Axial Grids

Image 1 (narrow columns):

With a narrow column width for the names and the title it becomes easy to read. Although there is large areas of blank space the text engages those areas with these narrow columns.

Image 2 (transparency): 

With a use of different transparencies of the color red. This poster becomes very readable. Your attention is pulled to the brightest color which is the title.

Image 3 (horizontal movement): 

The horizontal movement of the text going across the page helps bind the large words going vertical. Although there is other colors on the page you find yourself looking at the horizontal words first.

Image 4 (shaped background):

The triangle shapes in the background help angle your eye into the bold title. They then help your eye around the page to the content.

Image 5 (implied shaped axis):

Although the page may seem empty. The position of each body of text helps form the square in the middle.

Image 6 (diagonal axis):

Now, that it has been a few days since starting typography class again it brings me back into the mind set of a designer! After discussing all the different aspects in type , it reminded me how powerful type is. Now, with that being said the thing with type is that whatever font or style of characters a person uses it still has to be thoughtful to be genuine. So, that was reaffirmed for me during class in that what the text is saying and the purpose of the text for the audience has to coincide with it’s design to be truly useful and sufficient.
