3 concepts

These three logos are representing the greek God Hades. the first concept relates to the cheerleaders for basketball and the horns represent hades. the second concept uses horns again and also hades tail. the third uses the motif of fire. all three need more development. attentions is needed with the use of colours as they don't represent hades strength and power.

The main focal point stand out as the giraffe which leads the eye from the head down to the body and trees. The image exaggerates the shape of the giraffe creating an interesting focal point.  The image was crated using electronic art, which looks very realistic. The fur on the giraffe creates a pattern by using repetition. 

The curved spine of the giraffe leads the eye across the page and creates a sense of movement. The colours used are very dull and natural to help it look for realistic. The shape of the giraffe 3D, which looks like its popping out of the screen.  The fur on the giraffe looks very realistic due to the texture and amount of detail.  

The colours used for this image remind me of realism because of their subtle warmth.

The concept of the image is to promote the Zoo by creating an unusual perspective of a giraffe. Its aiming to be different to attract attention for their audience. The giraffe could be seen as a motif itself and it represents the Zoo and would be used for other advertisements.

I personally love this image. I think its fun and attracts my attention straight away. I think that Trendland creates beautiful work and this is juts one example. I do believe the add reaches its intention and looks very realistic. 

Trends and Designers

One outstanding trend that I observed during agIdeas 2011 was Comical artworks.

Creative+%26+Art+Direction

Australian artist Christopher Doyle was been reconised by D&AD, AWARD, AGDA, One Show ad Cannes. His work had a comical aspect to it, which caught my attention. He uses text to convey his humour in a simplistic way by using white space and generic black fonts. Doyal also uses crude language to attract attention from his audience, for example he designed AGDA Calendar for 2006. This calendar was designed with the statement “Who the fuck designed this?” During the agIdeas forum, Doyal presented a piece explaining how behind designers backs there is always a critic willing to put down their work. Knowing this, Doyal wanted to “take the piss” out of these critics by turning the joke around on them by already stating what they would have. This ‘comical’ trend allows the artist to have fun with his work and let his personality come through.

The second artist I noticed to use this ‘comical’ trend was Oslo Davis, a Melbourne based illustrator. Davis, like Doyal works with simplistic humour by working usually in simple black line. He draws regularly for the Age, Meanjin, Readings Monthly, Wheeler Centre and has also appeared in the New York Weekly and BusinessWeek. He creates cartoons that depict the mundane and irritating things of everyday life resulting in hilarious consequences. Similar to Doyal, Davis also uses crude language in a generic font standing out on white space. For example this trend is used on his most reconised image of the baker frosting the letters on a cake “get fuc..”. Personally I think this type of humour works best when used in a simplistic way. Doyal and Davis both use the trend of Humour to connect with their audience and attract attention.

The second Trend I observed was repetition of line

Melbourne based artist, Matthew Harding creates diverse contemporary sculpture, public art and design. He works with wood, stone steel and bronze. When looking at Harding’s artwork, line repetition stands out as a strong trend. By utilizing this trend, Harding’s work creates a feel of movement and complexity. This trend also occasionally gives a feel of futuristic furniture; this is evident in his work below.

The second artwork I observed using the trend ‘repetition of line’ was Perth based artist, Elizabeth Delfs. At agIdeas, Delfs presented her work, which sits between garment, object and built environment and explores the rendering of space through pieces that relate to figurative sculpture. Delfs uses the trend of ‘repetition of line’ throughout all the work she presented. Similar to Matthew Harding, she creates a futuristic feel with the use of line. The lines she uses are also hand crafted using materials but they have a feminine look, unlike Harding’s, which have a masculine feel.
