SWOT

http://all-you-need-to-know-about-lucas.blogspot.com/


FORMAL BALANCE

Balance - The images are well balanced with the text and they work together as one piece of artwork.

Rhythm - I like what he has done with the rubbish fonts.  He has taken the idea of the word rubbish and put the letters inside trash bags. The text and font also look good. I also like the cd cover, it shows what it represents which is a space theme and extra terrestrial, with a moon and nice glowing effetcs.  This person however does not have a line is a dot that went for a walk work.

Proportion - The cd cover is well viewed with good dimensions, and works well with what it displays and the meaning behind it.

Dominance: There is no line dot work for me to comment on. The cd cover wins in dominance over the rubbish fonts as I love the effects, and how this person has taken the E.T into a lot of consideration.

Unity - They both have relationship between the individual part because they differ by style, effects, and elements.


INFORMAL DESIGN

Closure: In my opinion, there is nothing missing in composition

Continuance -  The eye looks at the effects such as the glow and shadows before anything else as they stand out in the artwork and give it meaning

Similarity -  The cd cover has similarities in relation to the planets and are created in different sizes, colour, brightness and effect.

Proximity -  mainly looking at the cd cover, there are many items that have a relationship with each other, which make it work well and give it meaning.

Alignment -  All assignments are aligned very nicely without any error. This is also shown in the rubbish font where they are positioned repeatedly above and below

Question 2

Yes, I believe it is informal because it displays different types of design such as such as skill and technique

Question 3

The only thing I could comment on that might neet improvement is the rubbish fonts, I believe a bit more work could have been put into it in terms of different types of effects and style. 

Question 4 

Strengths:  This person definitely displayed his use of skill and technique in both assignments, especially in the cd cover which I especially like.  The use of colour, effect, positioning etc were put into work well.

Weaknesses:   I believe more use of effects could have been used in the rubbish fonts, it looks a little too plain.


Opportunity:  Didn't understand this question.


Threats:  I can't really see any threats with the cd cover, I think it was well done. As I said above, the rubbish fonts could be improved on as it looks a bit plain and could be a potential threat to other peoples work.
