Lauren Tokash - Project 4 + 5



I would first like to say, I could have sworn I already posted Project 4 for the life of me, but I cannot find it anywhere, so I am making a new post. With this Project, I felt like it was right up my alley and something I was more comfortable with. Though from what I saw everyone capture a lot more up close textures, I found myself gathering the whole image. I do not believe this set me back as it still worked out perfectly fine. My board has a specific pattern of the very outside columns consisting of photos that are vertical based. The inside rows of photos are all horizontal based. The color scheme is not consistent, but what stands out are the greens and pops of reds. In Project 5, I have worked with a few of Adobe products like Photoshop, and I heard how Illustrator is so much better than Photoshop, but have yet to play around with it. This was another project I was excited to dive into and explore my skills. The first trace was pretty repetitive as it was originally a photo of a brick wall. Within the brick layout is different toned brick, and I attempted to brick that with different tints of teal. When I tried to make a pattern, I ended up with a near magnifying effect. The other trace I think is kind of rad. It sort of resembles camouflage. The original picture was a door with a rust spot of paint. When placing the pattern around, I made each piece come together and nearly collide. I adjusted each in different sizes to fill spaces where I felt appropriate to almost make two objects that look like they are about to crash or touch. There is a bit of negative space around but because of the way two corners are filled and then taper to be smaller towards the middle, it creates movement and draws the eye to the center. It keeps a viewer away from the negative space. Also, it is balanced.
