Gestalt: Mockup

This is from class on Wednesday 8/31. We had to find the rest of the definitions for the remaining terms which I will post underneath. While filling in remaining terms, we had to begin mockup for our Visual Order books. My digital mockup of my final book is posted here.


  • Similarity
    • When objects are related to one another by color, shape, or texture, viewers will group these individual elements together
  • Proximity
    • When the correlation of objects relies on how close the objects are to each other
  • Closure
    • When an object is incomplete, or not fully closed, but the overall shape can be perceived by filling in the missing information.
  • Continuation
    • When the viewer interprets a line of curve as a continuous path, rather than separate lines
  • Figure / Ground
    • The distinction and perception of objects that stand out from its background
  • Symmetry / Order
    • The impression that nothing in the composition is out of balance, missing, or wrong
  • Asymmetrical Balance
    • When unequal visual weight is balanced with one side containing a dominant element and the other containing several smaller objects
  • Dilation
    • A figure expanding from a central point
  • Focal Point
    • When the main point or object is emphasized or different to catch and hold attention
  • Uniform Connectedness
    • Elements that are considered more connected by visual characteristics, such as a line, than elements that are not

Gestalt: Final

This post is going to be combining a few different class days in Visual Communication I. Wednesday 9/7 : We toured the Print Shop and got our information to print our final version of our Visual Order: Gestalt books. I did not get a desk crit with Emmy that day. Monday 9/12:  I was absent this day with a doctor's note, but I sent my mockup to Emmy, while others brought their printed mockups to class for group critiques. Wednesday 9/14:  This day we started our new project Monday Prototyping, which has it's own blog post. For Gestalt, I wanted to make this note to place the feedback I got on my mockup. Tyler Make body text lowercase. Words in capital letters have the same shape (a rectangle) so, they’re harder to distinguish Rethink horizontal lines, everything is already distinguishable in their own space Rethink border around both left and right side How to make everything more related First few pages have block behind text, but not the rest Emmy Too s...

Modes of Persuasion

Notes on Video 350 BCE Aristotle organized his Modes of Persuasion into three different categories that would help made things more appealing to audiences: “Of the modes of persuasion furnished by the spoken work there are three kinds  : Ethos - Persuasion is achieved by the speaker’s personal character when the speech is so spoken as to make us think him credible Pathos - Secondly, persuasion may come through the hearers, when he speech stirs their emotions Logos - Persuasion is effected through the speech itself when we have proved a truth or an apparent truth by means of the persuasive arguments suitable to the case in question.” Ethos: An Ethical Appeal Greek for “ character” - Persuading based of the character of the author Does the author have credibility?

Rhetoric

PART ONE: research I first started out with this project with research and figuring out what rhetoric is. Definitions: the art of effective or persuasive speaking or writing, especially the use of figures of speech and other compositional techniques. language designed to have a persuasive or impressive effect on its audience, but often regarded as lacking in sincerity or meaningful content. The ends justify the means Nice Quotes: “Every manufactured item send out signals to the mind or emotions. These signals - strong or weak, wanted or unwanted, clear or hidden, create feelings.” - Dieter Rams “For Rhetoric, language is never simply a form of expression: it is a functional tool that is manipulated to achieve desired ends.” - Ellen Lupton “Misunderstanding associates rhetoric with the bombastic and hollow, with fraud and seduction, with deceit and sheer ornamentation. The long history of this art, in contrast to popular assumptions, tells us that rhetoric has been concerne...
