Collage

Favorite project all year?

Had to be the fish assignment for me. Reason I say this is because it was one of the first projects that introduced me to illustrator, and what I could do.

Caricature

Definition- Exaggeration by means of often-ludicrous distortion of parts or characteristics.

You will notice that the head is the most exaggerated, or is the first thing that you notice. What comes next are the many facial features like the lips, eyes, ears, nose, etc. Depending on the person's personality.

People who inspire me

Well....as strange as this may seem, the only being that has ever inspired me was the fictional character Optimus Prime. Call me crazy, but even though he's a fictional character, he has all the qualities of a good leader. He knows just how to get the job done. I've always fought arguments with logic and patience, and for some strange reason, I always fall back to Optimus Prime. I can't really explain it either.

Homework 5/1/12

I notice that there is a lighter contrast that the newer comics use than the older ones. They rely more on white.

They also use a different kind of layering as you can tell.

From my point of view, the older comics look like they have more detail in the facial expressions than the ones of today.

Pop Art Warm-Up

Pop art first emerged in the 1950s and 60s

.Bright and vivid colors
.Modern
.Unity
.Repetition/uniformity

Pop art focused on a subject and consisted on commercial advertising and comic books.

Includes modern everyday things.

Was very popular among celebrities and major pop artists like Roy Lichtenstein, Ed Ruscha and Andy Warhol.

Surrealism ideas

Something you wouldn't see out in the open huh?

Well, my crazy idea would be a giant bird with the body of a plane being driven by a colorful pony underwater with spongebob's pineapple in the background along with a bunch of other random objects just to fill the screen up.
