Team 1 - Comic Lettering

Comic Lettering

Comic lettering is just a type if letting that designers used to catch peoples eyes. For example they would us it in the comics so people would want to read it. They use different colors to go with the stories too.

Both of these are examples of comic lettering and just shows all the different colors and shapes that they show. and as you can see they do catch your eye

Strips and Panels by The Chanel Flyers

In the article Strips and Panels, it talks about comic book and how they are laid out. It tells how the panels or the “gutters” between the scenes or text boxes are the structures of the whole comic. “It the invisible track that keeps the plot going”. The way it is set up, allows the reader to see every possible angle of the story, therefore it is easier to build a picture in your head of it. Some artists used this technique to help portray a conflict in some of their painting. By just putting a gutter in between two characters, the author can build a conflict between them.

 

 

 

 

Team Ice: Frame by Frame

Frame By Frame
Team Ice

'Frame By Frame' is a sequential visual narrative tool used for storytelling. One of the earliest examples of 'Frame By Frame' can be found on Trajan's Column in Rome. A more recent example of 'Frame By Frame' can be seen as comic strips in newspapers. The true forerunner of the more modern 'Frame By Frame' is found in El Lissitzky's About Two Squares: A Suprematist Tale in Six Constructions. 

Most sequential images are accompanied by words, however, the designers have sometimes used the wordless sequence to express a concept.


This is an example with words.

This is an example of wordless.

Stencil Type - Team Kryptonite

During the 1940's Ruth Libauer Hormat made an easy to use stencil, that was and is considered state of the art. Today there are many different types of stencils, due to technology such as computers.



Stencils can be used to portray different meanings such as raw or urban such as the RENT logo.

 

There is also the contemporary design of sans serif

which is used for a lot of art such as posters and books.

Parody- Imagine Graphics

Parody

 

 

Parody is one of the most common forms of visual satire, it takes a well known image and alters it into a visual pun, it has been largely practiced during the second half of the 20th century.

 

 

 

 Der Spiegel is a German magazine and it showes here the orginal cover of president Bush and some of his coworkers and it symbolizes the Iraq war.

                       

This is the same magazine but used as a visual pun and it symbolizes how they were against the war, people may think that this is easy to take a picture and just tweak it but if there is to much done then the parody will suffer if theres  not enough it could be plagerism so some work is put into this process.

Dynamic Diagonals by Pandora

Nineteen-thirty was the tipping point in the history of graphic design. Russian avant-garde graphic artists, who had embraced the Revolution wholeheartedly, began to face persercution by Stalin's regime. Their ideals were crushed and their creativity curbed.

Diagonals then were to show propping eacvh other up and adding unity to the design.

Russian diagonal artwork

Today diagonals give the piece of art an irresistible swing.

Abstract Graphics:  

Abstract Graphics, graphs or images that can be defined as abstract. They do not pretend to depict a realistic picture. The purpose is to project in the mind an image that supports our imagination. They are simply mental diagrams. They are a graph, idea that was drawn out of something that was thought by someone.  

A different way to show a graph but this still shows a thought out process by the graph of something In the back of the picture.

This picture/graph shows the whole process of a mouse preforming an action, to make something happen. It is a thought out process of a mouse doing the process and then the process being displayed

Dream Team - Perfect Rectangles

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

 

 

Pandora Changing genres project

We did Animation for our genre. Animation has changed greatly in the past 40 years. In the 70s animated movies were on the decline. The Black Cauldron had did so bad in theaters that it was ten years before the movie actually came out on VHS. Animated movies in the 70's had "drawn" graphics and looked like everything was drawn by hand. Nowadays animated movied have a 3-D effect to them and stand out from the background. Animated movies cost 5-10 more times to make than they did in the 70s.

Vibrating Color by Pandora

Vibrating color

Vibrating color is a derivative of 1960s psychedelic style, which was an ecstatic blend of sex, drugs, rock and roll and the Bauhaus artist Josef Albers. Albers, through his "Interaction of Colors" classes he unwittingly helped launch the vibrating color trend that would typify the psychedelic poster and tie-dye graphic concepts.

