Art Blog Post 5 l Research Models

 Research Models 

Max Huber, Borsalino, Traditional 

The focal point in his artwork would be the red circles, especially the bigger one inside the beige circle. The darker shade of the red circle against the beige circle make it stand out more. The leading lines in this image would be the line under the word "Borsalino" and the line down the image that all the circles make. The colors used in this image are the primary colors red, yellow and blue. The typography used in this image is used for the word borsalino and is calligraphy and is in italic. Borsalino means 'a mans wide brimmed felt hat' which is pictured in the bottom right of the image. 

Johnson Witehera, Half blood, Aotearoa 

The focal point in this image would be the text in the middle. It is centered and is behind a bright blue background which makes it stand out. The leading lines in this image would be the lines of the sand and the mountains. The colors used for this image are lots of greens, blue, red, white and different shades of black and gray. Elements like gradient are used in the sky. The typography used in this is 'Maoriland Adventure'. With the words ' Witehira 2016' and 'Press Timata' under it. All of these words are used in an 8-Bit font to make it look like a video game. The words 'Maoriland Addventure' are red with black at the bottom and the red of the words on the artwork are white. 

Dushan Milic, Hansel and Gretel, Contemporary 

The focal point in this artwork would either be the red text or the colors on the children's faces. They all contrast against the white background which makes them pop and stand out. The leading lines in this artwork would be the lines made by the small text under the text that says Hansel. The colors used in this image are red, yellow, blue, pink, white and gray.  Red is used in the text of the words Hansel and Gretel. It is also used for the paint splatter above the word Gretel which I am assuming it to represent blood. The typography used in this image is in a messy paintbrush typo of font. The artwork is about the 2007 movie Hansel and Gretel directed by Yim Pil-Sung. 

Art Blog Post 6 l Design Challenge

For this design challenge, I mostly focused on big bold lettering. In almost all of my ideas the text is in uppercase. I tried playing around with different types of shapes and text types. I liked the idea of adding squares into my text. For example the middle text in the first image. I also like how the text is stacked on top of itself. I also like the bubble lettering in the last image. I want my logo to be bold and stand out, I don't want it to have a simple or elegant feel.
