Counter Form Imagery Studies as shown in the image I started the project by selecting the suitable font that I agreed upon in order to find negative and positive spaces and shapes
Used tools for the project I used a view finder and the type sheets in order to find negative and positive shapes so that could trace the font
Within the process I have made some mistakes as the lines turned out not to be within the boxes which was challenging to trace within the lines and to keep it clean
An example of the ink trace that wasn't accurate
As from my first mistake I had to repeat the process and tried to keep the lines within the box
The best 25 chosen images of the abstract letters • • • First I created a list of 36 images traced from the type of letters of the sheet that was given to us in class. I have enjoyed the learning process as I have experienced how to create abstract images by placing the view finder on my favorite letter, which made it look different. I observed an artistic view that allowed me to color and decide which part should be inked , to make the negative and positive spaces appear in each box. I chose the first box on the top left corner, where I highlighted the background of the letters on the side of the box so it made it pop out and stand as if I was highlighting the two letters. Another example is the letter O, which I kept simple and inked the letter while I kept the surrounds white, which made it exceptional. I used numbers in my abstract and what is interesting about the image is that I added numbers and part of the letters that gave them a shape and edgy look, which I think looks interesting. I found the curves of the letters that I chose interesting and placed them in the middle of the box or on the edge depending on each letter and its size.
What I have learned so far • Learning the many differences in color scheme and how to color the selected areas such as negative and positive counter forms • Developing the choices in colors and choosing what is suitable from the options of the color schemes • Experiencing the use of types of form • Choosing the curve of letters and deciding which fits the outline best • Creating different shapes and forms out of the letters and numbers
32 chosen letters and numbers based on negative and positive shapes
Final black and white poster 60*90 cm I have created this shape by tracing the letter X and rotating it to fit the image in one line with the other letters and printed out a poster size 60*90 cm as requested
Form & counter form poster The final poster includes the form of letters we chose, I have experimented the colors and fonts that’s suitable for the poster, I have learned new terms in imaging such as flush left ragged right when I need to add and align a text , in Arabic its called flush right ragged left. what's also interesting the use of colors and experimenting the shades while designing, I have created 4 different posters in pink , blue, and green till I have finally felt the yellow looks best with the letters I chose and it looked appealing with the shades of yellow and dark maroon font.
