Zodiac Winds

illustration of A picture is worth a thousand words, which was originally a reference to advertising illustration. Artwork speaks with a visual language that can be different for each viewer. This composition has an underlying newspaper theme, and while headlines can be compelling, art overpowers words.
Next illustration of The Elements (line, shape, size, space, texture, value, and color) are WHAT graphic designers use and the Principles (balance, rhythm, emphasis, and unity & variety) are HOW they use them. Included here are some Gestalt principles, like proximity, closure, symmetry, similarity, and figure & ground. Some words give a little hint as to their function or purpose. A few typesetting terms and a Grotesk alphabet sample round out the grungy, industrial theme. Companion to Type Lexicon.
