Starting Point
0First attempt was mostly based on spacing and offering information
0Looking back I can see a lack of conscious design principals
Second Round
0Here I am trying to get rid of clutter while at the same time creating a sense of flow
0Trying to play with text, subtext, and image as information
Moving Along
0At this point I still hadn’t figured out that the grayed out image just was not working.
0Rather than letting the text stand out, it was even more of a distraction.
0Playing with spacing and alignment was fun and started to open things up.
0Landscape formatting seemed to fit better as well
Progress
Full Color… at last
0Utilizing the image’s full color really helped the sign pop and grab attention.
0Alignment near the edges, crowds things and makes the sign looked more cramped than it is
More Color Fun… POW!
Playing with Type and alignments
0 In these slides I played with color, formatting, and type face
0 I wanted to see what things would look like if a made a very bright sign. Seemed to work in some ways, maybe not in every way
0Making the font very big, changing up the wording, and messing with my alignment was helping me break out a bit.
At Last…
In the end…
0 I chose to mellow things out a bit0 I used the college’s school colors, gray scaled the
photo, changed up the pro-nouns, and took a face out of the equation
0Here I wanted the audience to take the personality out of the picture and focus on the steps (literally/figuratively)
0 I feel like this sign grabs to viewer, but hopefully does not overwhelm
