Project 0.1

A list of things that I would like to make utilizing graphic design:

  1.  Advertisements for a children's channel
  2. Motion graphics video 
  3. Informational poster
  4. Illustrations for a cookbook
  5. A movie poster 

Gathered Images

"Permutations" (1968)
                                    This is a motion graphics video by John Whitney which is around 7 minutes and 25 seconds long. This is one of the graphics in the video but it's very hypnotizing. 

"True Advertisement" (1968)
This is a very colorful advertisement for Lorillard Tobacco Company's True menthol cigarettes. I was really attracted to the bold pattern in the background and on the model's dresses. I would have never guessed this was for a cigarette advertisement but instead maybe a fashion catalouge. 

"Freeform Summer Poets" (2001) 

This graphic is from an ad on the children's channel "Noggin". It feels very nostalgic and I think the type used looks very interesting. There is more to this ad but its purpose was to establish this channel as a place where children could go to learn through their different shows. 





These two prints are from a series called "Atlante Secondo Lenin" which was completed in 1976 and made by Francesco Leonetti. I really enjoy the limited color palette and it feels like a map. The movement in this piece is also very nice. 


Illustration from Salt, Fat, Acid, Heat by Samin Nostrat

Project 2.0

  Semiotics- The study of signs, symbols, and how they are communicated. Denotation- Image or text that is straightforward and gives its exact meaning. Connotation- This is what is not directly stated in a message and can be found through image or text, the context behind an image or text, the form, or even the style. It's something Icon- Symbols or images that take on a very popular role and become synonymous with an organization, country, show, style, etc. Tone- The mood brought forth by a particular style of a design. Most people associate more realistic styles with more serious topics and more cartoony styles with a more childlike tone. However, these roles can be reversed if an author/artist chooses to do so. Metaphor- Imagery in comics that might convey a deeper message in the story.
