Design 3 Task 9 - Chosen Apple

Design 3 Task 8

Design 3 Task 7

Cert 3 Design 3 Task 7 Shoes

I worked on a process of elimination, matching what seemed to be the most obvious shoe/label combination.

1^st Mesquite with cowboy boots. The era suggested by both (wild west) pls the rivet marks on the letters matching the markings on the boots

2^nd snell Roundhand with fluffy mules. Flourishes on letters suggested fluffyness

3^rd Tekton with platform wedges - less easy but lettering and platforms suggested tall and leggy

4^th Arnold Bocklin with ankle boots. An intuitive leap. The umlaut and shoes both suggested german to me.

5^th Campus and gym boots - apparently now called high tops. Black & white lettering with a black and white shoe, and “campus” with a shoe that reminded me of student s

Last Cooper Black - short wide babyish letters, short wide child shoes. The bold (blackness) also suggested the dirtiness of the shoes

Task 2 - Squares

"tension - A tenuous balance maintained in an object between opposing formal or allegorical forces or elements often causing anxiety (from dissonance to angst to pain) or excitement (from the simply interesting to the utterly sublime). It embodies what is sometimes called edginess or frisson; and bears comparison to unity, harmony, and variety.
Tension might be considered one of the principles of design."

The Symetry in the upper right is opposed by the placement of only one object in the lower left which is, additionally, out of alignment.

So, I'm a geek aficionado of semantics. Mea culpa.

It's a requirement of my Graphics Design Course. Eighteen years on the web, and I don't think I've even looked at a blog before.
