Visual echo is achieved through clear correlations between content, typographic elements, and color of a design. For this project I designed three different posters to show examples of visual echo. It was probably my favorite assignment so far this semester because I got to work with so many different elements and I really got to be myself during this project.
For repetition of content, I chose to design a bright and colorful layout of my all time favorite food, donuts. I didn't want all of the donuts to look the same, so I tweaked it a bit to add different colors while still making a pattern. Isn't it so cheerful? Seriously, this is my wallpaper on my phone now.
I didn't want color in my repetition of typographic elements poster, but I still wanted it to be wild. At first, I only had the word create in blackouts scattered about the poster, but something felt missing. It just looked like a giant mess until I added the larger CREATE in white right in the middle. I think it ties the whole poster together.
For my repetition of color poster, I decided to state the obvious, it was repeating color. When I did research on the subject, almost every example showed one color against a contrasting background color. And yes, that seemed to work for the artists who created those designs but it didn't work for me. So I chose as many colors as I could without making the poster look like a disaster. I think I actually might redo this poster, I want the color bubbles to bleed into each other like melting crayons to give the poster more of a wild feeling.
