Both of these are just an average school day. I choose Futura because I like the simple and clean look it has. I didn't have a plan so much just wanted a clean or interesting design and not a "theme". The 24 just stands for 24 hours in a day, maybe thats a "theme"? Not sure if I'm stuck on anything but any ideas to improve or just change them would be great. Or if I should make a "theme" one :/
The layout of both of your compositions are fantastic, so together these would work really well with the counter-angles. Sometimes simplicity works the best and that is definitely the case in both of yours and the only font that is better than Helvetica is Futura for clean lines. The various sizes and weights work well for a hierchial effect. It seems to be obvious to me by the italic that you want to hurry that class up at 3 so you can relax. I’d really like to know how you made the outlining parts around the 11class area and 3class. In your second work, the boldness and the way you integrated your whole schedule into the 24 hours is somewhat metaphorical and very effective. I wouldn’t change anything on the first, but revision wise on the second, I’d like to maybe see more z’s? Still keep them large and bold, just add a few more because the z’s add more aesthetic value. Awesome work on both!
ReplyDeleteIt’s apparent that you can see a similar layout style on both your compositions and they’re both working very well. The simplicity and contrast between the negative space is great. The designs both remind me of illustrations you’d see on a magazine editorial; they’re fun and playful. Your first composition (probably my favorite of the two) is simple and the placement of the text on the corner is very effective. I appreciate that you kept your daily routine simple and short. I really enjoy that you used white text over the black stem. Visually, it enhances the composition a lot more. I’m trying very hard to think of something that might need work and I’m stumped. The second composition is really neat as well. It’s a lot simpler and busy. Again, the placement of the text really brings a lot to the composition as a whole. My only suggestion to play around with the smaller body of text to give it an “edgier” look (similar to the dynamics of your first composition). Other than that, great job.
