CinemaSlave
I love the graphics here, it reminds me of a Soviet cartoon that I grew up watching in Cuba, also, the combination of typefaces is really dynamic and clean.
DVD Packaging
In light of the project due this week, I decided to take a look at a modern art form: the DVD package. This is one of my favorites: the classic Transformers cartoon.
The outside of the package has the classic logo, which immediately grabs the target audience. I'm not sure what's going on w/ the logo there, but I guess it's a different take on a familiar object. Overall though, the foil print and logo use make a nice marriage of classic elements and modern design.
Inside it's straight to the classic goodness. We have action shots that look like they're straight out of the show, complete w/ the familiar coloring errors and stretch/squash common to US-drawn 80s cartoons. It's obvious by the care put into the rest of the packaging that this is deliberately unrefined. There's no mistaking what awaits on the DVDs w/ imagery like this adoring the interior packaging!
I like this setup overall because it freshens the look to grab consumers' attention, but makes no bones about what's inside once opened up - a much better approach than overselling the product inside.

Form and Space
What caught my attention about this piece is that I tried to do something with this shape in this Form and Space class. With a dolphin in mind I created a tale format made of fome. Maybe the artist Ynagi had the same inspiration of a dolphin or a whale. It is lithe the tale of the fish is hanging out of the water. This object itself I do not know what it is. It could be a table or a chair. The edges of this object are also very smooth like a whale skin would be. I like the way shapes play light and also the use of negative space in the middle.

Lay Out design, with a Interior touch
form & space.....
Okay the image cannot be posted because google is.... tempermental.
anywho, I shall explain in full detail of what the image is..
There is a base present in the object.. a pole/stick roughly about 5 inches long... the stick has a rubber substance around it. After 5 inches the stick meets up with a medal-ness... not sure what the medal is for.. but okay. (the medal is about... 1 inch long. and gold plated).
the end of the 1 inch medal thing (that surly has an undefined purpose) connects to a roung medal (gold platted) circle... with glass on the inside.. this glass is not ordinary glass...... it has a purpose.
to magnify.
this is a magnify-ing glass.
the form is simple, non complex, and slightly comfortable to hold.
what can apear to be empty space but is actually a piece of glass that magnifies is very attractive due to the fact that the picture through it always changes... its all a matter of where you point it.

Ski Jump by Zaha Hadid Architects
Bergisel Ski Jump 2002
Bergisel Mountain, Austria
"The Ski Jump is a concise piece of functional design, an instrument for high performance sport, shaped with mathematical precision. The challenge here was to integrate a new, initially alien element into a given formula: The cafŽ and Sundeck. The assemblage of elements was resolved in the manner of nature, developing a seamless hybrid, where parts are smoothly articulated and fused into an organic unity. The result is a rather unusual silhouette on Bergisel."
Zaha Hadid
The shape of it is just so beautiful... even if it didn't have a purpose, it would be a stunning sculpture.
