Week 5 Form & Space, Getting ahead:)

This one is just hilarious plain strange! I’m not sure if there is a particular purpose for it, but it is definitely an attention getter! I think it’s supposed to be an alligator? So, instead of the normal human or even bear on a unicycle, we get an out-of-proportion alligator, juggling balls while wearing red and white striped stockings and a smile. Not really my kind of style, but it caught my fancy, so the artist is effective in that department.

Week 4 Form & Space

I thought this particular sand sculpture was interesting because it seems to have a subtle message behind it. I like that all of the hands are together, kind of like when a group of people huddle up or to agree on something. I think of something for the greater good when I look at the sand sculpture, it’s different but still simple. Again, I wouldn’t have the patience to work on something that is as vulnerable to most things as what sand is, so I probably wouldn’t attempt any artwork with the medium!

Week 3 From & Space.. Getting Caught Up!

This 3d object looks like something that would be used for a movie prop. I thought it was interesting because of the resemblance of an amphibian or insect/ machine which everyone can relate to from the project in Rapid Visualization class! Perhaps a large komodo dragon or other large lizard… the back end of it also looks kind of like the tail on a dragonfly. I would probably like it more if it was more aerodynamic. I do however admire the funky legs it has; they remind me of what could be some really limber walking canes with the four peg feet! I was trying to think of something good to call it, but couldn't come up with anything, so I'll just call it the cool ship thing! :)

week 3 FORM&SPACE

This is another example of the neatest and well elaborated design ornaments ever made. This is a sculpture that represents the dolphin life. In spite of being just an ornament, the point is that it was made to be interesting enough so its whole design and aesthetics could be appreciated by everyone. Its structure makes us to believe that it was probably a little difficult and complicated to make, but its finished design is definitely well crafted. It has diversity in form and space since it can be seen at different angles and perspectives but it keeps the same proportion. Nevertheless, the dolphins seem to be different at different views, but that can be due to its design itself and the way it was thought to be executed. Finally, the entire sculpture has unity in the sense of the whole conjunct of the dolphins and what is supposed to be the water wave that accompanies them; giving the idea of a very neatly elaborated ornamental piece of art.

Totally cool… ☺
Daily objects redesigned to make not only usable but also beautiful, a piece of decorative object. I really like geometric shapes but in this case the organic shapes are very effective. The round format guides your eyes trough the whole piece.
The different shapes on those objects also play with light making very bright on one side and very dark on the other sides. The use of negative space is great also.
The shapes, the texture, the whole design itself are very modern and contemporary looking. It is also very clean and simple.
For this format of design with different shapes all around white is the best color for it, more than one color would be too busy and all black I don’t think one would be able to see the shapes and shadows as much as white.
I don’t think those shapes would be easy to clean but it is worth it since they are very attractive.

JEAN L LAYOUT DESIGN WEEK 3 POST

I like the color scheme/color blend in this ad layout. Everything flows. I'ts clean, vibrant, and fresh. Goes well with the mint theme. I like how Venus Williams' dress becomes a mint leaf, that's creative.

Obey

I am a big fan all around on "Obey". I love the message as well as the layout of this piece. It is eye catching. The boarder around the layout is very different than most advertisements that you see, most have no boarders at all. The way that he writes "these" is especially interesting. One can definitely note, in my opinion, the cynicism towards "America" and the world around us.

Cool Beverage!

The cool coloring of this layout makes you want to join the party! If color contrast is in the mix you have it here. Using limes and mint was a clever idea for the designer to attract the public taste buds...lol!

This is a berinbal, a Brazilian musical instrument. This weird thing is about 6 feet long made of sugar cane bamboo, a coconut with a whole in the middle, and a thick wire going from one end of the bamboo to the other. It also makes a weird sound that is played during the capoeira “dance/fight”.
I think the shape of this object is very interesting, especially because it is musical instrument. The fact that the whole object is made of natural things that came out straight from the nature attracts me a lot and it also represents Brazil and its natural resources.
The picture on the right shows the guys doing the capoeira and playing a smaller version of the berinbal.

5th and final find of design...me!

5. I feel this image really brings out a side of me that is rarely seen amongst my "boys." I show a since of composure and clarity with the help of the black and white effect. This design element gives me a feel of style and class.

Three and four of Five finds.. including me!

3. An interesting picture I found online of an architecture. I like the way the thin steel beams in between are the only support that is keeping it from collapsing. I looks to possibly be a great sketch to make also.


4. A shot of the top of the University of Tampa's registration building with an added filter to give it an antique look. I think The shot has great transition in it. From the style of the college versus that of its counterpart in the background which is more common.

Two of five finds... including me!

1. Image of an old library taken at an side-ward view with an exposure effect added to the image.

2. Picture taken of a area in my condominium community. It gives a very peaceful and serene feel of design with photography.

Don't mistake legibility for communication

I find this piece by David Carson very bold and innovative in the use of type. I love how much room there is to breathe with the copy in the bottom right portion of the piece. 

The message itself is also very attractive to me, being one of the golden rules that i believe all designers should live and die for.

Form and Space Week 3

This image is created out of forged steel, oxyacetylene cut and scrap boiler plate metal. Oxyacetylene cutting involves cutting thick pieces of steel at high speed with the use of an oxygen-cutting torch. Here is some more information about Oxyacetylene cutting (http://www.ironworking.com/burn.html). This sculpture is suppose to be a horse racing through modern times, and was created to represent the artist's career ride for reedom of expression.

I stumbled upon this website and was fascinated by what it had to offer. The front page reminded me of iRobot, and this company seems to be just as advanced as that movie! New Media gmbh provides solutions and services for different virtual environmets such as realtime, motion and hub. They assist in sales and marketing with 3D content. This image is a 3D digital version of a classic wood puzzle game whose object is to navigate a ball through the maze and avoid holes by tilting the surface. The way you navigate is by using your feel and it is considered a team effort. Very high tech.
