2D-Design Class

I already have an account and a blog set up with this google blogger that I did for my multimedia communications class last summer, so I will just pick up from there. I checked out the options available for other templates to thinking I would mix it up a little, but I REALLY still like this design so I will stick with it.

While listening to President Obama's state of the union address I searched and searched for the type of design that blows me away when I stumble on one, usually silhouettes of two items overlapping that creates a third image, all the while making a statement. If and when I find one during the course of this class I will post it. It is apparently not an easy feat since I can't find one. However I did find this one which is pretty close to ideal for me. It has balance with the buildings, a strong focal point and movement with the blue that is in contrast to dark buildings. I like the use of light to create shadows. It invokes the emotions of hope and optimism to me. All this is done with simple and uncomplicated shapes.
