Project 1_Symbolism Design
EXCERISE 1- GESTALT NURSERY RHYME
For this project, I choose to portray “Twinkle, Twinkle, little star” through Gestalt princples.
What did you learn?
I learned a lot about the basic fundamentals of design. As a result, I never noticed that there were so many common principles being applied to famous brands and other companies that make their logos and brands encapsulating.
What was easy?
For me, what was easy was following the principles everything was pretty intermediate level of diffculty.
What was challenging?
What wasn’t challenging is the real question! However, jokes aside, the most challenging aspect was generating ideas of design to represent my nursery rhyme and apply to Gestalt’s principles.

My submission could have been improved by challenging my artistic mind and really pushing my imagination to it’s limits. By that I mean, exploring and experimenting with the shapes and Gestalt’s principles like some of my fellow peers.
How could I improve the assignment for the next class?
You can improve the assignment for the next class by maybe not making us just use black and white but exploring various colors and methods.

I might not, but, will apply this knowledge in my future assignments or work scenarios because Gestalt’s principles really solidifies on the direction in making key art. For these reasons, I can apply this when I do other assignments or work scenarios to output quality art work.
