Week 1 Out Of Class: Glyph Layouts Sketches

Once I figured out placement for the sketched images I printed them out and traced it onto tracing paper as seen in the above images. Then I transferred it onto the final paper.

In this first layout I used the principles of Symmetry and Asymmetry. I chose the color purple to use throughout all of my layout because in the write up I stated that it was her favorite color.

The layout above is using the principle of scale and contrast to show the glyph's personality during conversations, 

            "She does speak knowledgeably and can be very polite but if she is ever corrected, 

                 it will surely lead to a disagreement."

The smaller purple glyph represents the polite side, while the larger one is showing the darker , which is why it is black, in-your-face side.

Using the figureground principle of putting the shape within itself I tried to display that she is the "apple" of her father eye because she is an only child. The purple text is placed to lead the reader's eye towards the small purple 

This layout is suppose to representhow, she is "always knowing what was happening everywhere, with everyone, at all times". I displayed this through rhythm and pattern of the glyph rotating. The anomaly on each page could be the text since it is there instead of the final rotation of the glyph.

This angled layout represents her home life, with her parents away always working (the two smaller glyphs), it has left her to be independent. I decided to have a text box by itself to help represent the independent quality.  

This diagonal layout represents how she is a leader and blazes ahead in all directions. It can also talk to how she does not take direction well. The text framing it could represent followers or people she is refusing to take direction from.

This layout represents her need to be the center of attention in her home and social life. The purple text is suppose to mimic and compliment her position as the purple glyph on the left.

Using cropping and scale I wanted to capture her charismatic, in your face sort of personality. On the right I was trying to show her opposite side, her more calm, collected side through the justified text.
