Final Design & Rationale A4 size JPEG format Resolution at least 300 dpi File naming format:  The Glitched Epigraph_Dariush Kashiri Task 3  Creative Concept The central concept of this design is the concept of the metaphor of information corruption. The ancient Persepolis column and Darius the Great's big inscription reveal power, lasted history, and people's desire to live forever. By cutting and repositioning these aging components on an uncompromising modern grid, I demonstrate the effect of time, change, and new technology in breaking all the way even the strongest of records.   This visual trick is responsible for creating a break in structure. At first people see a messy picture with glitches of old ruins. When they look closer, they have to fill in the missing parts and read the broken text to imagine the stone column again. This create...

TASK 3:Development & Design

Image
1. Introduction   In Task 3, we need to select one idea that we wrote in Task 2 and complete it as a visual design. There are rules of design such as contrast, balance and Gestalt that we use to create a clear artwork that communicates a visual message. This is the part of moving from theory to actual work, completing layout, font and color. 2. Development & Design Process   For my final result, I have decided to combine two good ideas from Task 2: "The Asymmetrical Editorial Layout" and "Glitched Typography Poster". I utilized Affinity app in order to work both on the layout and on the images editing. Creative Process:   The central concept of this design is the concept of the metaphor of information corruption. The ancient Persepolis column and Darius the Great's big inscription reveal power, lasted history, and people's desire to live forever. By cutting and repositioning these aging components on an uncompromising modern grid, I demonstrate the effe...

Task 2: Visual Analysis & Ideation

Image
1. Introduction This task involves doing a proper investigation and documentation of the selected digital illustration from the previous exploration phase. The point is to closely view the artwork by studying its use of the design principles, compositions and how well it communicates the message behind it. After this analysis, the task requires that you develop three original design concepts inspired by the visual strategies you see in the work you selected for analysis and include descriptions and visual references to each strategy. 2. Visual Analysis Our task is to look at and study the art or design work that we chose in Task 1 and record and analyze it. We will look at the design rules used in the piece, as well as at the size, where it is put, its purpose, and how well it works.

Task 1: EXPLORATION

Image
1. Introduction This task reviews different design principles and applications of them.  In Visual communication, we use design in order to show meaningful messages; therefore, we must apply the elements and principles of design in correct ways. Design principles are Contrast, Balance, Emphasis,  Rules of Third, Repetition/Pattern/Rhythm, Movement, Hierarchy, Alignment, Harmony, Unity, and Proportion. They are Organizational fundamental tools to arrange the elements such as Point, Line, Shape, Form, Texture, Space and Color. The task also requires to choose a good design, write its credit line, enumerate the visual ideas which are observed in the design and write a brief analysis as to why it is selected. 2. Describing Design Elements 2.1 Point Point Point is the most basic element, we can use it as repetitive marks, and it shapes lines, in addition it can move among spaces and make two or three-dimensional shapes. 2.2 Line Line Line is created by points are as repet...
