Everyone got given a theme and mine was ww2. So for the first page I thought it could be an introduction so there is infantry, tanks and planes as one whole simple shape this is done by overlapping and silhouette. The second page has a sergeant rank badge and a gun leaning on it to emphasise ground soldiers and is an abstraction so not showing the entire image. However this could spread onto two pages so that there is an equal amount of space on these two pages as the planes and tank page etc...
Again on the page for planes there is an abstraction so it is highly reliant on peoples knowledge of the war but this icon of the spitfire is enough to indicate it is focusing on planes. And lastly tanks which is a complex mechanism so its easier to pick the main part of a tank in this case the tank track so you know that is the focus without showing to much and being still a background entity.
Now I need to apply what I have learnt to my Character profile bible.
- Simplicity
- Shapes
- Colour
- Alignment
- Tones Values (opacity distance.)
- One entity not two that get your attention off track.
- Focal Point
- Proximity-clutter but done well e.g. more than one shape being put together by overlapping etc and making it one overall shape.
- Sweeping lines=people follow these.
- Common fate, people all same size walking,looking same direction repetition.
- Closure=not showing everything using negative space.
- Remember the difference witht the foreground and the background.
- figure out the grand voice.
- Eye line.
- Don't make it too dramatic.
- don't make it to static and make you look off the page.