Tie-dye

Vibrating color is now one of the many tools in the colorist's kit. Evolving from psychedelia, jarring color combinations that stimulate optical dimensionality are still common in imagery suggesting a youth culture aesthetic.

Identity Theft (2013)   >   Up the Front (1972)

Identity Theft (2013):

Identity theft is about a woman that is a professional at identity theft. She steels a poor man’s identity racks his credit card bills up to a very high amount. She only gets away with it because then man’s name is sandy. Now that could pass for a woman’s name as well. No one ever questioned her. Well Sandy the man whose identity was stolen set off to find this woman who has made so much damage in his life.

Up the front (1972):

A boot-boy who is a coward is the star in this movie. He went to war in 1914 had to be hypnotized to save England. With the master plan tattooed and is butt the Germans are hot on his trail to try and make him hand over the plans. Tattooing it on his butt was the only way he could get the plan of action to the British.

Similarities and Differences

They are similar because they are both comedies. Yes I understand we may not fond the common comedy as funny as they did back then, but it was still funny to the people back then. They produce jokes. Also funny situations are produced in each movie.

Now what would be different would be the way they were produced. Not totally the same but they have the same concept. The 2013 movie is modern day. It is relatable to us. We get great joy out of watching it. As did the people that watched comedies in 1972 enjoy them. We do not enjoy them the same as they are not what we are used to. The old movie has some scenes where there was laughter in the funny scenes and there aren’t that in the today films. The graphics are almost totally different as well. It has a much clearer picture. 

This is 40 and Now You see, Now You Don’t

This Is 40 is an update to the lives of Pete and Debbie, which we were introduced to from the film "Knocked Up". Now the couple is married, living with two daughters, and they have to learn how to overcome the obstacles faced during life. In doing so, they experience many hardships and downfalls, but this soon brings them closer and happier than before.

Now You See, Now You Don't is about a chemistry student who invents a spray that makes the wearer invisible. This is all fine and dandy until a gang of crooks find out about the formula and want to steal it to use during a bank robbery. Now, it's up to the student and his friends to stop them. While being chased, the kids find themselves in predicaments that may be difficult to get out of.

There are many differences between these two films. Not only is the plot completely different, but the way the movie is being portrayed is different. Examples of this include how the script was written, the props used in each film, the general audience targeted for both films, the coloring and music being used during or in between scenes, and just the general aspect of each film. The only similarity would be the surroundings in the film which was a community neighborhood setting.
 

The Sting and Horrible Bosses

As years have come and gone, films have been changing due to new technology, new digital images and futuristic effects that make films look more realistic.

The film, “The Sting”, a 1973 movie, it takes place in the city of Chicago during the 1930’s. The plot is about a young con man seeking revenge for his murdered partner. He teams up with a master of “the big con” to win a fortune from a criminal banker. The film quality was very poor, but at the time, it was great considering when the movie was created and what cameras and lenses were available. The mood of the film was funny and creative during the 1970’s, and shows that there are many similar concepts between comedy movies back then and now. The Sting seems to be a little complex but throws a slight twist in, to keep you on your toes and keep you interested through the entire movie.

A recent film that has been a top comedy movie of the 2011-13 time period and has similar concepts and themes is the movie “Horrible Bosses.” The plot of this film is about three great friends that hate their bosses. The friends are pushed to the idea to kill their bosses, and decide to hire an ex con man to help them plot to take their bosses down. This comedy movie has a great twist at the end and has the same style even as movies like “The Sting” that was created almost 40 years ago.

The film takes place in present time and has a hilarious plot as 3 grown men adventure together to kill one another’s bosses. With the new technology in today’s day in age, screen imaging has become amazing and clearer with lots of things like HD or IMAXX theater viewing. Recent or older films that contain similar traits that even in the past, when cameras and tools weren’t as technical or clear, had great casts and plots that got good reviews for the times that the films were created.

Ted and Sleeper

Ted- You can’t even compare a movie from the 70's such as sleeper to a movie like Ted today. The comedy in Ted seems more real life and the jokes seem a lot dryer. We also noticed that there is a lot more perverted jokes and more cuss words in the new comedies like ted, Sleeper didn’t have any foul language and or perverted jokes.

