Fonts homework for graphics

image 1- I like this fonts because of its unusual serifs. I think the 'WOR' (white on red) contrast works well with the darker 'W' in the background.


image 2- Nike. This font has been Nike's logo for years, the typography of the black on white contrast (WOB) creates a clear and crisp image. I like this image because of its simplicity, and how the letters are purposefully placed close together.


Image 3- I love this font because of the typography. By using an arrow as the letter 'I' in 'Robin' and the stem of the 'H' in Hood, suggests what the genre of the following is. In addition the background of the forest adds to this emphasis.


image 4- My final image is the well recognised pixar logo. by including an image of a lamp in the font its-self suggest the animation setting it is it. Note how the letters are spaces far apart from what a fonts letters usually are. This creates clear distinction from other fonts, and is what makes it iconic.

Graphics Homework. Find 5 Graphics images.

I love this design of a tattoo because it is detailed, realistic and overall exiting to look at. This is my first design out of five.

My second image i love because of the simple edit. the man has been cut round and pasted on top of a large image of an eye, to give a realistic image of a small man cleaning a large eye.

This extreme close up of a water droplet is going to be my third image. i love this image because of  of its simplicity, and its symmetry. the colour scheme was also be interesting to edit.

This is my fourth image. i love this image because the edits on it are limitless. there are a number of images i could place at the top of the image to create an impact of all desired affects. i feel this image could have a great sense of humour.

 My final image is of many Marmit jars, shrunk and copied and pasted to give the impressing of rain droplets. some of the images have been blurred and stisted so that each jar looks different.

These 5 images are classic examples of how an image can be edited, or how you can just create something amazing without even having an image to start from.
