The Rock gets real mad and turns into the hulk (more than he already is). I used blurring affects in the beginning, when the Rock is slowly coming into view. As he gets angrier, the contrast goes up, as well as the speed of the red flashes. The last few slides are of the Rock making a surprised face, as this is where panning is used. I think the best part of it is when the Rock is getting angrier, the red flashes become more frequent and the contrast goes up drastically.  :   )

My logos for the Jupiter Power plastics team. I incorporated a lightning bolt, the jupiter symbol/planet, and the company name. Bottom right is my favorite

This is the logo I made for Latin Honor Society. I take Latin and know that the class is pretty goofy, so I made the logo off form the serious side of things.

Mr. Woodstock 2013 Possible Ticket Designs

How did you use the elements of art (line, color, pattern, visual texture, shapes, values) to enhance or hide the folding?

There's really a three-dimensional shape when you move the project on each of its sides and look at it at all angles.    The similar sides are opposite one another, and when you look at them diagonally as they are intended to be, either the colors or the curves really show depth. The white dots around the lines are to show a 'worn out' kind of texture. I chose to space them because there really is a difference between the two, both lines and the shapes. Without the white, they do not blend well. There are opposing color patterns, as well as diagonally each side matches up. Red and blue are primary colors, and very bold. I chose a warmer blue and colder red to display a laid back feeling, and add to the depth at certain angles. The finished structure can be folded up three times, and leave one side out to really focus on that if the person who's viewing it wants to. 

What is your audience supposed to think of the design? What "clues" have you given them to make them think that?

They're just supposed to see the depth and pattern i've incorporated within it. I didn't include any 'clues' because there isn't any need for them. I supposed the opposing colors could be a clue, or the opposing patterns, but I didn't intend for clues. You're just supposed to see a pattern and turn it the way you think looks best. Everyone should have a separate preference.

1. How can I use COLOR and VALUE to create an emotional reaction in my audience?

Well my idea behind this design was to get a kind of hallucinating or "tripping" feeling for my audience. The vivid and bright colors in the background really help display this, as well as the glowing prism.

2. What selection SHAPES will best relate to, or react with the image I chose?

The rainbow within the prism definitely has the best reaction.

3. How can I have a FOCAL POINT in all this visual craziness?

The pyramid definitely is the focal point

1. What is the dominant element or principle used in the sample you collected? 

Definitely contrast, the reds and black really go well together and you can see the spectrum across the whole image.

2. What is the "deeper meaning" you realize after investigating that artist's work?

Shepard is clearly talking about how we're polluting the Earth, and you see it every day, hence the 'visual pollution'; yet no one does anything about it. Eventually, gas masks will be needed for daily life.

1. What is the dominant element or principle used in the sample you collected? 

Layers and texture are used the most in this sample, where you can see the layers of color in the prism, on the prism, behind the prism, etc. The background is really cool and has a lot of texture, as does the prism itself.

2. What is the "deeper meaning" you realize after investigating that artist's work?

The art in this is supposed to incorporate the idea of Charvoz, an art company from the 80s. Their variety of work is shown through the prism, where all the work goes in (colors) and comes out under one company (Charvoz).

1. What is the dominant element or principle used in the sample you collected? 

I'm gonna roll with texture for this image, as the same with the last. The hair, background, lettering, and image really show a 'feel' or display an idea of feeling. 

2. What is the "deeper meaning" you realize after investigating that artist's work?

Ray - Bans are a glasses company, and seeing the world through their frames, you need to 'never hide.'

rough draft brainstorm? just ideas

1. What is the mood of your image? Is it a result of: contrast, subject matter, depth of field or the figure to ground relationship?

In a sense it's a 'help' kind of image, where the hands are coming out of the dark to press against the glass. It's more of contrast than anything, with the different shades of grey, white, and black displayed all across my hand. Shadows in the creases and lines are really cool to look at.

2. What makes the illusion of depth? Value changes, edge quality, or size of objects?

The value changes are really the illusion of depth. The finger tips and edges of my hand are the brightest, and the darkest in the creases.

Response

1. How do these designs show your use of the elements of art and the principals of design to relate to your THEME?

The paper uses black and white and opacity, to portray a galaxy in the background. The waves are movement as well, and the spirals within them can look as though they spin with their repetition. The envelope plays around with color and opacity as well.

2. How do the three designs relate and respond to each other? Do they show change? Do they share a common shape, color or texture?

The theme is movement; incorporated with time, waves, and the orbiting within a galaxy. Time is always moving forward, and that is both a gift and a curse for some. The ocean is filled with life, which is movement within itself. Yet on the surface, there are waves, capable of being calm or violent; but always moving. Planets orbit a sun, a sun orbits the center of the galaxy, and galaxies orbit around one another. The universe is vast, and always on the move. Dark matter and the death of stars are always sending atoms flying across the dark space. In the end, movement is everywhere, and within this project I am trying to project this idea. Change is constant when in movement, which if you think about the designs as more than just pictures, you can see it.

1. What elements of art do you see as most important in his work?

All major elements of art are important in his work; line, color, space, shape, texture, and form all play key roles. They all portray an idea across the work.


2. Which of the principals of design are most important to his work?
Contrast as well as pattern are very big principles, as seen in the Target logo especially.

3. What makes his images interesting to you? How does his work INVOLVE the viewer?
I'm a fan of Adidas shoes, and seeing how he integrated the words/logo, shoe, and color into it are really cool to look at. The designs all throughout it are amazing. Your eye is constantly moving. The Heineken logo is just fun to look at, with the green and red color patterns. The red star is interesting, as well as the different shapes and sizes of the bottle caps. The target logo is just fun to look at, mostly because you can tell what it's for. That being, Targets in Canada during Christmas time. The snowflakes represent the season, and the different lines/patterns across them are amazing. The oak leaf at the end is really cool.