Sleeper - When you watch the comedy sleeper from 1973, most of the comedy consist of witty jokes as well as stupid tricks that go wrong.

The Groove Tube:

“The Groove Tube” was a 1974 low-budget comedy film written and produced by Ken Shapiro. It mocked television and the counterculture of the 1970’s. This film was originally made to be shown in the Channel One Theater which only played R-rated movies. The film starred Richard Belzer and Chevy Chase and included many different skits. Some of the skits were “The Dealers”,”Koko the Clown”, a public service announcement about venereal disease, and parodies of cooking shows. The movie also shows several spoof television commercials.

The 41 Year Old Virgin who Knocked Up Sarah Marshall and Felt Superbad About it:

“The 41 Year Old Virgin who knocked up Sarah Marshall and felt Superbad about it” was directed by Craig Moss. This movie, like The Groove Tube, mocks other movies from around the time it was made. This movie mocks other comedy movies like “Knocked Up”, ” Superbad”, ” The 40 Year Old Virgin” , and “Forgetting Sarah Marshall”. This movie also pokes fun at multiple other movies and television shows.

These two movies differ because the comedies now, even though they have a similar goal to mock other movies, are a lot raunchier. The budget for “The Groove Tube” was $200,000 while the budget for the newer movie was $1.3 million. “The Groove Tube” made $20,447,000 from box office but “The 41 Year Old Virgin who knocked up Sarah Marshall and felt Superbad about it” went straight to DVD because of so much competition.  They also differed by the way the movie looked. The clothes they wore, the cars they drive, and the quality of the movie is all different.

ImaginGraphic - Forced obsolesence

Forced obsolescence also known as "style enginneering," was used to increase consumer interest and make products more stylish through modern design. Marketers, promoters, and commerical artists believed that profists could be increased with packaging and promoting merchandise given a modernistic veneer. Raymond Loewy was an industrial design pioneer who referred to force obsolescence as MAYA. MAYA stands for Most Advanced Yet Acceptable.
    
  
The MAYA principle rejected orthodox modern austerity while promoting colors and shapes that telegraphed a sense of the new and improved. MAYA sought out forms that wasn't predictable but took the next step further. It was also a safe route to take to avoid attempting to make over a thousand products in new shapes and shades. This concept is still used today by some of the biggest companies. For example Coca-Cola is one of the oldest brands, but they try to keep their sense of heritage and still swtich up the style.

Team Kryptonite - Motion Graphics

Motion graphics is the combination between moving effects and sounds. In the 1920's, artists turned their visuals and writtings into animated motifs and music. The link below is an example of a popular motion graphic, the Walt Disney logo.

 

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9wDrIrdMh6o&feature=endscreen&NR=1

 

Hans Richter and Viking Eggeling were considered the first artists to use motion graphics. Over time, motion graphics became more advanced and more artists began to use this idea in their creations. The series of pictures below are still shots of Eggeling's Symphonic Diagonale.

 

 

Music is a huge part of motion graphics. The purpose of this art is to make visuals pop and have more to them with the addition of music to animation. When the music is out of the animation, the magic seems to disappear.

 

Shadow Play- Team Ice

Shadow Play


Graphic designers use shadow play to give depth to two-dimensional images. Photographers use different lenses, mirrors, and filters to control the light to create the feeling of depth and movement to a still photograph.

The shadows in this leaf make it feel almost 3D, you can tell what the texture of the leaf is like just by the shadows in the creases of the leaf.


These pictures use people and objects to create illusions with their shadows. This is also a popular way to use shadow play. Shadows allow graphic designers the ability to make their work leap off the page.

Magic Mike(2012):

Review: There has been a lot of debate on this movie. On one hand it is a very fun and erotic movie that drew in an array of fans. On the other hand several critics have pointed out that this movie has poor acting skills by some, and dance routines that are more creative and athletic rather than the erotic type dancing you would see in a place like this.

Summary: Magic Mike written by Reid Carolin and directed by Steven Soderbergh follows a young man as he is introduced to the world of male strippers. Throughout the movie “Magic Mike” shows “the kid” all about the business. There is conflict, drama, and even love.

