Principles of Design Poster Critique-Muhammad Ali

I liked this one because it's simple. i think it would have been better with a different colored background for the title but that's ok.  i like it that there aren't any really bright colors and that everything goes together so smoothly. i think the white rectangle in the background is annoying but other than that i don't think much else is wrong with it........i do think his eyebrows are a little freaky.  i like it that it's (i think)made up of pictures and that none of the edges of his face look crooked or anything.....it's kind of hard to think of what to say because i don't really like it that much. his ear (that's showing) looks stretched out and he looks sweaty. what is the shape in the white rectangle? it really bugs me when i don't know what something is. i also think it's kind of boring. it's not something that's going to catch anybodies eye or anything. i really don't think this is much help or is of much use but it's something....

 

something I did over the weekend

this one is my favorite

Self Portrait

videos

the first video was kind of almost sort of useless (notice i said almost). It was nice but i don't think i got anything out of it.

I like the second one the best because it showed how to do everything step by step. It showed how to blur parts of a picture and how to navigate and zoom in on the picture. It showed what everything on the palate was and the best thing about it was that it wasn't too long.

I pretty much zoned out through the third video because it was so long.....what I got from it was that it was a mix of the first two with some added junk/stuff.

this is the original picture

I like dark things so (duh) I made the picture darker. it was a little frustrating though, because I wanted it dark but i still wanted the center of the flower to show. unfortunately that didn't happen....I don't really care for the color pink that much so I liked it that the flower turned at least a little red. I cropped it this close because I really only liked the flower and the red in the envelope but not the rings. I didn't like it on the original that everything was so light. the pink flower made the envelope look weird and the rings looks sort of out of place.....and so that's about all I did.

Balance:

There is a half-way line that cuts the picture in two and because of the reflection I feel that the picture is balanced.

Proportion:

I don’t think that the proportion is good because it is in fourths and I think it should be thirds. I also think the picture is cut in half.

Rhythm:

The river and the clouds give it a flowing rhythm.

Emphasis:

The emphasis in the picture is the river.

Unity:

It’s unified with the river reflecting the sky and the repeat in the greens in the middle and bottom.
