I had a bit of trouble with the previous assignment, so this time I tried to pay more attention to the composition aspect of the assignment. Our fourth assignment was designing with type. I love type, so below are my three compositions. I was advised to engage the edges of my document more and to think more of the frame that the composition is in. Something else that I learned today that helped me focus on abstract art is its definition. I used to think that abtract was anything that came to our mind. But actually abstract art is derived from visual reality that is distilled or transformed by reducing resemblence to the original source. That really helped me understand that it was simpler than I made it to be. Though this assignment was supposed to focus on type, I designed my compositions in such a way that they reflect something that could happen in real life. For example, in my first compsition, the e's are hanging on, but one fell. The first e-j combination are clinging to each other, but the next e ends up falling and thus break the chain of unity and connection.
