Process #2

The theme for the next two posters that are due on Wednesday, is using the "radial" technique. Basically following the track of circles and their angles. I had no idea what to do with this poster, until i saw this image online that i was inspired from.

I thought this form was interesting. You can obviously tell it was an incomplete cirlce, yet you know what it was. I thought i could play with this a little bit in my poster.

So i did some scketches thinking of ways that i may be able to incorporate this idea into my poster. Although the sketch is quite rough and blurry, i thought it would end up somewhat looking like this:

And...this time i changed my band to benfolds.
theyre quite talented.
awesome!

inspiration II

For some reason i found this image to be inspiring to me. Although technically it is just an image of a giant blue circle..but what i know from this image is that the circle is perceived differently in every angle. I love the way the circle has different perspectives through the multiple panels it is on.

I found this image on a website, and i am unable to find the artist of this piece which is unfortunate. But i believe the artist created a series based on this piece, and has created a variety of the same artwork in different colors. Also, they all differ from the perspective they all provide.

The reason why i thought this artwork was important to me was because i would love to make pieces that change depending on perspective. This piece to me is more like a 1+1=34656799827348

Process

Assignment: make 2 posters every week for the rest of the semester. 8 weeks.16 posters.

Out of all the bands i decided to make posters for...i decided to choose death cab for cutie. It was a hard choice between Oren Lavie and Death cab since they both have a nice organic style. but i decided that Death cab might be a better band to make 16 posters to since a) they have more songs and albums and b) their lyrics seem to inspire me just a little more than Lavie.
i started my first poster with just a photo i took of bokeh as the background.
I'm planning on hand drawing the font of the bands name, and possibly a little illustration on the side.
I'm having trouble with the sponsers. I do wish the white didnt show though.
we shall see how this works out...

Alright..
According to type two, i am now to write blogs about my inspirations. Which is fine since now i don't have any excuse to not write on my blog.
I find an inspiration of mine to be candy.
Those who know me are probably not surprised about my obsession with sweets, but little do they know that the look of them catch my attention as well. This is a photo that i took of ringpops. What i found interesting about these delectable candies were their transparent qualities. I had a project and my ideas included putting them to the light. I loved the colors that they illuminated. When a bunch of them were grouped together they looked so beautiful next to the light. The colors were brilliant and so rich.
I know it may sound weird, along with the other inspirations that i will post in the future, but ringpops are one of the many that inspire me.
