Splat Text

Revised Personal Quote

When I altered this quote, I increased the leading in it so that it would not be as cramped, and therefore would be easier to read.
I also changed the green to a cross between dark green and olive green. This combination of colors symbolizes ambition, greed, jealousy, and peace; it therefore symbolizes life in its every form.
I lightened the yellow a little as well because warm colors jump forward in a design, and the yellow had been hard to read.
I made the blue a bit bluer, therefore symbolizing stability a little more
The pink is also a little pinker, and it symbolizes love.

Evaluating Artwork

                                                                   Graceful Dancer

 The curves in the arms of the dancer make her appear graceful. By the blurring of the background, the dancer appears sharper, more in focus, making one feel her more. The softness of the dancer makes one feel calm.



                                                                   Business Woman

The vertical lines make her look alert. With her bangs very straight and diagonal, she appears stern. The gray tone makes one ready to work. The fuzziness of the outline makes one focus more of the interior details rather than the whole shape.



                                                    Texas View of the United States

The size of Texas in this map makes it seem really big. The long lines on the Texas compared to the other states give an added effect of being large. The elongated shape of the Texas makes it seem dorky, but at the same time it and the huge size, put Texas in charge, and the other states very low on the todum pole.



                                                                       Silhouette

The value of the picture makes the girl appear sad. The round features on her face give her a look of infinity, like she will be there forever.


                                                                        Red Rose

The lines of the petal on the rose create a spiral, which suggests infinity, making the rose seeming to go on forever. At the same time, the petals are multiple curved lines, which makes the rose graceful.
