster are a bit more pastel than bright, but I think they work and are an interesting/fun play on JMU's typical colors!

This was a very interesting project. I enjoyed the fact that we could only use black and white to depict the different images. Here are the pictures I came up with...





My favorite one that I created is the continuity one. I think it's visually appealing and goes with the concept of unity throughout the object.
