poster idea 5

For.my more free roam idea I really wanted to make my own.version of this poster (which had no notable artists attached but all I could comment on this was that it was a mixture of different paintings which I set to recreate myself.For this idea I used the below images (which were taken with my own.phone came a while out: 

These photo felt diffrent in colours and I'm schemes which helped to bring the idea to life.Some images had been.highly editor's using Photoshop while others had minimum changes (except the usual like colour levels and brightness) 

I wanted to put a drawing on the top layer to give it my own style(and so it wouldn't look like a cop out of te orginal image.here is.the image I made via Adobe illustrator: 

Original sketch drawn by hand. Before adding detail: 

I had drawn this out before hand in different ways that can.be seen.bellow:

For a final note here is a close up of the England flag that was put onto all my work and the tag lime that related to the Art and design industry: 

I feel.like this idea expresses the many different media's that is used in the creativity (computer images camra images and hand drawn images).

FMP starting brief

FMP PLAN
My brief has since expanded from trying to make a simple plate that disgusted people to a more in
depth subject I.E parts of the human body that are seen as negative or are found to be something that is taboo in todays society.One of my main choices was parts of the female body(which included males but in a lesser degree as there has always been less to be thought of on a male figure as bad and that should be covered up).I also felt that my experience as a women would help me become more passionate in this subject area and would also make me more passionate in the whole fmp and would help me to get my views across.I am yet to find artists that i can use to influence my work but have found some who's images are great as examples.
For my research i have searched up breasts and clitorus images and pictures that could be viewed(though the irony was that there were next to none or those that could be viewed would be on adult matter sites).As i felt it would help i bought old vintage Playboy magazines that were originally from 1969 onwards.With this i hoped to see what the stance on nudity and adult art was back then.To my surprise it was all very clean(as in only breasts were shown and very little sex was on show).The magazines also showcased some very impressive art that i have yet to post about properly and review.
I have since drawn images from said playboy magazines and have to admit i have become quite fond of using them as a guide.
I also looked to get the opinions from my fellow art peers and to see what their thoughts were on both the subject i wished to cover and the magazines i brought in.Both got a positive review and helped me to feel relaxed with what i was doing.Though i fell if i went into another area(say music)and was to show them the same images i may get the very response which i hope my pottery will hopefully revoke.While i feel this may be a quite bold statement to make i feel as art students can be more open to such subjects as we were given opportunities to have nude drawing sessions.
Going back to my idea in its simplest form i have been making plates which i researched different textures for.Most artists i have looked up are listed on my blogger from before and show different and diverse tecniques (like how they would blast the pots or how they would let it rot or wither).I have spoke in length about different artists and where i could possibly get my pots fired.I have also sketched out the ideas on paper which i have yet to collect.For now though i am concentrating more on my design than the actual pot(but still this is to be considered).
I have drawn multiple sheets with designs i plan to use and have made sure to include great detail in all.These are all included in my sketches and i must admit i am very proud so far.For this lesson,i should note,i have also bought some significantly better pens.
To conclude i am throughly enjoying this unit but feel as i have only just got fully into it.Also i am happily ideas have evolved as it is something i have always felt passionately about(as i feel many do as well).My next step is to combine my drawings and pots to make a set of 3 final pieces.

poster 4 drawing idea

While looking for a idea for my hand drawn idea i stumbled across these circular ideas.With a mixture of thick and thin lines and a circular base i automatically loved the idea.I wanted to include really simple things in this first idea so got to work on creating some images.

i used these brushes as a example for my drawings:

A beginning for my final piece featuring a heat that i drew in a simple form.This then gave me the idea to add detail and shading.I felt it was best to experiment.

As you can read from my notes i plan to make the font on my work red.

My final idea minus the union jack in the corner and the actual fonts.

There is a page explaining my choice of fonts.

For my poster i researched into fonts(using Dafont)I came up with a few using my tag line:
"The heart of art is beating"
here are some of my ideas:

i like the bottom one more because i feel that it is bolder and brighter and stands out.I would have to do it in white as well as my background is black.I will be using this slide as a reference for creating my final font.

Since last writing my idea has evolved with the poster now supportingly tag line of text.

so far i am very Impressed with this idea and how it has turned out.Even the slight smuges on the paper add to the poster.

I have yet to put the appropriate British flag and said information in the bottom but that is my next task:

My idea for thundering was that the heart represented the art industry and the way it would grow the brushes are a obvious artistic touch that would be used in said industry.

