Conkers

Not that I have much to say today, but this place is looking barren. I have been too busy thinking visually the past month that I’ve forgotten the joy of words. Ah beautiful words. Words are so easy. Words don’t need a reason behind them. You can write something and someone will know exactly what you mean immediately. A picture is worth a thousand words, and that’s the problem sometimes. So much space for individual interpretation.

So what have I done the past month? Well I can tell you what I haven’t done much, and that’s sleep.  Still juggling around trying to fit a hundred things into my routine. Work, friends, projects… But its been fun, I’ve got further with uni, the work is still interesting me and I’m glad for that. Last week I was hired to create a documentary for IAW (Islam Awareness Week). So I was filming events for a couple of days. I did the same two years ago, so I knew in essence what they wanted.

So the image below is an example of what we’ve been asked to do, which is to think constantly about composition, and build a library of what you think composition in visual design is all about. Today I wanted to integrate text and shape somehow. This is all about how I found it interesting that the size and position of the text had an effect on the order in which we read things. You can find this everywhere, comic books to advertising.

Well that’s it from me. I’m so tired I keep mistaking my phone for my mouse. Hehe, later!