Characters:  Obviously the protagonist of this movie is “Magic Mike”. This is because throughout the movie he is always dealing with one thing or another and not to mention he is the main character! By the end of the movie Mike has gone through enough that he has changed which would also mean that he is a round character also. My opinion the antagonist of this movie could be many different people; however the biggest of them would be Dallas the club owner. I say this because throughout the movie he is taking advantage of the talented dancers he has by telling them how to do their jobs and at the end of the movie he backs out of a big deal he had with Mike involving another club in Florida. This also makes him a flat character because he did not change or learn throughout the movie.

Budget: The budget of this movie was approximately $7,000,000 and the gross income ended up being $113,721,571 which indicates that this movie was an overall success and made a profit.

A movie such as this would be deemed widely inappropriate in 1970’s. This movie would never have been made in that time.  Nor would so much money be spent on a movie that may or may not be a hit. I’m sure even today that some people were offended by this movie basically because of the entire setting and plot.  Can you imagine what your grandparents would say if they saw this in the70’s?

What To Expect When Your Expecting (2012):

Review: After reading through the reviews for this movie and watching it myself, it became all too clear that it was made for the intent of being a comedy and informing the audience on the ups and downs of pregnancy; However most people say that the movie was flat and was basically a documentary like film. What to Expect When Your Expecting was written by Shauna Cross and Heather Hach. It was directed by Kirk Jones.

Summary: This movie follows the pregnancies of 5 women.  They tell of all the situations whether good or bad that can happen while being pregnant. Throughout each story there’s typical comedic moments and the bland moments.

Characters: All 5 women would be the protagonists. In this the antagonist is more than likely just nature.

Budget: The gross income of this movie was $41,102,171.

http://youtu.be/JQTetUGvKWk

Friends With Kids(2012):

Review: This movie was very well received by most people. After reviewing it I found that the movie was seen as very well written and for the most part very comedic. This movie was Written and directed by Jennifer Westfeldt.

Summary: This movie follows two people who have been friends for a very long time who decide to have a baby together but not have a personal relationship.

Characters: The two main characters, Jason and Julie, are most definitely round characters because throughout the movie they realize that having a child while in a steady relationship is hard enough let alone having one when they are not together.

Budget: The gross income of this movie was $7,250,054.

Dr Phibes Rises Again (1972)

 Storyline:

The moon rises at a predestined angle and awakens the sleeping Dr. Phibes three years later. To his dismay, he finds his house has been demolished and his papyrus scrolls stolen, the scrolls he needs to find the Pharoah's Tomb in Egypt, where the River of Life flows. After identifying the source of the papyrus theft, he packs and leaves for Egypt with his assistant Vulnavia, still intent upon awakening his dead wife Victoria. The parties responsible for the theft of Phibes' scrolls suffer an attrition problem as Inspector Trout chases him across the world.

Critics:

•          Lack of a coherent theme to unite killings

•          Its insistence of including the characters of Inspector Trout (Peter Jeffrey) and Sir Waverly (John Cater), for no other reason than that they were also in the first film.

Merits:

•          The sets are lavish and colorful and the clockwork creations of Dr. Phibes have their kitschy charms.

Main Characters: Vincent Prices as Dr. Anton Phibes, Robert Quarry as Darus Biederbeck, Valli Kemp as Vulnavia, Peter Jeffery as Inspector Trout.

Budget: $75,000

Man of La Mancha (1972)

Storyline:

Dale Wasserman's long-running Broadway smash comes to the screen in this musical based on Miguel de Cervantes' classic satire Don Quixote de la Mancha. Cervantes (Peter O'Toole) is arrested and put in prison by the soldiers of the Spanish Inquisition after staging a comic performance which mocked the Spanish government. Cervantes' fellow inmates are eager to divvy up his belongings, but the author is desperate to save a manuscript of his latest work; in order to win the prisoners over, he stages, with their assistance, his latest comedy about the delusional knight Don Quixote (O'Toole). Don Quixote, with the help of his loyal manservant Sancho Panza (James Coco), is determined to battle evil, though he most often finds himself combating windmills. Don Quixote encounters the beautiful virgin Dulcinea -- personified by a jailed prostitute, Aldonza (Sophia Loren) -- and is certain he has found the love of his life. However, tragedy befalls Don Quixote when a band of savages rape Dulcinea as he sleeps, and he must decide where his greatest loyalty lies when his niece Antonia (Julie Gregg) arrives, asking Quixote to please return home to his family. In a move which was widely criticized at the time of the film's release, Peter O'Toole's singing voice was dubbed for most of his musical numbers, while Sophia Loren did all of her own vocal tracks. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi. The Budget of this film was $12,000,00 and filmed in Italy and the United States.

