Design Rational - Font Poem

I chose the saying “A woman who does not wear perfume, has no future.” by Coco Chanel, because I enjoy wearing perfume and much like other women it makes me feel more beautiful, giving me more confidence. When a woman displays confidence she tends to exceed expectations given by herself or others, allowing her to go further in life.
In the rough draft of the font poem, I started with the font “Lucida Handwriting”, and then followed with the font “Harrington”, every other line being either Lucida or Harrington. I chose these two fonts, because I felt Lucida gave the allure of a handwritten line, and Harrington gave the quote a more feminine appeal. The word “Future” was displayed in a font called “Eccentric Std.” which gave the word, unlike the others a more bold look, and signing the name Coco Chanel with the text “Giddyup Std.”
In the final draft, I stuck with mainly with the font “Harrington” to write most of the words, which I later molded into the shape of an old fashion perfume bottle. Then used the text “Playbill” for the word future, giving it a more bold and circular look, which is the attached to the perfume bottle by a cord. To give the look of the ball a person would have to squeeze to make the perfume come out. Then the name of the quoted in the handwriting “Lucida Handwriting” to give it the appeal as in the person who said it signed their name themselves. I chose the color purple for the details, because purple is often affiliated with royalty, which is often makes people think of beauty and wealth.

Design Rational - Contact Sheet

In my contact sheet I tried to pick photographs that would best display the six different categories nessary in this assignment. For the resolution I chose a photograph of a bowl of cereal because the difference in resolution was much better than other photographs I tried. My theme through the entire contact sheer was to try and use pictcures that displayed everyday things. Therefore creating a possiblity for different perspectives on them. The picture's resoltion was much clearer with each adjustment.
The format process in changing the color of the picture was rather easy until I needed to to the Duotone. The brightness of the yellow in the rose was much harder for me to decrease than anything else in the picture. I found this section, however, to be one of my favorite to do, because it was interesting to play with the colors of the picture because each color scheme seemed to give it a different kind of mood.
The orientation section was different to do because though what ended up being the entire potrait was the main focus of the square and landscape orientation, once the excess was eliminated, it created a much more "intense" picture. For my framing section, I felt my picture worked really well with the wide angle and even the almost close-up parts. But when put into the close-up section, I didn't feel it worked as well as what I had planned.
The content section was a pictcure of another everyday object. Seeing the difference in representational to the abstract was easily done, but was much harder to do with the almost abstract.
On the purpose section I chose the picture of the barren landscape because I felt that was the best to create a difference when going from a rough content (journalistic perspective) to an artistic perspective. I enjoyed this assignment. Though I found some sections to be much harder than others when trying to pick pictures for each purpose.
