process

My process for the first set of posters ive ever done for typography.

I think i improved i guess. and i tried hard to not make things look so..arbitrary? is that the word?

so yeah. i hope it looks better.
and possibily this is the poster that ill be turning in at the end of the semester.

Inspiration

While i was on the trip to new york, i went to the museum of art and design.
they had one of my favorite exhibits that ive ever seen. the "slash: Paper under the knife" exhibit was SICK SICK SICK.
first off, the first thing we saw as we entered the room was a giant paper upside down paper sculpture of a ship. it was ridiculous...
and it didnt hurt that we got in for free.
i was in awe when i entered the exhibit. i cant believe everything was made of paper.
it was extremely tedious work. and made and held together by objects you can find in your dad's office. Like computer paper, and paperclips. a very inexpensive project. but wow. crazy jawn.

So the process for this radial poster that i have been working on for 2 weeks seems to have came a long way.

first i was looking at doing something like the tan one with a nuclear sign in the center. then i thought it was too simple, so i decided to use a ton of them lightly for the background and add some illustration. hence the second picture.

but ashley mentioned how i overlooked an opportunity for a great idea. so changed it and ended up with the final.

Although i dont really care for horizontal posters that much, i do think this change was the best idea for this poster.

im sure it could use a lot of other changes that i cant currently think of at the time.

but this is what i have for now.

surprised to say that i have connected with a couple of the paintings that i learned while studying for my art history midterm.
The two paintings that i am in LOVE with is:

Nocturne in black and gold: the falling rocket. by whistler

im in love with the organic way this artist portrayed fireworks and people. His brushstrokes are so fast but they seem to blend with each other rather well, to create an almost abstract piece of work.
i am a huge fan of the colors.

Also, another piece. Summer, by dewing
This piece to me is SO gorgeous! i love the colors! and the blending of them. From what i understand, they are colors that are next to each other (no blending at all) but as you step back, it creates an effect.

Although ill probably fail my art history exam, at least i got something out of it..

process #3

Starting my dilational poster. I havent added the text yet but for the most part its half way done. I used a circle as the theme of the whole poster.
Also, to go with that whole dilational theme..."ben folds" follows the line of the circle.
I'm actually really nervous to get to the text part. since...ashley seemed to kinda..rip peoples apart. we'll see how it goes.
i hope people get the piano part on the side of the circle.

INSPIRATION:

I thought this image was pretty awesome. This is an aerial view of someones work. and guess what this is made out of....PENNIES!
thought that was cool. i wonder how this person gridded this out since its so long and big AND PERFECT. You can compare it with the person riding a bike beside it (i think its a bike)
This inspires me because it made me realize that i can make a piece of art out of ANYTHING. If this huge,famous art piece was made out of pennies, then there are endless possibilities of making an amazing piece of work using anything.
