I chose to analyze this Criterion greeting card that I found through a link on the Resources section of the class blog. This image of a holiday card utilizes typography to create words hidden in a bunch of similar elements. There are 108 circles close together that I consider to be several different points evenly spaced, yet scrunched together to create a symmetrical rectangle. My eyes are drawn to the points with letters inside of them, and then I look across the image to the right because that is how I would naturally want to read a sentence. When I look at the picture more, sometimes my eyes are drawn to the darker colored points, specifically the green shapes. Looking at it through this perspective it takes away from the balance of the image because the green points are placed randomly with no order to them.

I found this image on Marian Bantjes website where she has a portfolio of her recent and best creations. I found this website through a typography link on the provided resources for this course.

There are lines that are created from the small gaps in-between the repetition of points, they go vertical and horizontally. Lines are also created on each side of the image because the points make a rectangle, therefore straight edges. Each element in this image is the same scale but different colors and designs for each point of the image. This gives the image static balance, but I find it disorienting because there are too many different designs and I have to concentrate on the points with letters inside them to make out what words they are creating. I personally would have preferred the artist use scale in a more dramatic way, possibly making some of the points different sizes.
