Revised Blog

Carp

CARP stands for Contrast, Alignment, Repetition, and Proximity. Contrast means that the colors and the fonts all go together well. With alignment, usually you will see text that is aligned to the left. Repetition is when the style repeats itself, like the text fonts and the alignment. And proximity is how close together things are and how well they are spaced.

Layout

I decided to use a layout for my blog that I thought looked nice and also got my point across for all of my posts. The colors I used are eye catching and make the blog pop out more. 

Before/After

Before I used CARP on my blog, it looked bland and unorganized. But after I used CARP, all the sections were spaced out and I also have some links to go to different websites that have more on the topic.

Movie Poster

BackGround

In this project, we had to create a "Saul Bass" style poster based on a movie that we like. A Saul Bass poster only has 2-3 colors and is able to show important elements of the story in only 2-3 images. 

Process

I decided to do "The Dark Knight Rises" as my movie poster because I liked the movie a lot and I thought I could make a cool poster based on the movie. We had to start out this project by drawing a couple sketches of what we want it to look like and then we transferred that idea onto the computer. The main problem that I had with this project was that it
was hard to find the right color way for the poster and it was also tough finding the right font for the poster.

Outcome

 I really liked the way my poster turned out because it has minimal colors and it also has the main elements of what the movie is about.
