Shrine Down the Hall

Critique

People see my desk in black and white. The reason that it’s in black and white is because i believe that all people, should have privacy. It’s also softened a bit so a lot of things are harder to see. People can see different things on my desk that represents myself like an iPod which represents music.

It has repetition which is the blinds. The thing that is being contrasted is the stack of things to the window. I think the iPod is being emphasized. There is asymmetrical balance. The elements of design work together to create unity.

I think this means that different things in different people’s room have a different message and symbol to how they are. I think that it may say that i value different things. Like music, represented by the iPod, also organization, represented by the organized desk.

I think the shrine down the hall is successful. The elements of design do work together to create unity. It is created neatly and looks good.

Ad Re-Design

Critique

There is a toothbrush with the message reversed. The original message is that the toothbrush is supposed to be fun while brushing your teeth because it plays music. The new message it that it wastes energy and you need to spend more money. People see a toothbrush with cool red lines coming out of it.

The letters has repetition. The white letters are being contrasted to the dark background. The toothbrush is being emphasized. The photo has asymmetrical balance. All the elements of design work together to create unity.

The message of the new ad says that electronic singing toothbrushes are a waste of money and energy. I thought of this because the original message says that singing toothbrushes are really fun and can make brushing your teeth fun. But I think its just a waste of time.

I think the ad re-design is successful. The elements of design do work together to create unity. It is created neatly and looks good.

Dreams/Memory Photography

Critique

    There is a city with a giant bear attacking a building. The city is really nice and isn’t foggy. There are also other buildings behind the attacked one. And a ocean on the side.

    The buildings represent repetition. The building to the sky is being contrasted. The teddy bear is being emphasized. The photograph has asymmetrical balance. All the elements of design work together to create unity.

    The photograph may say that I dream about teddy bears attacking cities. This dream is unrealistic because a giant teddy bear can move unless it was electronic.

    I think the photograph is successful. The elements of design work together to create unity. I think it’s created neatly. i think it looks good.

Collage

Critique
    There is a huge hello kitty. There is also a panda in a corner.In the hello kitty bow, there is my eye. There is also a shoe on the side. The hello kitty, panda, and shoes are my personal items. The words are Hello Kitty.
    The pattern in the self portrait is the back, where there are repeating words. The thing that is being contrasted the the hello kitty face to the background. The hello kitty face is being emphasized. It has asymmetrical balance. The elements of design work together to create unity.
    I’m not sure what it means. It may say that I value shoes, hello kitty, and pandas. It represents my cultures because pandas are from China.
    I think that it is successful. The elements of design work together to create unity. I think the collage is created neatly. It looks good.

Surrealistic Self Portrait

Critique
    There is a pineapple house (spongebob’s house) and outside of the house there is spongebob, patrick and a girl which is me. People see spongebob, patrick, a girl, and jellyfish outside spongebob’s pineapple house.
    The pattern is the color of the pineapple house. The thing that is being contrasted is the color of the pineapple to the water. The thing that is being emphasize the the characters. There is symmetrical balance. The elements of design work together to create unity.
    I think the self portrait means that you are never too old to watch spongebob. It symbolizes that I like to watch t.v. and spongebob.
    I think the self portrait is successful. The elements of design do work together to create unity. It is created neatly and looks good.

Warhol Self Portrait

Critique
    There are 9 images all in different colors. The colors are complementary colors so they compliment each other. People see a person’s face with different colors.
    The self portrait has a repeating pattern by the image of the face. The thing that is being contrasted is the color of the face to the hair then to the background. The thing that is being emphasized is the bright colors. The self portrait is asymmetrical. All the elements of design create unity.
    When the color changes pictures, it might say something else from the original picture. I don’t think that it says anything about me. I’m not sure how the colors represents my culture. I don't know what the colors symbolize.
    I think the self portrait is successful. I think the elements of design work together to create unity. I think the self portrait is created neatly. I think it looks good.

Digital Calendar

Critique
    In the background, there is a picture of a sunset. Then there is the year in the upper left hand corner. Then, the months are scattered around the paper.
    The pattern is the font of the months and the numbers. The thing that is being contrasted it the sky to the sunset to the ground.The thing that is being emphasized is the year. The digital calendar has asymmetrical balance. The elements of design work together to create unity.
    I think that the calendar can represent that everyone is beautiful in their own way (sunset). Also that you can change overtime. I’m not sure if the calendar says anything about me.
    I think that the calendar is successful. The elements of design work together to create unity. I think it is created neatly. I think it looks good because the background is unique.
