(B4) WATER BUBBLES

-

  • I thought I could combat the issue by using the same effect on shapes to look like bubbles of water that I tried putting the type into. 
  • However, for each different quote on the back of the book, I would need to do a bubble and to fit it all on the type would need to be very small and would lose legibility. 
  • Instead of the bubbles, I thought I could make it look like gaps in the water where the type could sit and not lose its legibility.
  • It was more difficult to make this look like realistic water because of applying the different lighting effects to cause the three- dimensional appearance. 
  • The first type that I had applied this effect too was Helvetica bold, I tried using a serif font and doing the effect to that to see if it worked better. I still do not think the overall design looks very considered and lacks the finesse that the post-winners designs had. 
  • I may revisit the Buckminster Fuller inspired nets and see what I can do with those ideas instead.

However, to identify these buildings architects use five key architectural features: Large stained glass windows This is why gothic architecture is usually associated with places of worship as this feature is prevalent in Gothic cathedrals.

Pointed arches Another identifiable feature is the pointed arches. These are found in most places of worship i.e churches and cathedrals. It is suggested that the pointed style of these arches was taken from Islamic architecture rather than the typical Romanesque buildings found typically in Europe. The idea behind the shape of these wind...

In order to understand the texts related to Gothic architecture, I really need to understand the terminology as I aforementioned when looking at the previous text. I will be listing definitions along the way to better understand. Also, if my designs will have an informational aspect, it would be better to use this terminology or synonyms at least for whatever target audience I choose.  (All within the context of Gothic Architecture) Pointed Arches  Large pointed arches typically found on the Gothic buildings, also seen in many places of worship Large Stained Glass Windows Hugely associated with churches and cathedrals but, also a key feature in Gothic buildings  Ribbed Vaulting  There are a few different types of vaulting, ribbed vaulting is the one most commonly associated with Gothic architecture. It is an integral structural element to support these large buildings.  Flying Buttresses A similar feature is flying buttresses. They also act as an extra support f...
