Scanner Dreams Questions

1. What is the mood of your image? Is it a result of: contrast, subject matter, depth of field or the figure to ground relationship?

           

            I think the mood of my image is haunting. The black and white colors and the old, vintage type look makes it look spooky. I’m also sticking my hand out, kind of like I’m reaching out for help, and my hands are the most bright part of the whole image. And the bottom image of myself looks like I’m almost fading away.  Its more of a result of contrast I think, and how the colors vary from how close I am to the camera.

2. What makes the illusion of depth? Value changes, edge quality, or size of objects?

           

            My hands make the illusion of depth. I made them the closest thing to the scanner, while my head and body were further away. I also moved my head and hand down half way through the scan to add a wavy, stretchy effect.

Corporate Identity Project Questions

1.How do these designs show your use of the elements of art and the principals of design to relate to your THEME?

My designs represent my theme, confusion, because a lot of the things on the business card and envelope don’t seem too clear. You can probably understand what they are, but not really what they mean. Things seem to be in places that they normally wouldn’t be in, but it works with the rest of the art. I used many elements and principals such as color, texture, and repetition.

   2. How do the three designs relate and respond to each other? Do they    show change? Do they share a common shape, color or texture?

They relate to each other because they both go along with the theme of confusion. I like to work with black and white designs that are mixed with color. That is shown in my envelope and business card. I worked a lot with shapes and lines.

1.What elements of art do you see as most important in his work?

He uses a lot of shape and line. Sometimes color but most of his art looks like black and white with a lot of shapes and textures

2. Which of the principals of design are most important to his work?

I think repetition is the most important design in his artwork.  He uses a lot of patterns and rhythm.

3. What makes his images interesting to you? How does his work INVOLVE the viewer?

I like that he puts a lot of patterns and shapes into his designs. A lot of little things clumped together to form something big! His art isn’t just something that you can look at for a second and fully understand it. You want to look at his work and look for every little shape or pattern and see how it flows and connects with the rest of his design
