Magazine Layouts

Bourgeois
John Heartfield

This image caught my eye because the designer did a great job of conveying his message that he was trying to get across. The design is a piece against the media claiming that whoever reads the Bourgeois turns deaf and blind, so therefore the artist covered a mans entire head with the newspaper making him unable to see and hear.

California College of the Arts MFA show 2013
GOLD, San Francisco

I really enjoy this piece because you have to study it for a second to realize what it says. The lines that make up the words promoting the MFA show almost look like colorful streamers and I think its very fun. playful and clever.

Gunter Rambow and Michael van de Sand designed this piece promoting a novel and the portability that books have. This piece caught my eye because I love to read but also it is very unordinary. This piece is simple but it is somewhat odd how the designers incorporated a hand that seems to be coming out of the cover of the novel. I also like how there is a shadow below the book to represent it floating, almost like its following whoever it belongs to. 

BAG DESIGN

The emphasis in my final bag is the tree in the very front. I have a gradient on the front that leads your eyes to the branches that spread out across the bag. The emphasis is also darker than the background in order for it to stand out. The tree is also what mainly creates movement on the bag. The branches wrap around the bag and lead your eyes around the whole product. For the sides of the bag I used image trace and manipulated it until you couldn't tell that the image was once a rose. I duplicated it, changed the colors and opacity, and layered them on top of one another until the design was something I liked. My word relates to the word I was given because Organic in an artists terms is unpredictable shapes yet a design that is familiar. I used roses and trees to incorporate the familiar aspect of the definition and manipulated the shapes and colors so it was unpredictable.

Bauhaus School Questions

The Bauhaus school was originally located in Germany when it was founded by Walter Gropius in 1919. The school was later moved to Dessau and after fourteen years of running  the school was forced to shut down in 1933 due to pressure from the Nazi Party. The most interesting things about Bauhaus artwork is that they artists/students there are taught and able to take something boring and bland from everyday life and manipulate it into something beautiful.

My other word is metamorph...

Metamorphosis is the transformation process of something changing from a mature form to an adult form.

My word is organic!

According to some bloggers organic means to have art that is familiar and essential to life. This particular artist and blogger grew up constantly outside so she gathered inspiration from nature.

Organic art is when shapes are free flowing and unpredictable. Most organic arts resembles nature.

My completed book!

This design is the cover for my book. The title is hope because that's what I want people to see when they look at my designs. The emphasis in this piece is the girl that is literally walking on hope. The road at the bottom of the page moves you to the top where the stars are which lead your eyes to the girl.

The emphasis in this design is yet again, the NEDA symbol! This time the symbol has butterfly wings to represent beauty, hope, and love which are all words NEDA uses to encourage people in the recovery process.

The emphasis in this piece is the ring gradient to the right side. This design also has the NEDA symbol, like all of my others. The symbol is not the emphasis in this design but it still symbolizes hope. Hope is not always immediately seen.

The emphasis of this piece is the NEDA symbol in the top left hand corner. It has a glow effect on the symbol which makes it stand out against the dark background. The design relates to my theme because the emphasis is a bright design among the darkness of the page. It is the glimmer of hope in a dark situation.

The emphasis in this piece is the line art in the top left hand corner. There is a black circle around the line art in order to draw attention to the figure. It goes along with my theme of hope because the line art is the NEDA symbol, which is the National Eating Disorders Association. People with eating disorders need to have hope in order to recover.

These three designs by James Victore really caught my eye. I knew I would like Victore's artwork after I watched his video in the artist series. He said that he sits in his studio creating artwork until he makes himself laugh. Most of his designs are lighthearted and funny when you first look at them, but most of those designs also have a great meaning behind it. That, to me, is what makes Victore's work so interesting. It can make me laugh and think about what he is trying to interpret at the same time. His artwork can range from something as a serious problem, like the racism piece above, or to humorous sketches.
