Book of Kells




This image reminds me of the Book of Kells with its overly decorative flourishes that the different strokes create. This design has the same fluid motion of the much older designs.

Luba Lukova graphic figures and the Apple person

Image
The political posters of Luba Lukova and the advertisement style of apple remind me of each in there use of a two color scheme, and extremely flat and graphic. They both use black for their figures which makes them even more graphic and flat. The thing that I think they both do extremely well is create a feeling or mood with very little detail. Lukova's work use the silhouettes to create a mood of distressed that is surrounding the political issues that she is trying to bring attention to. The apple ads create a very different feeling of fun and easygoing but is just as successful as Lukova's work in creating this mood with very little detail. Over all both these pieces create a large impact with little detail which makes them very interesting to look at.

cipe pineles magazine covers

Image
The first three magazine covers are covers made by Cipe Pineles when she was the art director of Glamour Magazine. The look is very similar to the current day vogue magazine covers. Both covers show a women who looks extremely glamorous  and stylish, making the viewer want to read it to look that women and do what she is doing. The design of the vogue covers is very clean compared to other magazines that are out there now. This clean design is very similar to Pinelea'a designs which give both the magazines an elegant and classic feeling.

henri toulouse lautrec and his layering style

Image
The first image is a poster by henri toulouse lautrec it uses a layering technique that is still seen today. The second image is a book cover and it reminded me of this layering technique. The images uses blocks of color to create depth and space the same way Lautrecs posters created depth and space in his posters. He was the first to really push the way space worked in a image by putting a figure in the very front of the fore ground the way the figure is in the book cover.  The third images is a logo for an open mic night in the   Boise community. It uses the same layering technique as Lautrec. It also reminds me of Lautrec's work in its rough style and use of warm colors the way Lautrec's posters tended to have a warmer color scheme.
