Words

This is an interesting piece that was done by Paula Scher.  I really like this because she uses words in a playful way.  With they way that the words are angled and the way the words are outlined in stead of solid.  I think that having the two different color fonts really helps the compostion out because it highlights the parts of the piece that is represented all through out it.  If you have so many words you need some of them to stick out so you know what is the main focal point is.

Balanced


I think this is a good example of balanced.  You can fold the paper in half vertically and it will be perfectly matched up.  I like the way that this looks like something you would see out of a sci-fi move or manga.  It has that organic floral that is repeated through out the piece and it starts out small and together and as it gets towards the bottom of the page it opens up.  I think that they used the color well in this piece also.

Spiral


I really like this picture becuase it shows a since of movement with the lines in a geometric shape.  To me it looks like stairs with the way the lines are.  I think what would make the picture better is if it would start off lignt and as it went tighter it would get darker to show more of a depth to picture.

Drawing

I think this drawing goes along with the lesson plan that we are learning about this past week.  I did this compostion many times over with different shapes and sizes but i really like the triangles.  It has some unity through grouping.  It is chaotic yet it works well as a whole.  It plays with geometic shapes and the negative space that they can form by over lapping one another.
