topography
- for this image i added a  symbol for mequite high school with opacity so you could see the band and the cheerleaders in the back
i also added a refeere who is saying its a touchdown along with the guys cheering.
i wanted to put the word vasity bigger, but i like how the bright green contrast in the back makes it pop and stand out

year book designs 

1.

I chose this theme because mardi gras has yellow and green which is what the school colors are. So i used the two masks as a focus point to make the beads make the cover seem decorative and pretty. I liked the yellow mask better because it seemed more clean and fancier. 

2.

i liked my design because i incorporated plenty of seniors in the front and juniors in the back . i also  put " we are all different but we are one big family" which has to deal with diversity but also unity. I loved my design because its cute and playful but i did not get to finish, if i continue to work on it, i am sure i will win everyone over

i used the polygon lasso to cut the faces of my classmates into a triangle so they could all fit into the cover. I also put in rectangles to make the pictures not ordinary and fun yet creative. 

3 different templates:

space

What is Space? 

Spacing is how the reader feels about the distance of space between them and the object.  you can put small objects high to make it seem like they are far. you can put big objects towards the bottom to make the appear closer. 

positive/negative

Positive space - is the area being used up by an object 

Negative space- is the area not being used by an object

i used up the postiive space on the right side by adding one big square almost covering all the bottom right side. I barely left any white space remaing. However on the left side i put three smaller versions of the square along the side and which left ample room for negative space. 

lines

line- a line can be used to outline or to imply a certain area. There are three types or lines, the type you draw (actual), dotted-lines(implied, black space (imaginary).The way i utilised my lines was to outline the 2015 and then do the lights as well as wire. 

shapes/texture

shapes- are objects that take up space such as a picture of a boy or a duck

texture- is how the objects appears to feel for example rough, smooth etc

The way i used shapes and texture in this photo was to incorporate allot of pond life creature and make it seem like one thing.Since my photo was too complex, i decided that texture was a bit too much for this picture. 

Critics: 

symmetrical- for this one i did not like how the new one came out, it looked funny and very plain. i liked my original better because it had more used up space.  I wish more of the colors i had used were also used in the new version. In fact, the new version seem as if they had erased most of my work. 

asymetrical

radial

 Symmetrical 

Asymmetrical- i also happen to like my original for this one as well but i loved my new version better because it had neon colors. It seemed to be placed in a nice place and did not affect the color balance in my original. 

Radial- for the raidal one i did not like my original version because it seemed messy and werid. The new version did not improve, i would have wanted to see some ripples or some thing but all i saw was some waves that did not seem to fit with the picture. For some peoples there radial balanced worked but i did not see a transformation and i could barely notice it.
