Dissection of a Circle


Another attempt on this exercise I have done takes advantage of the circular motion after replicating the original grid followed by the process of taking it apart. Part of my idea was to create actual dots that would follow along the path of the circle, and have the smaller ones be located in the middle of the design to create a little bit of visual depth. There are three fonts being used, including a few of their families, that are all a light cream color. I also wanted to add a red hue into the background that wasn't too vibrant, but one that brings the composition just the right amount of value in order for contrast to still show. Compared to my attempt on the first day of class, I am proud to say that I have a much better understanding about working with grids as well as designing type. This course will help me overall with future projects, and it's making me consider redoing past work just to make them better at displaying the design principles with a more creative approach. For a lack of better terms, I got something out of doing the assignments without it just being tedious work, and I hope I'm not the only one who feels this way!

  1. Tyler - this is really great. A sophisticated use of this grid, and a very evolved typographic solution. I'm tempted to use this as your final project grade (just kidding!).
