The trees are high in the skies



In the IEEE Spectrum magazine, an informational article made by Mark Harris.

The page layout shows unity by using imagery and block of text with a heading on the top of page. The heading has a boarder around the words that says: “the Internet of trees.” The details include a transparent white box with antennas around it.  The heading has been indented toward the left side of the page. The title emphases that the trees are working for the internet.  In the picture, the trees are centered around the antenna. The paragraph is one page long and it’s justified to the left and right side. The block of text, the white spacing is evenly spaced on the page.

The Typography is evenly spaced for spacing and proportion. The kerning is well in proportion and evenly spaced. The heading has two colors: brown and black. The words internet and trees are brown. The words the and of are black. The typeface is times new roman serif and the style is regular.

What attract me the most about this piece was the calming atmosphere.

Remember Remember the 5th of November

I found this cover design at Champaign Library. The name of this book is called V for Vendetta. The author for this book is Allan Moore. I Remember reading this book and I loved it. For the layout they use illustration of the Guy Fawkes mask. They center that on the front page. The words in V for Vendetta are red to make it stand out and danger is ahead. The colors that’s being used is low saturation. The spacing for kerning is tight to give it some tension. The proportions are evenly spaced and balanced. The typeface that’s being used is Helvetica sans-serif and condensed. I like this cover because for it’s serious look.     Champaign Library

Shout out the answer!

In the writers magazine, Jack Smith created this informational article. The page layout has a structure that’s symmetrical. The Illustration is bigger than the article.   He wanted to emphasis the point that the mouth is shouting out the words. It creates a nice balance between using illustration and typography. The design style is complimentary. The spacing and kerning for the typography is even. The proportions are aligned and spaced evenly.   The white and black colors with the red background works well. The typeface is Helvetica Sans-serif and style will be condensed.   What attracted me about this piece was the animated and narrative approach.

No time to cook

Image
What fitting a way to end the semester. My mom and I were at the YMCA and we went inside the shop. My mom found a cookbook on the salve. She decided to pick the cookbook and buy it. The name of the book is called “no time to cook cookbook” When I looked at the cover I got the impression that was supposed to make fun of people who don’t have enough time. The center of attention is the hourglass which emphasis time. The food and pan and plate and fork placed randomly. That indicates fun and playful.  The spacing for the typography is open spaced and the words are under caps.  The words have a transparent box. They did that so you could appreciate the food. The name of the font is Helvetica sanserif and the style is regular. I like this cover because it’s fun and playful. YMCA
