Modernism
This time, i take modernism as the topic for my design. The image you can see above is created to express the influence of feminism to our modern world and how it changed the position of women.
Talking about modernism, we should be able to remember some keywords like "straight lines, vertical/horizontal," etc. In order to fit the theme into this style smoothly, i had to do some researches. The lines are not only those black hairline strokes you can easily see, but the colors are positioned so that the modern feeling can be felt stronger.
On the other hand, motions are all over the design, and it's one important factor in modernism. It doesn't require too much concentration to notice those "movement". Obviously, we can see the "Feminism" move from left to right, and this movement link to another change in the image, which is, again, easy to notice. From this point on, imagination is required to see the chains in motion. The black line is pushed by the word "Feminism" and it crashes "women", which result into separating "men" from "women". I wanted to point out that thanks to the feminism, roles in society is changed, women is not dependent on men any longer, and through those changes, positions between men and women is different too.
The movement of "feminism" doesn't only limited to moving the line, it also moves the big color part, open up a big "WIFE" word, and kick those "house"s words away. The meaning is just as it is, no more housewives, and it the "feminism" has opened a new page of history.
Those motions can be confused to be seen at first, but it's not complicated. Furthermore, all of the components are laid carefully so that there will be enough white space and balance in the design.
