Sally's Graphic Design

" Words like ‘gloomy’, ‘drab’, and ‘glittering’ each bring to mind a general climate of colors, a palette of relationships. ” (p. 81)   "Color" is a word that always attract me. I love to study the part of color matching. In my mind, color matching makes the world beautiful and vivid. This is the most important part in our daily life. All the things we use have a variety of different colors or color combinations.    " The muted neutral hues allow the forms to gently commingle, while contrasting hues and values break the elements apart. " (81) For me, I like to combine the analogous colors. Like this picture.   You can see this picture have lots of pair of paper. Each pair of paper's color are similar. Using the orange one on the right as an example. There are yellow, orange, white, brown. And it makes that picture more integrated.   And in this picture we can see the main color is bean paste Red with some analogous color: white, pink, and few black.   ...

  "Asymmetrical designs are generally more active than symmetrical ones, and designers achieve balance by placing contrast elements in counterpoint to each other, yielding compositions that allow the eye to wander while achieving an overall stability." ( Lupton/Phillips)   This picture was taken by me this afternoon. I've already said that I love to take pictures for the beautiful sky~ And after I took this picture, I realize that this is kind of symmetrical designs. The trees on both sides of the road form a symmetrical picture. (It also can be seen as the last chapter content, "Point, Line, Plane"😆)    But seeing this one. It has no symmetrical items. Actually I like this one most. The two street lamps, one car, and the red light on that car make this picture more active. And this composition is really good! I like the asymmetrical pictures. I think asymmetrical things are complex and beautiful. Just like the book said, asymmetrical things are more active tha...

Here is my last name written by Chinese. I wrote three forms. There are print, handwriting, and three-dimensional. It seems like three-dimensional form looks beautiful. When you see this character from a distance, it looks like a standing word. Maybe this character looks not very clear. Here is a name that looks better. The left one is written by black pen and the right one is the print name. This name is one of my idols from a group, TFBOYS. You can see that these characters looks very clear. It just seems like some white three-dimensional characters. But actually it written by black pen and he just drew the shadow. From these words, we can know that the three-dimensional words can be written in lots of different ways. Just like this, we can only draw the shadow to make the picture stereoscopic.  PS: I think Chinese characters are pretty~😆 https://www.tumblr.com/blog/xiyue-zhang

  Hi! I'm Xiyue Zhang from China. You can call me Sally. I'm a sophomore who major in Film Studies and probably minor in music. I live in Anshan, north of China, and here becomes cooler now. The climate is similar as Appleton. I really like delicious food and one of my interests is food. I must to say that Chinese food are very delicious (maybe just for me myself😆). My favorite is Sichuan Food. The special point is spicy. Yes, it's really really really really spicy. As a northern people, I cannot eat very spicy food, but Sichuan food taste amazing that I cannot help but eat.  My world of art is not very clear. Sometimes, when I read a beautiful poem, I think that art should be like this. Sometimes, I like classical music, and I think it is so elegant. For example, in China, there is a famous female Cellist, named Nana. Every time I saw her performance, I wanted to learn cello. But in music, I think I've already find my favorite. I believe that I can find my world of ar...
