Reflection. Assignment 1.2.
My fist impression is that the author(s) of this book is have a strong knowledge in how develop a work to communicate the message. Probably the tools could be incipient, but how they apply the principles, surprised me.
I can see that the author of this magnificent book make use of the patterns in a good way making the pages more attractive. They have frames with a certain pattern, showing repetition. Even when I am not able to understand the text, I can how the contrast is manipulated in the colors red and black.
In the first picture where the man is receiving the message from the Lord, the image is aligned in the center and the text on top is centered to, making the image vertically balanced. Also, this image has repetition in colors blue, orange, red and yellow.
Most of the text shows repetition in the layout of two columns of text.
In general the pictures with characters have repetition in the patterns that shows a background and
The author shows that manipulate the alignment, because the text is balanced and when it has elements, they are at both sides. The images also have elements that are mainly centered (alignment).
The text has repetition in black and red throughout the book.
The proximity of the text with some of the images, that sometimes appears on top, to the right, on bottom, to the left shows that this text is an explanation of the drawing or related to the characters. Sometimes these remarks inside the drawing, close to the characters. So, I think that it is related with the people that appear there.
The technique that the author(s) used was using drawings that helped to understand better the texts in order to transmit the message. Apparently it was ink over some kind of paper and the whole work is very valuable from the hardcover to the inside. The four elements were applied throughout the book.
