Favortie Logo (Entree #23)

This was my favorite logo because I LOVE the simplicity, creative lettering, and the message it indirectly relays by taking out the "a" in backspace! What a creative logo- I think it accomplishes exactly what a logo should by using as little wording as possible to communicate a big message!

Lines that convey Emotion (Entree #22)

One of the most powerful feature of the use of lines is it's ability to suggest emotion! Below are three photographs that include lines and set a certain emotion in the way they are used!

This bench has all vertical lines, except for the iron supporting structure which is more curvy lines. The emotion I received from these lines is a neutral, calming emotion. The lines are very organized, giving a neutral, structured feel.

This photograph of railraod tracks gives a nervous, excited feeling. Perhaps it's the linear perspective that the photograph was taken that contributes to this nervous feeling, which is once again another line besides the vertical and horizontal lines we see in the tracks.The lines also convey the feeling of adventure and mystery as your eye is drawn to the unknown horizen.

The blue slides on this playground reflects a more creative, wavy line. This line conveys a more playful, happy feeling of childlike simplicity.

Types of Lines (Entree #21)

The two types of lines I chose to focus on are Implied Lines and Psychic Lines! 
I chose to pick two examples from Mercer to demonstrate these two types of line!
~An implied line is created by positioning a series of points so that the eye tends automatically to connect them..
In this picture of Mercer's lamps, you atomatically connect the two lamps to make a line.

~Psychic line is where there is no real line yet we feel a line.
In this picture of me and my friend Betsy, there is no line, but your eyes immediately create a line from my face to hers since we are looking at each other Ithis picture is at Mercer when we were gathered at a sorority event)!
