reading

-the sections about balance and scale were probably the most important (at least concerning this class) because based on our critics it is these things that seem to play a big factor in whether or not our intended messages come across clearly. While they did not provide easy answers to these issues, i doubt there is a 'perfect' solution, it was helpful in for the section about scale especially to spell out exactly how the visual elements were working in the design called Save Our City.
-the section about the illusion of space was fairly good also because on a 2d surface, creating this illusion effectively will inevitably add an interesting component to a piece. the part about fractured space and the example of David Hockney's photo were particularly useful because it not only creates a comparatively dynamic illusion of space but it does so very well.