Main Characters: Peter O’Toole as La Mancha, Sophia Loren as Dulcinea, James Coco as Sancho Panza, Harry Andrews as the Inkeeper and Governor.

Summary:
When comparing romantic comedies from 1972 and todays movies, there are many differences as you might be able to tell. The view on sex and sex scenes back in the 1970's was much more innocent and conservative. For example in the movie like The Heart Break Kid Lila and Lenny felt it was very important to wait until they were married before having sex, and it was portrayed as a very personal and intimate act. Now in 2012 most romantic comedies have an opening act of a sex scene and it is much more socially acceptable than it was 30 years ago. And of course the obvious differences are film quality and props and budget. Movies were so much less expensive to create back then and it wasn't as big of a deal if they didn't make the projected profit. Another difference is the way the actors, and mainly actresses dressed. Clothing was a lot more formal and you can really tell when  you watch Avanti and The Heart Break Kid;when they shot intimate scenes in the 70's they were more clothed than they are now a days. Another thing I would like to add is the style of comedy they use. In the older movies they used a lot of dry humor, and corky jokes but kept it mostly appropriate. In 2012 most jokes are crude, rude, and sex or drug related. All in all there has been a drastic change in society's view of humor and romance, which has changed the film industry forever. I think that as long as societies views and technology keeps advancing, then we are going to see more and more changes in the types of films that are being created.

to my eyes these are good design, to others they may be bad, but the definition of good is so vague today that it is all opinion based. designs come in all types of variations ranging from extremely busy, to relaxed. they can be unique and cause people to see different meanings behind their creations.    what do you think is a good design?

The Provocative Gesture- Chanel Flyers

THE PROVOCATIVE GESTURE

BSA as a pirate

Change over to a victory job-encouragement for women during World War II

The Provocative Gesture is one that expresses an emotion such as anger or strength using different poses. These were used in eras such as in World War II for propaganda posters especially to show that women were strong enough to work in factories. This was an encouragement to women to show how powerful they were in getting their points across. Provocative gestures were also used to promote gay marriages in the United States as well. To provoke an audience is to give them a kind of stimulus or incite to do something hence why the term provocative gesture came to be because it sends a stimulus to the audience it was appealing to through these such posters.

Extreme Close-ups Team Awesome

Team Awesome Blog post

Extreme Close-Ups:

Extreme close-ups are the retouching of photographs, cropping them, distorting them in some cases, slicing, or enlarging them in order to transform them in to the picture desired. Graphic designers are very fond or close-ups and decontextualize a picture an allow them to make it into something totally different. It allows them to make the main object and the back ground of an image.

In this picture you see that the main focus is on the monkey and that the back ground if faded. That indicates that the main object you are to focus on would be the big monkey right up front.

 

Now in this picture you see the whole picture and everything that goes on it is not focused on one nor the other but the image as a whole and what is going on in it. You see an unusual action, men playing ball with elephants. You look at how many elephants, how many men and how many balls.

Team Awsome: Floating Heads

Graphically vivd images help get a message that is trying to symbolize or an idea that an artist is trying to show through his art work. During the nineteeth century Aubrey Beardsleys image of Salome admiring the several head of John the Baabtist in The Dancers Reward in 1893 is stylish striking and decidedly glory but by looking at the photo his head is attached but not showen. In the photo of John the Babtist in The Dancers Reward the picture looks like its going to almost pop out of the image due to graphic vivid images but the head is simply set on a pedestal looking somewhat forlorn. Another way not always used approach done by artist is found by the famous black and white election poster of Adolf Hitlers failed 1932 attempt to be elected as chancellor of Germany. The photo of Adolf Hitlers head with a dull face not showing any emoetion which is harder for viewers to understand what the artist is trying to show. The examples of art that are being used all have the same approach given to portray the meaning behined each art piece. The term "Floating Heads" is best described as a technique used to create art by taking a head of a famous or historical changer that has a strong color backround to extract the head of the photo.

