DES 120 - 2D Form

The first exercise in our class required us to create a gradient with shapes: a circle, square, and triangle.

The second exercise allowed us freedom from a grid, creating abstract shapes with the nine original shapes we created during the first exercise.

The third exercise followed a grid, using different font sizes and weights to organize type.

This exercise used the abstract shapes created in 'Exploring Abstractions' by zooming closer to the abstractions and cropping the creation into frame.

This exercise utilized the cropped abstractions from the exercise prior and added the skills learned during the 'Organizing Type' exercise.

With the abstractions created in the 'Cropping Abstractions' exercise, we added white letterforms on top of the image in order to add more to the original abstractions.

Utilizing the images procured in the previous project, given access to changing the light and dark values of the letterforms, shapes, and background of the image.

For the final project, we utilized all the skills learned throughout the exercises as well as input an image captured within the DES 150 class to create a poster design.
