Magazine/book Design

Line: This design is full of dots in motion. Multiple points are being dragged across the page in every direction with mulitple line weights, color, and many layers of transparencies. Each line in this design has a purpose moving strategically across the page in every direction. Most lines continue to run right off the page while another is coming in bring the eye back across in the opposite direction. Writing notions are seen in the lines, there are many hidden shapes lost in the layers and direction of each line; arrows, targets, tire tracks. The symbols are not only pulling eyes off the page but they are also telling it through written language.

Shape: These lines form symbols and shapes as they are continually overlapped across the page. There are lots of rectanges formed by the moving lines and revolving spheres. The sheres are multiple layers in many cases, bullet targets possibly moving around and around in one place on the page. A circle is endless, the blue and white circle next to the large font is the most dynamic. It gives the reader a little stability in the middle of a chaos. A little white space, a little breating room. This keeps the shapes grounded on the page while there is chaos flying by in every other direcion.

Direction: There is lots of direction in this piece. The whole design is based on this. Horizontal an vertical lines as well as curving lines. Though there is chaos and overlapping directional qualities there seems to be balance moving in horizonal and vertial planes. There is eqaul vertical for horizontal directional qualites. There is balance between the north and south moving planes as well.

Color: There are many colors in this design but there is a neon color palette. There is not much saturation and lots of transparencies. The colors chosen are exciting and engaging with the user. Though they are surprisily not over barring regardless of there being next to zero white space. Overall it is an interesting choice of color that create darker hues of the colors through the overlapping transpariencies creating lots of purples.
