The name of this piece is called “Picasso’s Quote” it was designed by Peter Bielous with the intent of creating the significance and beauty of art within typography.
For this particular blog post I decided to go with a visual example that held a more chaotic yet organized sense of typography. Elements such as line, point and/or plane are such a large contribution to the overall aesthetic balance when producing any work of graphic design, in this case typography. The name of this particular piece is “Picasso’s Quote,” Peter Bielous designed it with the intent of representing the quote in itself. Peter Bielous wanted to guarantee that every individual letter was constructed with care and extreme attention to detail. Placing each word in a position that produced a sharp, clean, yet significant piece of artwork. Within the piece, the design and placement of the text “ART” serves as the primary focus due to the fact that is the largest text alone in the entire piece, serving as the point. The text within the center of the piece “From The Soul” serves as a source of point and line. The “The” at the center serves as a point because it draws your eyes towards the center, specifically because it has such a strong contrast being that it is the only white text in the piece that is fully surrounded/filled by a black circle. “From The Soul” also serves as a line because it divides the top of the piece from the bottom, creating a sense of organization and balance. Along with the various amount of lines throughout Peter Bielous’ piece that serve as guidelines, outlines, and separation, causing the viewers eyes to wander without getting and/or staying lost also producing a sense of balance in the piece for the viewer. Overall, I really enjoy this piece of typography because it serves as a prime example, showing graphic designers specifically beginners such as myself, that typography can be exciting and an eye full and still contain a sense of organization when the typographic elements are used correctly.
