DESERT FUR// LAYOUT DESIGN


This layout is very sophisticated. He looks as if he's wearing a mink coat in the desert. Nice contrast/scale. This is more of a boutique style layout because of the cropped image followed by the list of retailers in well placed text at the bottom. Similar to fragrance ads. This brings high fashion to a Hip Hop ad.

This is a hard ad not to like. It's so simple, yet its message is crystal-clear. Personally, if I ever saw my cat doing this I wouldn't even get mad at him for messing on the carpet! Burying the slogan so far down on the page is an interesting choice; the designer(s) must've known the image was more than powerful enough to carry the meaning if the reader overlooked the copy. At a glance, all I see is a cat and a box of Fresh Step. Well done!

Form & Space/ 3D class


This is a new software for 3D designs.
In this image is interesting to see how 3D designers think and work. As you can see the grids help a lot when developing shapes and shadows. The squares became smaller when placed on a part of the face where there is a fold and they became larger on the larger part of the face like the fore head. The cool think about this software is that even though it is a flat image, you can see all the angles of what it is been designed, you can also play with light, and negative spaces.

PASS THE CO. // LAYOUT DESIGN


I like how the colors in this AD not only compliment each other, they also represent the holidays. I also like the way the liquor logo is incorporated into the design as well as the color fade within the text.

This is a sculpture enterly out of glowers. I’ve always thought that sculptures out of flowers were really interesting. Every year I like to watch the rose parade to see what kind of things people can create. Even though this isn’t a float its just as cool.

halloween sand sculpture




Even though it’s late for Halloween, I found this picture and thought it was really cool looking. It’s made interlay of sand. I know for a fact that I could never do something this elaborate. The detail is amazing, the face coming out of the gate is really crazy looking.

Form & Space Week 8


This sculpture is something that we as art students are used to seeing from figure drawing class; however, this is a giant skeleton which is why it caught my attention. The sculptor is Gino De Dominicis and the skeleton is currently being displayed in Milan. Imagine seeing this in the town square if it’s a subject you’re not used to?

Form & Space Week 7


OK! Interesting perspective! A full size man looking at a smaller version of himself in a birdcage; this makes one wonder about the artist and his concept behind the piece and if it is kind of a self portrait or self-expressive piece. Or maybe the goal was to make the viewer picture themselves in this way as if telling them to take a look at themselves..? I think it is well done and interesting to look at. It makes the viewer stop and think.