This idea was made as more of a obvious idea.

Poster 3 work and inspiration (ideas that didn't work)

Idea taken from the back of a Playboy magazine a advertising a beer called Schmitz.I found this good because pf the slanted compass.Its catchy slogan also drew me to the idea as well.With my design i wanted to use these clever ideas so set out to make a similar idea.

(c) Jos. Schlitz brewing co. milawaukee and other great citizen.

Here is the start of my first idea using this method.I feel like i should make the font bigger and i will be taking a macro lens shoot as well of a real person.  Prehaphs i shall take a picture of someone holding a paint brush from that similar angle. 

I have now added a slight grainy effect to the page to make it look a little older and more worn.I feel it adds a little and doesn't make the page look as crisp.

A screen shoot of said image above.

For my font i went for the idea of using a font(from daft) called Loki cola.This highly and most obviously resembles coca cola and has a very old and swerve font which goes well with my idea(almost matching the font found on the poster).

Below is a quick screen shot of said font and a link to the font in intend to use:

focal points in art and design idea(continuing on poster 2)

Before starting the project we were given the advice to look up posters or ideas with key vocal (or focusing points) the below images were some I used to help me:

More of my attention was attracted to this one as I felt it was by far the simplest and eye catching idea.It also gave me inspiration for using shapes in my work (mainly the circular dea)

This idea was found as well but I thought it would be good to put this to work in future ideas.I really liked the whole change of textures and images throughout the picture and the simplistic arrows pointing to the earth.

Before starting my idea i wanted to make a figure that would not be identified as a male nor female.Thought this i created a simple human shape that i felt fit with my idea. None of these would attract attention other then the red one.Here is my final(and very simple)idea:

A simple idea using the concept of vocal point(which should really be in all my work)but this in particular extends on. By making all of the people white and then one red i feel it attracts the eye and catch i looker.

Here i did a more detailed picture with a lot more people included:

I feel as if this one is a lot more detailed and has more structure then the other one.

At the bottom you can see the flag and information about the art and design industry on my work that we researched into: 

poster 2 progress and final ideas.

I feel that this idea really speaks for its self in tearms of its meaning but I found.it to be quite amusing and incredibly relaxing to make.I feel the shapes I made are accurate to blinds and bring my message across quickly and effectively.This design was made quite quickly using Adobe illustrator.I feel that,for my computer generated image,this is good.

The Font used had to be quite small so it would not be to demonstrative and bold.I went few quite a few but found the thinner font went the best and would make the reader look into the blinds themselves (thus attracting more attention) below is a closer up of the font: 

Using two ideas of the pictures being blinding and the words being in blinds i thought this was a good idea brought up by a fellow student.I used a quick reference of a shape from google images(not that it was that hard to recreate blinds) but it looks good in the end.

With a fact about the art industry on the bottom blind and the union Jack (which was made black and white as not to crash with the rest of the design):

This idea really was more of a nod to the vocal point idea then art and design itself buy it could be noted that everything around is has been designed and molded by the artistically of the past and present.

Then the chosen background colour was added

 First finished idea using artist and video shown below:

For this first idea i used a background pattern that was found in art(this links into art through the textiles route).The flowers are also a favourite of the student who allowed me to take the picture.
The face was very simply overplayed with the texture and the needed hair was rubbed out to make the image a little smoother.This image had to steps to it but  i didn't know if going without the background would make it to simple.As you can see drips were added to give the image a pealed or paint effect.
Here is the final image with the union Jack and Art and design font on the bottom:

*Artist fly dye;she's bad taken from a music video
i could not find a direct link to the artist but found other images from the music video

this artist automatically struck me as good because i loved the simplicity.

i want to continue making other posters with this style.

I feel like it is obvious that this was my most worked on and favorite image without a doubt and would have loved to do a full series of these styles (but having to do one by hand became a little more challenging) 

Typographic designs (my work included)

Some existing pieces of typography:

Some of these examples include pictures of things made out of words relating to the objects.

The meaning:

Typography is the art and technique of arranging type to make written language readable and appealing. The arrangement of type involves selecting typefaces, point size, line length, line-spacing (leading), letter-spacing (tracking), and adjusting the space within letters pairs (kerning).

Below is my second poster that takes on these ideas using only words(this is done via Adobe illustrator);
