Sorry about the late posting, but after crashing my computer 3 times when attempting to use my new scanner it was a bit difficult. Would everyone be able to meet in class? Sorry about the issues. I'll see if I can get a photograph of them on here.
Describe what it is: The first image is a poster design for Panic! At the Disco. Just a promotional piece.
Describe your concept behind the design: I apologize once again for the poor quality, but it's in the Glasgow school style. I have flowery, almost stain glass natural images flowing together and repeating to create an eye catching image. Then at the top and center simply the name of the band, I was considering adding information about either a concert or a CD at the bottom of the decorated image as to not take away from the flow of the design. As you can see I already have potential colors picked out.
Discuss the style of the design & typography, how it relates to history: The typography I drew is heavily drawn from the examples in our book. I added some inernal uniqueness baised off of where I thought a little more attention to detail should be. The style when I looked back on it was very geometric and yet had a lot of organic themes in it, very repetative. So I tried to incorportate all that in the repetition of the flower image. I think I might even go so far as to make the flower a lot more geometric, perfect circles or maybe triangles.

Describe what it is: The second image is a poster design for Panic! At the Disco. Just a promotional piece once again.
Describe your concept behind the design: This is in the Surealistic style, something crazy and yet flows together. Looking at some of Dali's work is where I got a lot of my insperation. We have so many images in this one design. A woman, with an orange for her eye, spegetti for her hair, with a crown and strawberry cloth on her head screams 'Panic!' in a block letter form. She's coming out from a fish's mouth who is dripping leaves onto the ground. Butterflies flutter out as she screams the word, dancing around a flower. Above the flower and intruding into the word bubble is a rather scary realistic image of an eye looking up inside of a picture frame as some fish float by, I gave the fish noses just to add to the unique style. This was probably the hardest image to create thus far! I'm more of a realist artist and so thinking so abstractly required a lot more attention than I thought it would. I'm still very unsure about this image.
Discuss the style of the design & typography, how it relates to history: When I searched for 'surealistic posters' on google I found this style of type to be very common. I think it contrasts greatly with the copus amout of abstract images within the drawing. The style of surealism I still feel not comfortable as an artist with. Any suggestion are welcome.

I like both of your sketches, wish I could see them a little better... But I understand your complications. I really like the flowiness of the first piece, I think that the flowers also add something to it. The second piece is really interesting. I didn't realize what was all going on in the sketch until I read what you wrote down about it. I would love to see both of them in color, especially the first one.
ReplyDeleteFor the first one. The Glasgow school of art. I can tell that you really enjoy the whole floral style which is nice. The second one with the surrealistic look i feel like it need to have more of an overall theme behind i just feel like you have a lot of random things happening that obviously makes it surreal but then again you have a lot of random things happening.
ReplyDeleteThe first piece I like all the different floral parts of it and it was nicely put together. I really like the second one, it's so random and awesome! From what I can see it looks pretty good, but you might want to add a few more things to it because there's a lot of open space.
