The following are my examples, the one on the top is my logo demonstrating 'symmetry' the one on the bottom is my example of 'asymmetry'

Proximity

In Photoshop we are learning about the 6 principles of Gestalt (Proximity, Similarity, Symmetry, Figure Ground, Common Fate and Closure)

'Proximity'
the Definition of proximity is; Grouping and arranging certain objects in a specific order so that they make sense.
We were then asked to create an image using 20 thumbnails from Google images to show how we would demonstrate 'Proximity'
I chose to do an image with two groups of animals, the following is my demonstration of 'Proximity'

Tracing Logos

In illustrator we were given some tutorials to complete. These ones were on how to re-produce a logo using geometrical shapes, gradients and the path finder.
The following is my final product of all the logos that we traced. The logos at the top of each section are the originals, the logos at the bottom are my final traced images.
