Blog Post 16 (Extra Credit #2)

This is another project from my own portfolio. It's another wallpaper I made for my room. The font I used is a sans serif, it's called "NBA New York Knicks." It says "I will never lose my passion". I think I did a solid job using the text as a special effect and keeping it legible at the same time. I wanted to use some perspective on this, sort of to create the feel that the image is moving from the center on out. I am attracted to this because I spent a good 5-7 hours making everything as I wanted, and I like how the perspective of the title creates movement within the design. I used Adobe Photoshop to create this, I made it a couple years back while experimenting with my typography skills.

This design makes me sort of uncomfortable, yet I am strangely attracted to it. The type is serif, I think it may be Times New Roman. Maybe the "VooDoo" type gives off a dangerous, creepy feel to the viewer. Or maybe it's the dark background that collaborates with the fire to create a chaotic, spooky, yet silent image for the viewer to investigate. Whatever it is, it's very successful. Everything is legible, and the use of color is successful because it's just enough color to draw the reader's attention without interrupting the dark mood that the designer wanted to create. I was attracted to this because of odd, abstract, surreal look in this design. It doesn't really fit my style, yet I was attracted to it because of it's uniqueness.

Did I mention I love sports? The cover type is sans serif. I am unsure of the specific typeface, but I would categorize it as more of a decorative font with a geometric feel. The designer made a good choice to go with a white background, as it fits with the image and goes along with the silent mood the cover athlete is portraying. Another element I really appreciate about this is the sizing. The "NEXT" type is the same height as the image, so both compliment each other well. I was attracted to this because of the simplicity, as with many of my other posts. I like the use of yellow, and the little black arrow created as a symbol within the text.This is a scan of an ESPN the Magazine issue from April of 2018.
