ILLUSTRATION

These pictures by Philip Straub is considered illustrations because fine art (Graphic Design) is something that a person can buy from the artist and very practical work that you can used over and over again. Illustrations are sometimes unmemorable and the artists' techniques are different from the people's desires that they wouldn't buy them (depends on the situation). These drawings are for ones who loves fantasy and ones that are unusual in the modern world. I felt this is a great picture because it grabs my attention by the woman's face and the bright colors with it. The fantasy look makes me want to have or draw in that sort of way. This is from a novel called __ Utherworlds The Illustrated Novel __. What I like about the picture is the girl with angel wings -- looking like an Italian statue with the sea covering her -- and the bright colors of a mystical place with deer and herons on top of the water. It looks like the angel was in the place where there's peace and harmony. The people who love this picture will find themselves calm and like having a guardian angel watching the animals and everywhere around her. This picture is also from the same book perviously: __ Utherworlds The Illustrated Novel __. This work; however, didn't come from the book like the other two. But the author, Philip Straub, used his illustrations for a number of reasons: broadcast media, book jackets, CD covers, magazines covers, trading cards, etc. He's the Art Director of Lord of the Rings: War in the North. He worked with Disney, DC Comics, Warner Brothers, etc. His pictures "focuses on invoking an emotional response from his images through composition, color, light and subject matter." What I like about this picture is it's very unusual and extraordinary in it's own way. The plug with blood on the arm is very interesting and it's far more special than the others I've put and seen. POSTER DESIGNS Even though there no reason that picture is put into market, the designer -- Bruno Marinho -- uses and creates pictures to "create rich and simple user-friendly interfaces, brand strategy, web products, and mobile applications." The Elements of Design has nice colors (the brightness of the light), a lot of lines, nice texture of the camera head, the value is nice with the shadows and different tones of colors, and the volume is pretty good (the camera looking almost real). The Principles of Design has emphasis (the camera head with lights), the harmony is well-done, unity focuses on the camera and the words coming out, and opposition is great when the lights from the camera comes out like the movie is on. The craftsmanship is extraordinary with the camera as a head. The font is very cool and looks like from the movies and I love the way the words came out of the popcorn box. It's good for movie-crazy and fantasy-like who like to see the clever painting. This picture is used for moviegoers who interested in the movie AVATAR. What's good about this poster is the blues, a bit of line, shape (irregular), texture (on the glow of the face), tone on the face, and bit of volume. The emphasis is the face along with the font which pops out from the dark blues and black. The harmony of the picture is very attractive with the look and realistic of the face. Unity is great for the same reasons. The face shows a dreamy like looking at the camera. Beautiful piece of work because it shows the expression and the darkness of the picture. The text is prefect for the picture: simple and exotic.



This picture shows a new technique for the text AVANT ROUND. It's good for people who wanted to have something new like the font. The colors are simple and fits with the line and shape of the text and the form. The colors and the text is the "Center of Interest" (Emphasis) and the picture looks attractive altogether. Nice unity and opposition.
