Exhibit 2
Design: I designed this as a little pick me up and reminder to smile!
Contrast: I used contrast in the fonts and the simple contrast of dark grey and yellow. There are also contrasting sizes in the smiley faces.
Repetition: The obvious place I used repetition is in the smiley faces. I varied the sizes but the repetition is still there.
Alignment: I made all the text left aligned. I always lean toward left alignment because you read right to left and it guides the eye to the image.
Proximity: I used the smiley faces to fill in any weird white space.
Typography: Smile: California. Other text: Gibster. I downloaded these fonts from dafont.com. I love the way they contrast and how they work together to add a simple but coordinating look.

Kerned the "S" and "M" closer together
Aligned the main body of the "S" in "Smile" with the words below it
Made the smiley faces darker to add more contrast to the image
