Gestalt: A piece of my mind

In the study of Gestalt it is show that the brain is able to bring pictures and forms together from small and disconnect pieces. It is the space between the lines that makes the mind have to figure out what should be there to complete the pattern. Good examples of this are dot to dot drawings that younger kids are so happy to do.

Not only does Gestalt use objects but it also uses the space between the objects to make other objects have form and volume. Personally, I really did find the ideas behind Gestalt amazing and hopefully I'll be able to use some of what it talks about in my latest logo assignment.

New Logo Project!!



Recently we were in asked in class to create a logo out of found materials. For example, chalk, metal scrapes, wire , basically anything you can think of to make you're logo. I so far have two logos. The first is a a tape outline of my logo and the second is a marker drawing. More to come very soon!!
