Butler_Natalie_Project 4 & 5

For project 4 I took a lot of pictures of a lot of different things and truly picked my words after I saw the collection put together. Some of the pictures were close ups of different textures. When picking the images out for this board I them to sort of contrast each other, mainly the nature from the man-made objects. I also knew I wanted a variety of different things in nature as well as man made elements. I also went for irregularity and randomness when putting them altogether. when putting the board together i wanted the trees in the middle to separate some of the other images. from there i the rest in some what of a patterned out pattern. the right upper corner had a pop of color that i also put in the bottom left corner to add some balance. the visual appeal and how it applies to me goes like this: i really like the woods and outdoors because i grew up outside going on nature walks with my dad and also hunting with him too so seeing the fallen leaves and the trees it reminds me of good times outside wiith my dad and it makes me feel comfortable. There are two types of pictures that look like grids which to me makes me feel good because i love to use grid paper to draw on and create tons of patterns on. there are also some objects that look like faces and that applis to my humor because i love to find and point out random faces found in random places like on a ceiling or a flashdrive.


PROJECT 5

 For project i chose a pile of logs to take my sketch and pattern from. the reason why there are 2 patterns was because i made them and i liked them both that i couldn't decide what one to pick so i put them both in. i will say working with adobe illustrator is difficult in the beginning but once i got the hang of it i was well on my way to being successful though it did take me a couple of tries to get thing right. these two designs are both different shapes but the same shape repeated over and over again. i feel like with the second design there is more unity because they fit together in an even way. the first design has some unity but is very loose in that it contrasts.
