Motif and Repeating Pattern

Motif and 

Repeating Pattern 


 
  These are my two repeating patterns that i made for graphic design. A motif radiates from a center point while a repeating pattern can continue if you connect the two ends.
 
     The scope of he project was to crete our own original patterns after we had done some tutorials and learned the skills. We also all voted on colors to use so that they had some form of uniformity. That taught me how to use the color books with a specific number to find the exact same shade as everyone else.

       The day after I made my repeating pattern I went to the gas station and saw the same pattern in black on a door matt! I thought it was quite funny. It just showed me how patterns are just     used everywhere and that made me giggle.
        I learned a lot during this project especially when i learned that making mistakes is sometimes good and thats how my motif was created.

    I think that your motif is really pretty! The flower shape in the center is very nice and delicate and the sharp and round edges go well together. The geometric shapes surrounding it give it a nice "depth" to it, if you get me. However, the geometric shapes look a little uneven in stroke weight. Is it intentional or is it a mistake? I think it would look a lot better if all the strokes were the same weight.

    The repeating pattern is really good, in my opinion. I like the contrast between the vertical and horizontal lines, and how the differing colors of gray and blue increase the contrast. It's just visually very appealing and i just like it in general. However, there are little white spaces between each "block" of lines. Again, I'm not sure if it's intentional or not, but I think it would look better if the white spaces weren't there and the shapes just went directly into each other. The spaces as they are disrupt the eye and make it feel jarring and a little off.

    I like how you changed the directions of the lines on the repeat pattern, and I also love how how you changed the shape on the motif as you went out farther.

    I love your Pattern and Motif! I love the way the Motif looks like it has a little baby flower blossoming out of it. I love the way your Pattern is. It has a beautiful feeling to it. Good job! :D

    I love your repeat pattern so much. I feel your motif is little to simply. The thing in the center of you motif is beautiful

    I love the motif and think it is very interesting! I also like the repeating pattern because it is so simple which I think adds to the amount of quality of the work.

Manny's Marbles Critique

I started thinking about the round playful aspect of a marble. Thats how I decided on the soft-edged font that is thick. I molded it to a circle because it showed off the marble aspect. Next I thought of how a marble bounced so I added the motion aspect to my logo. I tried to make the Marble 3D by adding a gleam.

Famous Logo Tutorial!

Google Play Logo!  This is the Google Play logo that I made with a tutorial. The logo was surprisingly easy. The most difficult part was creating the correct gradients to try and match it the best I could. Along with messing around with the opacity. I had a tom of fun making this logo and it only took me about 15 minutes to create!

Redesigned Portfolio

Wow. I am so happy with my portfolio. I think that is sleek and really shows my personality, and my aesthetic as a designer.  am really proud of how much I have learned in web design this semester. I know I am a bit off track, but I feel accomplished. My portfolio is not done by any means. I have a few things left on my to do list. I would like to like my O.P.E.N website to my portfolio along with my TV25 website. I also completely forgot to include my manny's Marbles site, which I think could add a lot to my site. I also need to delete/add links to the social media buttons after the contact page. I would say that I am very close to the finish line though. Overall things that I struggled with in this project is the header picture, the colors, and the portfolio photos. The header image took a combination of all of the adobe programs, and some assistance from Ava's photography skills. I needed an image that had a white background. So I set out into the hallway to take som...
