Spiral - Chandler Kieschnick

The spiral tutorial is a good thing to learn because the spiral shapes makes things more interesting and can draw your eye to a certain area. I chose this specific quote because I thought it was very true even though nobody will ever admit it. Also even if life is not like this for some people it is very much so like this for me!

Splat - Chandler Kieschnick

The splat tutorial really helped a lot and the use of shadows will be really great to know to make things more realistic and interesting. The splatter on the words is also really cool and attracts the eye to what you are trying to get people to look at.

Glyph Shoe- Chandler Kieschnick

For my Glyph shoe I chose to use the comic sans bold font. I used this because it was very neutral and wasn't very fancy but at the same time it wasn't like completely straight and stern letters. I changed the color to the letters and symbols to match the colors of the shoe as best i could to show the different areas and depths of the shoe more clearly, you can see which areas of the shoe are on top of the others and I think that really helps when looking at everything going on within the symbols and letters. I love shoes so that is why I decided to do a nike shoe!!

Quote- Chandler Kieschnick

To emphasize certain words i made them italicized or changed the color. I made the word everyone italicized to emphasize that everyone is literally everyone in the world and when we say everyone on a daily basis we are usually just talking about everyone we know but if we seriously think about everyone in the world including people we don't know that is a lot more people than we think. Also i italicized and changed the color to the word isn't because it is kind of the punch line of the quote and ties the whole quote together by stating again that somebody has to not be thinking for everyone to think alike.

Elements of Design

 The nike swoosh shows the element of direction. The tail of the logo is in a diagonal motion which is shown to have action and movement. In fact nike's slogan is "Just Do It" which is also a very intense action statement and they are telling everyone to go out and do something that involves movement and action. So they combined the elements of design into their slogan and logo very well.







The Mona Lisa shows the line, size, and shape elements of design. It shows line by having a clear outline made from the woman and on the woman's dress contour lines are shown for the great detail of her dress to make it look like the sleeves are scrunched up a little. Also this picture shows the shape element of design by showing the positive and negative shape. The woman in the painting is the positive shape because she almost looks as if she is 3D and popping out of the background from the picture and then all of the background around her which is less detailed is the negative shape. Lastly size is represented in this painting because the woman is so big and close and drawn to by the eye as compared to her background which looks like it is at a great distance away so it looks much smaller.







The sketches of the boat and the egg both show texture and value. The boat shows texture by the rocks and cliffs around the boat which actually look like they are very rough and rigid. The egg shows texture by abruptly changing the lightness and darkness of the shade of the line to show the crack in the egg. The crack in the egg looks very real and as many people know when you crack an egg you can see the change in texture very easily. Both of these show value by using different shades of the same utensil or "color" by doing this you can make it seem like an object has depth and perspective to it which makes it have value.










The circle of colors shows how you can get to another individual color from other colors and that they all in a way blend together which you can do by mixing blends of white, black, and some color together. The color of something all depends on how much white and black are mixed into it.
