I chose this image by Alberto Seveso because the negative and positive spaced created by the words and geometric lines and color make it look very abstract. I could look at this image and still find new things to look at.

So this picture is crazy looking but the design of a human form and the details of the paint splatters are pretty intense. It's a different way to look at the human form and the beauty of art supplies.

For this Wednesday

Do you agree? Do you not agree? What do you think? Is this important as designers?

Alexander Gelman Swatch

According to designmachine.com designer Alexander Gelman designed and supervised the design of over a hundred Swatch watches in the 1997-98 production year. This particular design is visual disorienting which creates interest. The watch is functional but I believe the design could impead easily reading the time shown. The design is good, interesting and functional.

This poster, used for a campaign to combat the issue of animal shelters becoming too overcrowded, is an excellent way to grab a person's attention. By using a well known character you can look at it and know that there is something missing, which makes the viewer want to look closer and read what it is about. It is encouraging people to adopt pets because they will make their lives more complete, just as Scooby does to Shaggy.

I came upon this picture while doin some work. I think this is so different, the idea that smoke can become a source of art. The graphics are amazing to show of the silhouette of a woman. I think this is a great example of how much our world is surrounded by art but its not alwasy recognized through design.

i have become a follower at a magazine's website. the magazine is called computer arts and involves a great deal of graphic design. i was browsing through the galleries and came across this image. i love the way they have laid out the composition. Ink splatters have become something that i would like to involve more in my work. i like the simplicity of the image and the detail it involves.

The Tomahawk

This design from the Dodge Motor company came out a few years ago as a concept. It mates the ergonomics of a motorcycle with the four wheels stability and V-10 motor of a dodge Viper.  Engineering wise this design well thought out and highly functional. Aesthetically it leaves much to be desired and there just isn't a market for this over the top design.  Possibly in many years this design could absolutly wow people. 

this image represents a lot of what i am currently working on in illustrator. It would appear that they used a great deal of the pen tool. It's interesting to see the simplicity of the pen too can create something that is so visually interesting that it needs to be studied despite being in a greyscale.

music

since music is an audible element, i am always interested in visual representations of it. here are two that i found online that are both visually successful ways to represent art, music, and creativity.

This image is a depiction of city life. In it there are many many things going on. The entire piece keeps your eye constantly in motion. The artist has captured people going about their everyday lives, as well as some extraordinary occurrences. I feel like this is definitely the artists own depiction of the city. The whole piece definitely feels alive, and like anything can happen here.




I came across this image while searching for inspiration for my thumbnails. It think that it is a good representation of how different materials and forms of art can be combine to create one image. All together, this collage of sorts has created an effective piece of imagery that represents an interesting mix of life. It seems to feel like it is representing life in a city. There are areas that are modern and sleek combined with references to the classic works of past eras.

Here is another representation of a DJ in action. This one deals with the same approach of using very oganic lines and almost making the image looking like it was splattered with ink. The use of scale gives the image a sort of 3D sensation because the hand is bigger then the head.

I choose this image because of its modern style of graphic design. Its very organic and loose, the focal point of the image is in the middle which represents the DJ and his turn table. But, the person itself is not highly detailed its just the outline of the person while everything going on around the person is going crazy in rich detail.
