Image & Text in Visual Arts Second Assignment

I am super pleased with this logo. Again starting from my main base of the mannequin head and using her in a different way, I wanted to create a graphic vector image. A logo, but not a simple black and white that you see all the time.

This was actually very difficult for me because I have never done anything like this before. Well I have tried but they always came out wrong and not what I really envisioned. I even posted this on my Instagram because I was so pleased with it.

I wanted to just have a simple white background because I was thinking of the accent color font I wanted to use example for the photo-manipulations. I played with the curves of the base mannequin to get rid of the texture and detail of the original image, so it was just white. Although you could not just simply erase it out because I wanted to keep some of the texture from the neck and hair.

I applied a cutout filter since it seems to be my favorite, followed by a brush tool, opacity low and a pink glow color. I used the better together font that I have used to showcase Bowdacious Designs.

I took note from the Bowdacious Nails flyers to keep it simple and not write so many things, I mainly do photo-manipulations so I picked a nice accent font.

Originally the photo was not tapered at the bottom, so I went with an edgy slanted line to draw an ending point of the design and now that I look at it, it is opposite the way the bow slants so it works out well for balance purposes.

I actually then put this photo on my phone and used the pixlr app that I use for my photos and I added this filter that made the pink in the original logo pop out from the simple black and white logo with the light pink tint I have added to it.

Modern Collage Artist 2nd Paper

John Stezaker Stezaker in his marriage series, focuses on the concept of portraiture, both as art historical genre and public identity. Using publicity shots of classic film stars, Stezaker splices and overlaps famous faces, creating hybrid 'icons' that dissociate the familiar to create sensations of the uncanny. I look at his work as the earlier forms of photo-manipulations, one reason why I relate to it. Stezaker's style is very simple when you first look at it, though when you look deeper on how he matched the male and female features are stunning. It is also creepy on how alike certain opposite gender actors and actresses actually look alike. He does mainly work with portraits, but not just their faces, he also utilizes their gestures of hand placement for insistence. The one image that sticks out to me, is the one half black and white and sephia toned. Normally when I am creating my photo-manipulations, I like to make them all one color. This way it...

The Hudson Valley Inn Logos & Business Card

NEW NEW NEW When thinking about the design concepts for The Hudson Valley in, I did take into consideration for the scenery it provided for city dwellers. Although I still wanted to give it a classy cozy type feel also. I kept a color scheme of black and red, I figured a dark red would be a nice contrast to the black but also pleasing to the eye and also easy to read. I know a typical business card is horizontal, but when putting everything together, I felt as though my designs looked better in the a vertical manor. Plus I believe it gives it more of a personal touch. I made sure to have the back of the business card readable and neat, all a business card needs is basic information, and in this case information of the restaurant manager. I also made it a little authentic by having Maines actually zip code. I also added a personal touch and added a filter to the card as a hold, like a card stock with some light ridges.

M3 CD booklet Part 2

My concept for my CD, consumed around the idea of Cocooning. Meaning everything around me is in fact me. Ether it is wrapping yourself in music/lyrics or just stuff in general. I wanted to keep the inner pages 2,7,3,6 simple so they did not come off as to busy. Within a CD booklet, the the lyrics are at some print you should still be able to read them. When it came to the subtle images throughout the booklet, I made images that fit the song and lyrics at hand. Example: Light On by Eric Balfour "There will be a light on the planet it for you." I decided to go with an image of planet to go hand and hand, while always using my color scheme which is a pink. Now when it comes to the Puppet by Alaska Thunderfuck, I decided to make the lyrics and the song title like they are held up like strings and made a creepy version of a puppet face that fades into the background. Pages 4 and 5, I wanted it to be a poster like image that you would be able to rip out and hang...
