Oz Poster-CARP

Contrast~ This poster uses contrast in a variety of ways. For the title, "The Wizard of Oz", i used contrast on the words Wizard and Oz. I used a different font, font size, color, and i also added a glow to make the words stand out more.

Alignment~ For the title i used a centered alignment, although for the information i had them align to opposing sides. I chose to do this because i feel it gives a more full and even affect.

Repetition~ I used the same font for the extra information, and with the groups i kept the same font size. I also used the repeated line theme, which i feel like also helps grouping.

Proximity~ For grouping i used similar font sizes. I also used lines and boxes to separate different ideas. 

Typefaces

            Through this project I have learned quite a lot about typefaces. For this project we were assigned to follow an instructional video and create this name plate, labeling parts of the typefaces. It was somewhat confusing because I wasn't sure if some of the things were applicable to different letters, or lowercase, or even depended on the font. For example, the diagonal stroke was shown on an uppercase A, and I used it on a lowercase z and I wasn't sure what the exact standards were. 

          

            If I had to do this project again I think I would spend more time picking out a font. I would also spend a little more time with colors and just the over all neatness of this project. One thing I found difficult was my name. I don't have ay letters that hang below the base line, so quite a few of the terms were not usable for my name. Overall I really enjoyed this project and am looking forward to going further in depth about typefaces!
