GDS 172 - Blog 9





I really like this artistic design because it achieves unity in creative ways. I really like the repetition of the round circles because the circles don't only create rhythm in the composition but also help create the face of woman. The designer also used proximity because to achieve unity because the circles are very close to each other specially in the center of the design which really helps relate the shapes more. The designer also used similarity because most of the circles share the same size and also the same color. When i saw this creative design I saw that the designer had achieve unity in the design successfully because with the help of circles he painted a face.

The positive and negative spaces work together very well in this creative word-mark. Its creativity is what makes this work mark logo beautiful and witty which makes it stand out. The positive space which creates the text "GDS ELECTONIC" and the two plugs definitely tells you what the company logo is all about,but what really makes this logo interesting is how the negative space is activated by the way it draws the letter "E" inside the plugs. The negative space helps the positive space complete the logo. When i saw this logo I really liked who the negative space form the letter "E" which help give the illusion of a Power Plug.


In this wordmark I liked how the The hidden shoe between the company initials conveys the company message in a very smart, beautiful, witty, elegant, stylish and interesting form. The negative space is what makes this logo creative because it helps draw the shoe between the initials "ts". The positive space also contributes in laying out the white type, but its the negative space that adds the final touch by helping display the small shoe illustration which is what makes the work mark really stand out.

This image is an asymmetrical design simply because we could cut this image in half and we would end up with to different separate parts. The white space is activated in this image effectively. The main object that we see first is an illustration of a character playing the saxophone. However, the negative space also becomes part of the illustration because it helps build a musicians face and a saxophone instrument. In the image above there is a incomplete women's face. However, our mind is filling in the missing information which is to complete the formation of a women's face. Our mind starts on by building familiar shapes and images by connecting the negative and positive space. Since the negative space becomes visible and also becomes part of the main illustration (character with saxophone), this means that the white space is been successfully activated because the negative space has been properly placed. The negative space becomes an important element in the composition. This image example doesn't only show an asymmetrical design and activated white space, but it also explains closure very well.
