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

Type 3: Sculpture

I wanted to focus on the main "Form One" and "Form Two" part within the reading. I decided to take two spherical shapes and have one be smaller as the underdeveloped twin and fill it with black ink. Both spheres have smaller orbs inside them signifying lifeforms. In the underdeveloped one, the orbs are drowning in black ink. Around the pedestal that Form Two is sitting on, there is black wire coming out of the bottom and winding upward as if it is attacking / trying to infect Form One hanging above. Form One I decided to leave clear with bright orbs inside with a tiny red / pink flake that can be seen if you look closely. These are just some of the images I took that I wanted to add to the blog, I have a lot more but I didn't want this post to be super long.

Semiotics Learning Summary

I chose Factory Farming as my social issue for our lesson in semiotics. Our first assignment was to collect statistics and figure out our representations. This is on another blog post but I will place it again below: Social Issue: Factory Farms Iconic Representation: Animals, cages, bars, overcrowding Statistics:  1. A typical supermarket chicken today contains more than twice the fat, and about a third less protein than 40 years ago 2. Hog, chicken and cattle waste has polluted 35,000 miles of rivers in 22 states and contaminated groundwater in 17 states. 3. Egg-laying hens are sometimes starved for up to 14 days, exposed to changing light patterns and given no water in order to shock their bodies into molting. It’s common for 5% to 10% of hens to die during the forced molting process. 4. According to one study, 65 percent of all hogs tested had pneumonia-like lesions on their lungs. Researchers believe this is due to ammonia and other gases released f...

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...
