Gestalt&#8217;s designs are all around us and it was eye opening to see how much influence he has on logo design today. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><mark style=\"background-color:#ffe2c7\" class=\"has-inline-color\">What was easy?<\/mark><\/strong> The platform of Figma is fairly easy to use. Thinking up storytelling in a representational way should have been easy, but got your mind working to think what you could use to depict the nursery rhyme you choose. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><mark style=\"background-color:#ffe2c7\" class=\"has-inline-color has-foreground-color\">What was challenging?<\/mark><\/strong> It was a bit challenging to implement six principles in the art series of designs. I found myself going back to a couple that were in my comfort zone, but I had to reevaluate some of my designs in order to make work for the assignment. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><mark style=\"background-color:#ffe2c7\" class=\"has-inline-color\">How could you submission be improved?<\/mark><\/strong> By choosing the &#8220;Itsy Bitsy Spider&#8221; I had many primitive shapes that I could use to depict the story more realistically than my peers. Possibly next time I could try to think outside of the box and be more representational and work more abstractly to challenge myself further. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><mark style=\"background-color:#ffe2c7\" class=\"has-inline-color\">How could the professor improve the assignment for the next class?<\/mark><\/strong> I think introducing the rule of thirds and the grid tools earlier on in the project could help to create more successful designs. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><mark style=\"background-color:#ffe2c7\" class=\"has-inline-color has-foreground-color\">How might you apply your knowledge in future assignments or work scenarios?<\/mark><\/strong> By learning the Gestalt principles I could implement his theories into my future logo designs. With his principles I could really see how they draw the views are to a certain area and I think that will really benefit my designs in the future. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><mark style=\"background-color:#ffe2c7\" class=\"has-inline-color has-foreground-color\">How did a specific reading of video inspire you? <\/mark><\/strong> Throughout the topic my favorite reading that was introduced was one written by Steven Bradley on <em>Smash Magazine<\/em>. This article really helped me understand the reasoning behind each principle as well as visualize really life example with the &#8220;World Wildlife Fund&#8221; panda. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"664\" src=\"https:\/\/comdma.com\/fontanag\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/250\/2022\/09\/DMA214-project-1-genevievef-1-1024x664.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-10\" srcset=\"https:\/\/comdma.com\/fontanag\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/250\/2022\/09\/DMA214-project-1-genevievef-1-1024x664.png 1024w, https:\/\/comdma.com\/fontanag\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/250\/2022\/09\/DMA214-project-1-genevievef-1-300x194.png 300w, https:\/\/comdma.com\/fontanag\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/250\/2022\/09\/DMA214-project-1-genevievef-1-768x498.png 768w, https:\/\/comdma.com\/fontanag\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/250\/2022\/09\/DMA214-project-1-genevievef-1-1536x995.png 1536w, https:\/\/comdma.com\/fontanag\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/250\/2022\/09\/DMA214-project-1-genevievef-1-2048x1327.png 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Frame 1:<\/strong> <em>The itsy bitsy spider, climbed up the water spout.<\/em><br>The Gestalt principals I used are: multi-stability<br>The focal point is: the spider<br><strong>Frame 2:<\/strong> <em>Down came the rain,<\/em><br>The Gestalt principals I used are: repetition, proximity, similarity<br>The focal point is: the rectangle that is about to hit the spider\u2019s head.<br><strong>Frame 3:<\/strong> <em>And washed the spider out.<\/em><br>The Gestalt principals I used are: closure, repetition, multi-stability, similarity<br>The focal point is: the rain overlapping the center of the spider.<br><strong>Frame 4<\/strong>: <em>Out came the sun<\/em>,<br>The Gestalt principals I used are: closure, multi-stability<br>The focal point is: the middle black space in between the \u201csun ray\u201d and the black background.<br><strong>Frame 5:<\/strong><em> And dried up all the rain.<\/em><br>The Gestalt principals I used are: repetition, proximity, continuation, similarity, multi-stability<br>The focal point is: the middle set of rectangles.<br><strong>Frame 6:<\/strong> <em>So the itsy-bitsy spider, climbed up the spout again.<\/em><br>The Gestalt principals I used are: Continuation\/common fate, Similarity, Shared Fate<br>The focal point is: The rectangle the spider is in.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What did I learn?
