Inspirational Poster

Being an art student is fun.  Anyone think of any other words or quotes that could go with this??

Griddy

 I wanted to work in the name of my favorite album, Strawberry Jam, so I'm trying to act as if it's the concert debuting this album. I don't know what else to include because at this point, if you don't know the band and the album, this poster doesn't convey how Animal Collective sounds. Any ideas?

Better?

March Twenty-Sixth, Two-Thousand Ten

??what do I like today??

-LOVE the shirt. Crisp white and big black buttons. Plus a thick gold chain within the collar. Not to mention the blazer and pocket cloth. Love love love.

3D vs. 2D

Battle it out.

I love this photograph on the left.  The colors and her lipgloss and the frame. So cool.

I just love Grizzly Bear every day.

WHAT.

like what? amazing.

Inspiration: Typography.

  Not only is it an awesome way to use letters and muted colors....but it's a stamp! In reality it's soap. I was googling "soap molds," "shaving soap," and "molding soap" for a drop cap....but came across this!  I think it's adorable and would be obsessed if this was in my bathroom.  In addition to making me clean, it would be awesome to use this as a stamp.  The rounded edges could allow you to roll the bar over and over to make stripes and change direction midway. Awesome.

Random Composition #1

Is it random enough??

could I be starting a collection?

     After getting my Lomography Actionsampler I've been getting back into film photography.  It's pretty exciting to get the phone call from Camera's Etc. saying that my prints are ready.  (I almost got kicked out yesterday when I stood there for ten minutes while I looked through the roll and took up too much space at their counter.)  I've been thinking about the other types of cameras out there that have this "pictorialist" sense, where the photograph is more of an art in itself, than just any photograph.
     This camera is similar to the one I have but instead of having 4 frames it has 3.  I think this would be really interesting to use to sports or architecture because of the way information is distributed on the print.  I feel like the viewer looks at the two smaller images and can wonder what is happening on the rest of the field, or behind that building, where this camera then reveals more information in that third frame.

   

Progress: Please FEEDbaack!

 This is progress on my radial poster after it got chewed alive for (not) being a Christian band.  It's electronic dance music, i just don't know why the cross is their trademark.  ...but Do either of these titles work?

    

 Does it feel like Christian rock? or rock n' rave, nyc concert? 

InSPIRa-tion: Wearable Drop Cap

at the end of winter session one of my roommates came in after a very long day, screaming,

"BEST FRIENDS FORVER!"

as she walked up the stairwell.

Now, on a good day, someone is bound to say it.

OR?

Process: Dilational Poster

Any suggestions??

Thanks!

March 5th, 2010 - Inspiration

I want to make my poster for a group called Sigur Ros, who I've had an on-going love for throughout high school, until now.  One of  their albums is named ( ) and is made up of eight untitled tracks.  The first half has a lighter sound to contrast the last four songs that embody a more melancholy mood. The words are made of random, meaningless syllables, as to bring more focus to the music as a whole rather than the meaning of the content as words.

I want to work with the parenthesis somehow in my dilational poster....we'll see.

Flash Forward

Last weekend I went to Micheal's and for 1$ I bought coasters for my apartment.

"I child-proofed my house but they still get in."

(the image is backwards because Photo Booth is really great)

And then I found this! online just now....

CRAZY....it's the original, the real-live advertisement used to make fun of ourselves today! New definition of "going green" = using old advertisements, for new products; Reuse, Reduce, Recycle.

Final: Radial Composition Posters

....this is where it all started....

First Concert, Terminal 5, Front Row.

...to here!

OH WOW.

I found these two pieces and died a little inside.

Numero 1:

The coolest, most unbelievable pen in the world. Basically, the sprout inside the pen grows and wilts according to the amount of ink left in the pen.  Definition: Green.

Sprout Pen

Numero 2:

   I also found this photograph which is something I have never seen before.  The exposure is so low that you can barely make out the image at all.  With barely any contrast the image is practically two-tone.  Yet when you recognize the texture of the tree and the rest of the image comes out....it is such an awesome photograph.
