Week 10 - Creativity (4 April 2018 - HW11)

Cover design for LittleBigPlanet 3

~

The video game cover for LittleBigPlanet 3 was made creatively by introducing long-time fans with new playable characters and new tools to use. New-time fans will get some joy by learning of all these figures. By how expressive and colorful the design is, it's uncommon to find a design this joyful for its' time. Adding on that this game has a feature to allow the player to make their own custom levels and share them online, thus adding not just creativity to the cover but creativity to the entire game as a whole.

Week 09 - Color Harmony Rules (27 March 2018 - HW10)

Cover for Succesful Farming that uses Triad colors.

~

The magazine cover for Succesful Farming uses triad colors of yellows, blues and reds. Each colors helps with the design, such as how the yellow in Farming can indicate the energy of farming and the labor that comes with it. The blues help the yellow stand out making a better impact. While the red can be an emphasis for the magazine's main story.

Week 04 - Rhythm (14 February 2018 - HW5)

Illustration of sponges.

~

The illustration has rhythm across the artwork with the round cylinder shapes. The shapes are aligned diagonally and are given even space which results in a pattern on the top of the shapes. The pattern is consistent throughout the artwork as it forms a staircase pattern that represents rhythm.