David Byrnes says that music has different tones that fit in different venues. By this he means that the sound of the different types of music reflects off of different places better than others.

1.      Pass the Dutchie: Instrumental feel from it. You listen to the tone and rhythm more than the actual words.

2.      Sunrise: All instruments. No words so you get the feel of the instruments and beat and are not distracted by the words.

3.      Bad Fish: Reggae sounding. Soothing music that would sound best with little people in a smaller venue.

4.      Pachuca Sunrise: Soft rock. Vocals are soft. Would also sound good in a smaller venue

5.      Stay: Very personal song. Listen to the meaning of the song, emotion, and feeling more than you do the instrumentals and tone.

6.      Try: About getting up and trying harder than next time. All you can do is try in life. Soft song. Smaller venues.

7.      Drink one for me: Soft song about passed loved ones. Moving on but never forgetting.

8.      The silence: Song about feeling. How emotions can lead a person.

9.      You’re not alone: Emotion. Popular song. Beat is more fit for bigger venues and more people.

10.  Strip: Club music, easy to dance to. Up-beat put under contemporary because it is hip hop out of the box. Set for larger venues with large groups of people.

11.  Till I die: Up beat, hip hop song. Gets the people going. Feel good music set for larger groups of people in more open places.

12.  Wicked Games: Quiet song with a strong meaning. You pay more attention to the words than the rhythm.

David Byrne's article is about music. More importantly about why music is made. In his eyes music has evolved to fit the venue rather than the venue changing for the music. He talks about how operas used to be loud and obnoxious things where the music was more of a background noise rahter than the main focus. He also talks about how music has changed in clubs and how technology has made it so any music can be listened to anywhere.

1. This is War - 30 Seconds to Mars: This song is a stadium rock song. The chorus is made to be heavy and reveberate over itself.

2. Pieces - Red: This is one of the songs that feels like the artist is singing to one person, but could still be a played in a stadium.

3. Fight Inside - Red: This song is not an anthem but its still a song that would be meant for a concert venue. Its in between an anthem and an intimate song.

4. Viva La Vida - Coldplay: This is a mix of orchestra and stadium rock. They use big orchestral intsruments as the music while the lyrics ae those of an anthem.

5. You're Gonna Go Far Kid - The Offspring: This is an anthem. It keeps the audience pumped up the whole time.

6. Billie Jean - Michael Jackson: This one is also an anthem. It doesn't have the same effect on people though. It gets them pumped up but more in the since of what Michael was doing on stage than the song itself.

7. Feeling Good -Michael Buble: This song is remenant of Sinatra and the rat pack. Its got a jazzy feel while having a bang to it.

8. Fever Dream - Iron & Wine: This song is meant for a more intimate scene. A small club, or similar. It seems like he is almost singing you a lullaby.

9. Goodnight Moon - Go Radio: This is one of those songs that wouldn't have the same effect if the mic wasn't invented. It has parts that are big then other parts that are there to fit more into a private scene.

10. Home - Three Days Grace:This song is one of those that is almost built a for a car or listening to on your headphones. It can be played at a concert but it's more a song that is for a smaller group.

11. Breaking The Habit - Linkin Park: This is a big stdium rock song. It's one of the ones that you would hear blasting through the car speakers so others can hear it gratis.

12. Flightless Bird, American Mouth - Iron & Wine: This is another song that has a lullaby feel. It reminds me of what a tribal song should be; just the meaning of the words having a different meaning than the song as a whole.

13. Misty Mountains - Peter Hollens: This song reminds me almost of tribal african music. The words reverberate through each other and hit you in your core.

14. Duel of the Fates - John Williams: This song is an orchestral piece. It has ebbs and flows that would run through the orchesta hall. The way its built it also work very well for the movies with a surround sound that hits different notes harder.

15. Mad World - Michael Andrews: This is one of those songs thats intimate but if you listen to the words it is a lot sadder than an intimate song. It would be made for a smaller space in my eyes but could hold its owns at a bigger place.
