1. Introduction
Photography aim in presenting and documenting something for present or future view. This can consist of image(s) or a combination of image(s) and text(s) to present a message or freeze time so that in the future we may remember what things looked like. For this reason, photography and design should be effective and be performed by following appropriate techniques such as reverse engineering. Wikipedia explains Reverse engineering as “a process or method through the application of which one attempts to understand through deductive reasoning how a device, process, system, or piece of software accomplishes a task with very little insight into exactly how it does so.” This technique helps design engineers to analyze an image in order to conclude its validity once all the design concepts are met.
I will be analyzing in order to identify the typeface and leading lines used in the design found on the tuffhut.com website.
2. Analysis
2.1.
Typeface:
The design uses the main typeface: Sans Serif. The font used doesn’t have serifs thus the texts are cleaner-looking and increased readability. The typeface selected for this post work perfectly especially for this web article. An extra typeface used is decorative (Fancy Fire Pit)
2.2. Typeface Contrast:
Different colors are
used to create contracts in this post. Grey, Brown, and dark grey. The catching
sentence “Corona Fire Bowl” is written on a grey background to create a clear
vision. Different text sizes are also used to lead end-users to focus on the
main message.
Corona Fire Bowl for
example is the bowl’s name to attract buyers or users. It has the greatest text
size and its color is different. The bowl’s motto itself has different sizes and
colors.
Plus distance the texts are centered align.
2.3.
Photography
This post has a very beautiful image. The type
of photography used here is leading the eyes technique to the desired point, in
this case, the sentence in red “Fancy Fire Pit”. This creates depth, symmetry, and a strong
visual impact.

Photos from my camera
My three photos taken
from three different locations matches some concepts in the design of the analyzed
photo. The first photo with a white background was taken in the bathtub, the
second on the floor, and the last on the balcony. Each photo still can be edited and be
used for efficient design.
Through this reverse engineer post, I have consolidated my understanding
of the use of different techniques such as typography, contrast, leading lines,
and taking pictures with precisions. This has been a great experience in
enforcing my designing skills.
