Distorted


White on Black

This image works because there are the two colors, white and black but the image has a good mix up of these two colors. The polka dots in the background work really well with the image because they make the image pop and better as far as being able to see. The cursive script I used in the writing works well because it creates a calm feeling in contrast to all the confusion in the backdrop.

Camouflage

This image works for "camouflage" because usually when someone says camouflage, you think of blending in or woodsy colors. So, the camouflage I used in the background is made up of forest colors and the words are the same opacity as the background so they blend in and are hard to find and pick out.

Stable

This image is "stable" because it has the jumbled letters that are looking like they are going to fall or topple over, but they are being held up and STABLE by the bold, black word stable on the bottom.

Quiet

This image represents the word "quiet" well because it has the calming colors in the background with the teal and light yellow. It also has the fading out gradient in the back drop which is a quiet effect because it is slowly fading out rather than rapidly which would create energy that is loud. The gradient is also applied in the text and slowly fades out, using opacity. This creates a quiet affect as well. Finally, the words go from large to small as they progress across and down the page.

Loud

This image looks loud because the background of the gradient looks explosive which is shown by the colors of fire. Secondly, there are really small words in the background that are being overpowered by the "loudness" of the word "LOUD" in bold black over the entire image. Finally, the small words in the background are repetitive and contrast with the bold top layer.

Implied


Active

This design looks "active" because the colors are vibrant and electric against the black background, the words are floating around the page and make your eyes wander with them, and the colors are the main colors on the color wheel and also the colors of the rainbow so they are relatable.

Bag Design Break Down

My bag design relates to the meaning of my logo on the front because it is my logo but with a colorful backdrop. While looking up photos and ideas to use for my bag, I found a picture of a gorgeous sunset behind a field of wheat and thought it was a good idea so in my back drop of the front, I used the colors of a sunset, red, yellow, and orange. I added some green to the mix as well to create a mix between warm and cool colors. On the sides, I incorporated the same colors and on the back, I had the bottom part of my design upside down and looking like it is pouring out the grain that was used to make it. I used a few colors that were from the front and sides of the bag in what the loaf was pouring out to make the back be a part of the front design. I had most of my surprises on the back of the bag with the gray I used in contrast to the vibrant colors everywhere else. I also put some common shapes that people can identify (stars) within the grain on the back that was raining out. The best part of my design, I think, is the loaf logo itself because it is surrounded by a glowing circular shape, which causes emphasis.

Loaf Logo Large

This logo is made to represent loaf. I think it does do a very good job of this because of the wheat/grain that seemingly grows out of the bread-like (loaf) shape that is tipped upside down to look like a bowl (bread bowl).
