Illustrator Image

The image that i created was based on The Riverside Museum. The picture was taken on one of my many visits to the museum in which i attend frequently. I tend to go here when it’s a nice day then take a walk by the Riverside.

To create this image i used the pen tool which helped to cut shapes from the upper building and help to create the jaggered effect. I used black, red and grey as they stand out more amongst the white background.

The image that i created was based in Glasgow City Centre. This picture was taken overlooking the water at the clyde side one of my favourite places to visit in a relaxing and tranquil atmosphere.

To create this image i used the polygon lasso tool which created the white cutting shapes throughout the image. I used black, red and white which made this image stand out with it’s attractive background.

I like this image as the two colours pink and blue contrast well which helps it to stand out. The circles are a good shape to use within the pink background.

I also have chosen this one as a favourite from the collection of designs. This shows an escalator with large print which is used by many commutors.

PETER SAVILLE – Peter Saville (born 9 October 1955) is an English art director  and graphic designer. He came to fame for the many record sleeves he designed for Factory Records, of which he was a director

Peter Saville uses bold colours to emphasise his pieces of art. There is a mixture within there images of patterns, bright colours and flowers.

Savilles Colour Code  –Combining many of my concepts and design style ideas.:

This is one of my favourite images used as it shows many colours within a circle which helps us to use our imagination. It gives off an older feel maybe from the 60s which was a very colourful era.

Power, Corruption & Lies, New Order (Factory, 1983). “The title seemed Machiavellian. So I went to the National Gallery looking for a Renaissance portrait of a dark prince. In the end, it was too obvious and I gave up for the day and bought some postcards from the shop. I was with my girlfriend at the time, who saw me holding a postcard of the Fantin-Latour painting of flowers and said, ‘You are not thinking of that for the cover?’ It was a wonderful idea."

Another image I have chosen shows a bunch of flowers in quite a dull background. It helps the flowers stand out a little more but the image has more pale colours than bright.

This image shows bright colours which are pink, red, yellow and purple. The heading is in bold black print to empahsise the title. I like this image as it’s bright and when i look at it i see something quite childish and playful.

Neville Brody, coca cola design, a design advertising coca cola in where he has used the outline and shape of the coca cola bottle to make an almost optical illusion/psychedelic  pattern, i like this piece because it is eye catching and simple without losing what the advertisement is about and can clearly be recognised as the coca cola brand.

This is one of my favourite drinks so therefore is one of my favourite images. The colours white and red contrast well together and the swiveled shapes help your imagination run wild.

Motion Theater by Caroline Grohs, via Behance:

This image shows a woman which looks as if she has been help up by wires. This is a powerful picture which uses large white print. It’s very expressive and reminds me of someone in performance.

simple graphics/colour:

This has four different images within the one picture which is a good way of contrasting between certain looks. It’s a very retro vivbe which shows women with big hair and sunglasses. All colours used seem to be pastel colours which give off a summery feel.

EL LISSITZKY

EL LISSITZKY – Lazar Markovich Lissitzky, known as El Lissitzky, was a Russian artist, designer, photographer, typographer, polemicist and architect.

Lissitzky’s work was able speak to the prevailing political discourse of his native Russia, and then the nascent Soviet Union.

Lissitzky used color and basic shapes to make strong political statements. Lissitzky also challenged conventions concerning art, and his Proun series of two-dimensional Suprematist paintings sought to combine architecture and three-dimensional space with traditional, albeit abstract, two-dimensional imagery.

Lissitzky uses all sorts of dimensional shapes which somehow turn in to art which has been much loved throughout people’s minds and hearts. It mixes with a bold colour then with beige backgrounds.

This image shows a build up of different shapes in all sizes. All are dimensional with lines, curves and albeit abstracts.

'Beat the whites with the red wedge' by Russian Constructivist artist El Lissitzky. Love the passion this movement envokes:

This image shows more diagonal shapes with pointed corners with very dark colours such as red and black. It reminds me of something in space such as the white circle being the moon and the black being the dark sky.

This being one of my favourite images from Carson’s work as it shows my favourite colours in it being a sort of blue, aqua which connotates water. It shows text with each letter being spread throughout the picture as if it has been caught up in the wave.

David Carson. I really like the connections of letters in a very structured way. The black and white really makes it stand out, along with the little "white" lies and THE "BLACK" SWAN ISSUE. The tone drawing is really impeccable.

This picture shows a woman with dark eyeliner and white face. This is to connotate the black swan with the words written across her face. Dark text has also been used.

Basehdk-5 Thomas Ruff:

With this image disorentation is used, it looks as though someone has blurred the image to create an unexplanation. The background is pale pink and looks as if a man or women is crouched down in an empty room.
