Sequential Figure & Ground
Figure-ground is the state in which we perceive elements as either the foreground or the background. For the sake of this project, it is also related to the relationship between the use of positive and negative space. Creating a unique composition while using the Gestalt principles with just the word “Typography” and the numbers 1-10 kept options limited while designing, but when considering how one could incorporate flow, rhythm, shape, and value, the opportunities grow. When working through my main goal, I was to make a seamless flow throughout the composition while still switching the letters and numbers from black and white, utilizing figure and ground, pushing the boundaries of the goals of the assignment.
Original
Revised
Resized and adjusted numbers 1, 6, and 9 for easier legibility, along with the letters p and y for the viewer to further understand the relationship between figure and ground
Flow
Practicing design with flow allows the eye to guide through the page easily
Rhythm
Rhythm can allow systems to form in designs and layouts
Shape
Inconsistent shapes can lead to poor readability for veiwers
Value
Good value helps with contrast between the relationship between figure and ground
