Complexity
Irregularity
Asymmetry
Exaggeration

These two design influences express my vision for complexity and irregular representation of text. There is spontaneity to these designs that make the reader look for the message. The first image uses sketches expressing child like qualities. Bright transparent letters overlying the sketched photo of David Bowi on his way to the moon continue the randomness of the theme. The small magnified segments create a sequence showing details and telling the viewer there is more to what the eye can see. This graphic design is an advertisment for an HBO sitcom. The playfulness accents and sequential elements interests the viewer in finding out more. I hope that my designs leave the viewer wanting to investigate deeper messages within my works.

The second design is a reflection of a complex grid structure. The paragraphs show a movement across the page. The red accents keep the reader centered. This type of typography keeps the reader interested. It is not the average mundane layout of text. There is more to read out of the layout with color accents and highlighted pull quotes. There seems to be a very important message to be read from this design. The amount of effort the designer used to catch the readers attention is significant. There is something really dynamic about the placement each feature. This is the type of influence I hope to have over a page.
