NEGATIVE SPACE
This project made me think I was terrible at graphic design. After throwing all of those silly symbols together, it’s hard to tell that there’s supposed to be a word in the middle, especially for someone other than me, who wouldn’t know it’s supposed to be there. Not only was my product as ugly as I am, but I don’t think I learned anything from creating it either. I still don’t even understand how space can be “negative” and remain incapable of using nonlinear images to create a linear edge like I was apparently supposed to. The only contrast is the use of different symbols, the only good repetition is that I used each symbol in several different places, the only alignment is where there happen to be flat edges of symbols creating flat edges of letters, and proximity is horribly off and there are gaps everywhere except where they should be. The graphics and text combined so ineffectively that you can hardly tell what the word in the middle is supposed to be. This project probably should have been easy and enjoyable. But I’m a disgrace, so it wasn’t.
