Parallelism


I Chose a lamp and a mushroom because I feel they share a strong connection through shape.

IAR-212

I think this advertisment is very plain and clear. It really has a simple design and visually tells you what its for. Due to the position of the picture (being in the center) automatically draws ones eyes and attention directly to it. Once the eye is drawn to the Picture it leads to the text which explains the picture.








This advertisment is very informative and really has a neat way of showing what products they have. They could have just showed pictures of the product and that was it but they chose to have them in the places you would your own home. This to me is very eye catching and has such a great composition.








I really enjoy this advertisment because the way they chose to show it was good. I like how they made it look like it was painted. This to me gives a better visual element. It really makes me feel like I could go anywhere in this thing. The colors used also gives this very cold feeling like your really up north in the mountains. This is my favorite.

IAR-202












This is my interpretation of a welcome mat for the country Jordan. The reason I chose to use the shape and materials I used was because they had a significant connection to the country. The shape in the middle was taken from Jordanian architecture. This also encourages the visitor to walk "through" it and opens up to visitor. The sand in the middle is representation of the landscape. Jordan is 75% desert. Coffee is a very important product in Jordan. It is a symbol of hospitality and it is common to be offered coffee or tea, or to be invited to have coffee with someone in his or her home. The coffee beans represent this symbol of hospitality. In my notes I have that I would be using straw but I decided to change that to moss. This is representation of the landscape as well because of the arid climate. I chose these things hoping it would help one to feel more at home and to make one feel like this was home.

IAR-212



My emotion was Mischievous. This was a hard emotion to display. I feel raccoons are very mischievous and so I showed one raccoon stealing money and the other with a ball and chain for his actions.
