SPEAKING FROM EXPERIENCE

TINTIN TORNCRANTZ
Where Eros Makes It's Home
2010

I came across these photos and was stunned at how beautiful they are. I think the colours and the lighting's are amazing.
The bottom image is what caught my eye. It is a photograph of a busy city street and I think the Torncrantz has captured the rush and chaos of the street

What is Graphic Design

COLETTE
213 Rue Saint-Honore 75001 Paris

On a holiday in Paris I came across Colette, a design shop that open in 1997 which holds a variety of exsclucive item. I found the shop amazing and full of new design, it also has an art gallery on the top floor which hold diferent exhibitions.
Here are some of the products/designs you can find in the shop.

How To
Photography and type
I like the veriety of diferent layouts,fonts and colours.
I think it shows that you don't have to have one final poster if more than one works.

MIKE PERRY
I haven't ever added photography and illustration together and it is something that I would like to get in to.The images below are inspiring and creative.
I think Perry's work is individual and unusual which to me makes it eye catching

I love fantasy lands and here Mike Perry has created a world that works but doesn't make sense.
i love how simple his work is and only uses outlines without shadings.

MIKE PERRY
Mike Perry has really inspired me to look more in to type as image. His work is so creative and show how type can be illustrative and fun.
I recently bought some of his "iron me on" T-shirt transfers so that I can wear him work

Beautiful type and image connected together with ink

Illustrations cut from laminated wall panels and reconfigured as a kinetic Mobile at the shows entrance.
joining type and images together.

Strong bold type with soft images working behind the type

lighter colour for background image making the type the main part of the poster.

Illustrations also used at the cafe in the design museum, makes the exhibition carry on. I think it looks clever and draws your attention to sitting down and using the cafe.

SELF PORTRAIT by sALuUMI was captured by this images as it is made up from just text to create a self portrait of a man.
The colours are exciting and I think they create feeling coming out of the man.
The sizing and the change of font make the image and it is something I would like to learn.

Don't Panic

"Weevilgirl"- artist
being Glamourous
this artist has created an image that shows "being Glamourous"
I think the images relates to my "dont panic" brief. I think the woman in the images is trying to look glamourous but I think there is an evil side to it as it is drawn with pointy harsh lines, her crown is also falling off which isnt very glamourous

John Dicandia makes his own covers for past vogue magazines how he imagines them.
They are just for fun but I love the style of both images especially the penice and the randomness in the top image.
relates to my project for "dont panic"
