Typography -Brianna Chamberlain

The strongest technical aspect of my work is my symmetry. I worked really hard in order to balance each side of my project so that each letter would have a twin so that if you cut the image in half it would be the same picture.  The technical aspect that I could use improvement on is radial symmetry. The letter B was hard enough to follow normal symmetry with so trying to have the symmetry function like a circle seemed nearly impossible to me.  I need to work on radial symmetry so in the future I can balance my work better. 

The easy part of this activity was including different color values and changing opacities. I think that I have mastered the art of dispersing different values to different places on the work to balance out the color pallet. It is important to have both the negative space and different colors to spice up and make the work more pleasing to the eye.  The difficult part of this activity was learning the different tools and making sure that the art was actually symmetrical.  I could easily transform the shapes but placing them correctly aligned was difficult. 

The objective of this assignment was to include symmetry and layers.  I demonstrated the objective by duplicating all of my layers so that their shapes and sizes would all be symmetrical.  We learned how to use the transformation tools to flip shapes so they could reflect each other too. I made my B's all have different values and sizes too.  If I could do this activity again I would probably not chose this font or the letter b because it was really hard to accurately follow radial symmetry.
