Bauhaus recherche

A nice design i like the deep black contrasting with more distorted colors like the red and dirty yellow. with a good Bauhaus design some straight shapes over lapin each other and connecting well and the text is spread across the design fighting in with the design. 

This one has a defined face in the back covered by a bit of the simple bars design that have a metal look to it text is also fitted around the design looking good I like that the more defined face is still working well with the abstract work of Bauhaus stile.

All colors on this one are distorted and have the old look to it I think it looks good with that design. It has the straight and thick lines that change between the red and black on a yellow background Black and red are defensively the predominate colors for Bauhaus design. 

I like the simple face design a good caricature representing a face feted nicely inside the design making a central point of the design again nice deep lack and red and the text is nicely spread out this one dos not have a distorted or an old look to it but still looks good.   

More different approach on a Bauhaus design very good though using simple shapes and and angle lines the space have been filed with a good design I like how simple it is with just 4 colors 3 shapes and some lines the text is also placed in a nice easy to see place. 

I don't like this one it seams boring and I  don't like the orange contrast as well that the orange fates at the top to a brighter orange the lines seem random and not thought about  they are poorly spreader out and don't seem to have any kind of order.  

there are some examples of how flexible the Boathouse can be it can be used in modern pop culture as you can see from the batman design which to me seem very strong with the batman caricature made from shapes in batman stile and  the text is nicely spread out as well.You can also see that there are some costume designed based from Bauhaus designs with thick lines and defined shapes.   

this is a nice design that already looks like an book cover I like it a Bauhaus logo displayed well and bridging the attention with its slake and simple design and its strong black and white contrast.
and the other design is a nice design wit small amount of colors with not big contrast but working well together i like the circles inside the circles and the lay out of the design .

Research for student hadnbook

 

 I like this design because of its good contrast between the colors  and the idea of it is good and it making the text hard to read  eave tho it is in the center of it.  

 This one has good detail to it and is very well design and the illustration looks grate and appealing  to the eye
i like the complex design and the rich use of the colors as well as very well placement of the text and illustration around the page. 

this is all over the place but it look good with that stile and it gives me an idea of doing a junk pile with all college equipment things overlapping each other and having similar color combination . 

this one is bit more organised than the one above but still bit messy it got nice patent to it showing good contrast between them working well together and it has a ceramic look.it could be good for the handbook if i wanted to make a window or a glass design on the book. 

Not sure if this one is an illustration or and Photoshop but I am sure that it has a high visual impact with good editing defensively catches attention and it has good placement of the tipping part giving it good asterisks might place my design in the similar way.   

this one is not as creative but it is informative and is OK to look at good color chose making things stand out and be viable very well but it has too much empty space ill try to avoid doing that with my design and try to fill most of the area.    

This one give me ideas of filling student head with college equipment or just put it on the ground and the most important thin will raise above the pail of equipment. it has a nice compilation of images overlaying each other might use that for my idea.    

this is a very good illustration it dose the job of showing of the product i like that the illustration matches the design of the product  my desalination be appropriate to the the subject mater .

this have nice humor to it and is appealing to eyes maybe the text is too small I like the use of Photoshop skills mainly the image placement placing the bear behind the woman I am planing to use that skill in my design   

the play of words indicated  to the picture it a good idea I like the picture that fills in the page and also isn't too complicated nice bold big text that is easy to read and it is eye catching and has good balance between the image and the text 

this is and interesting illustration i come arose and i see the Minotaur and the horse and the bat woman thing but the wizard hood had got my attention and made me think of wizards and that it is a symbol of wisdom and wold be good to be used on a student guide book .

Dream interpretation

We was randomly given a description of a dream from a dream shearing website then after reading it had to make a storyboard describing that dream and after i had to take out parts of the story board of the dream and make the composition resembling that dream. It took me 3 attempts to creating a story board that i wad happy with as at firs i tried to adapt Fallout "pit boy" stile for it but it didn't work for 2 times so i just decided to do it with my own stile i didn't care about the detail much as its just an story board. As for my composition i decided to go with an semi abstract of a grey scared face around red red water using paint doing expressive mark making i was happy with the outcome.

illustrations research

I did recherche in to  Bbasquiat work to get some ideas for an illustration cover with automatic expressive painting lots of intuitive work that is very brave and interesting but for many it can seem primitive. it healed me to create the eye design.

  You can tell that the lines of this image are quick and intuitive you can tell the flow of the line being loose and relaxed with the painting I like that the is engaging and is filling the page with things that is heaping around it and the heavy and deep out lies.   

This one is similar to the last one however I like the use of more colors and the contrast between them however the is less happening on the image its is also interesting how the colors are not mixed  just overplayed over each other he must have whited until the first layer had dried before he applied the other one that's what i think.

also did some recherche in illustration over all  to see if it could influence my work in anyway

good use of Basquiat stile nice sharp lines and strong feelings with in the painting  bit more defined and realistic on the body but it works well i like it and how it is interfering with the sharp lines and coloring  might use that cind of contrast in my work it might look good 

Basquiat inspired work looks nice and simple illustration it is is caricature  him in a cartoon form looks neat i like the shading and the stile of the drawing looks very good and like the lines where controlled

some more defied and more developed illustrations with good use of color and form  thous ones mainly inspired me with the use of bright and leaving colors  that are appealing to eye

 Very advanced illustration u can see the high detail in it and the rich use  of collors i like it but it can seem to advance and to detailed to use on a hand book .Nice use of colors and the illustration looks nice i like the flikes lines at the bottom of the tree  and the old paper look around the main illustration it would be interesting to have that kind of effect on the student hand book.

I like the use of likes for shading it gives the illustration a nice effect and stile to it  making it look interesting i wonder how it would look with color might be interesting I might experiment with it .

simple illustration like that can still be successful and look good I like that it has simple straight lines and shapes and good palette of colors  working together well making a good ilustration might look in to it more it has a liter bit of Bauhaus stile to it .
