Culture Jamming

 

 

Culture Jamming

These pictures are good examples of culture jamming. They both show humor and also contain creative/inspirational aspects to them. The first picture shows a man in a radiation suit attempting to give Mcdonalds to a charlie brown. The man in the suit is supposed to be fast food companies. Mcdonalds is supposed to be dangerous unhealthy food and charlie brown is supposed to be the consumers mainly children. The second picture shows the words "Consume This" which is being humorous in the sense that this is what advertising bill boards ask you to do.

This is a mannerism design that was formed by a youth culture, this is characterized by decorative typefaces, vibrating color and vintage illustration (some kind of art work).This art work was used to communicate with different communities and they did so in a very rebellious way.

 

 

 

Split Fountain

This is a very unique type of printing “fountain printing”, which was mostly common during the nineteenth and early twentieth century; however it is still used where it is consisted of two or three colored inks in the fountain of a press or smeared on a silkscreen. This allows the colors to mix to make hues like a rainbow when the process is being started.

 

Underground Comics

 Underground comics are small press or self-published comic books which are often socially relevant or satirical in nature. This is an example of underground comic books because this is a self published comic and it is very relevant in nature now because this actually comic book can relate to many things in the real world.

ILLEGIBILITY

 Words that have been placed in images that can not be deciphered easily. The human eye only needs a few letters to figure out a word.

BIG BOOK LOOK

             

                  A book cover which has a large title and author with a small picture. The title and author is not proportionate to the picture.

Less is More

This company's logo represents Less is More because the "toy" is the focus. You don't need photos or other images just to point across. The company name is toy because they are a marketing company that help other companies' brand  bring an engaging and excitement feeling, like playing with a new toy.

  This is also Less is More because the focus is mainly in the color. With a white background you tend to look at the color more because its engaging.

Film Title Sequences

Film title sequence is a method that is used to label or present cinematic films or television programs. This is also used to represent their key production, cast members, utilize conceptual visuals, and sound. In various films the opening credits have appeared in front of a background. 

Monoalphabets

Monoalphabetic cipher is also known as “The Caesar Cipher.” This system was described in biography of Caesar by Suetonius and by Caesar himself. This type of cipher uses fixed substitutions over an entire message. With this you can make an enormous amount of modes of encryption. “There are over 400,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 such rearrangements, which gives rise to an equivalent number of distinct cipher alphabets.”
 An example is shown in the website: http://people.eku.edu/styere/Encrypt/monoalphabetic.html

Branding Campaign

Branding Campaign is a way for marketers to get the community to buy their product. Marketers will use cute and funny pictures on their campaigns, so when people enter a store they will remember that product. Sometimes the marketers will use songs in their campaigns, if there on the television. For example at the top, the 3 Musketeers candy bar company has three guys on their campaign.

Public Service Campaign

Public Service Campaign is to inform the communities about things that maybe happening. These campaigns are to try to prevent it in the future. The topics could be political viewpoint, philosophical theory, religious concept or humanitarian notion. The campaigns are usually broadcast on a radio or television, it could also be in newspapers. The funds for these campaigns are often sponsored by trade associations, civic organizations, non-profit institutions or religious groups. In my example up top, the National Drug Councils made this Public Service Campaign against drug use. They had stated on the photo that drugs hurt everyone and not just the drug user.

Abstract Graphs

The purpose of abstract graphs is to project in the mind an image that supports imagination. These graphs are simple mental diagrams. However boundaries between graphs and maps are blurring and it’s sometimes difficult to tell the difference.

Comic Lettering

Comic book lettering has some grammatical and aesthetic traditions that are unique. What follows is a list that every letterer eventually commits to his/her own mental reference file. The majority of these points are established tradition, sprinkled with modern trends and a bit of my own opinion having lettered professionally for a few years now. The majority of these ideas have been established by Marvel and DC, but opinions vary from editor to editor, even within the same company.

Perfect Rectangle

Perfect Rectangles

Also known as the “golden rectangle” which is what most graphic artist use the "perfect formula" to use in-order to help them achieve the perfect rectangle that would for many projects. The reason being that many standard page size, which many find limits their design.  Despite that, many poster or book covers are squatter than the “Perfect Rectangle” which has a 1:4 ratio instead of the ideal 1:6 ratio. 

This is the formula that is often used to create the perfect rectangle
