What I Learned: Although I tried to maintain a cohesive look for each piece in the project, I felt at time the designs I chose were a bit random. However, i felt the majority of them went well with the picture i used. A linear photograph, i found, was very difficult to work with to come up with variations for each color model. Having to come up with different variations within each color model was challenging but it helped me to understand the color model process.

Design Approach: I tried to maintain the basic structure of the photo throughout while adding in new elements like cropping and tinting the colors. I wanted to allow the simplicity of the picture to dictate the placement on the page as well as the cropping of it. It took more than a few tries to achieve a balance on the page. I also used to certain typefaces that were somewhat decorative, but not so much so that it overshadowed the image. I used words that mostly related to the events of 9/11 such as, Remember and Revive.

Typefaces: Bauhaus Std, Braggadocio, Apple Chancery…
