Vinyl Culmination

This band is named Agnostic Iris these are the back and front covers as well as the vinyl. The band produces indie music and the five adjectives used to explain them, their music and the band itself are: meaningful, reassuring, satisfying, variety and storyteller. Meaningful because their music is meaningful tot them and they save every lyric they come up with into a journal or hard drive to be used later on. Variety because even though they are an indie band they like to listen to all genres of music also they like to incorporate more than just indie music into their songs and their songs are all about different events, such as drugs, love, loss, findings, dreams, people. Reassuring because they are relaxing and comforting when you listen to their music but they also have really upbeat songs. Storytelling because everyone of their songs tell a story of someone or about something. Satisfying because when you listen to their songs they sound so good they will make you fall in love over and over again. 

This album is called "The man on the moon" and there is a literal picture of a man sitting on the moon, there is also a lot of negative space, with the title in the bottom left corner and their logo in the bottom right. The back of the album has the logo in the top right corner as well as the list of songs on the left hand side. The actual vinyl has the moon from the front cover because the moon is actually on the vinyl and the man is really just sitting on the hole of the vinyl but because of the cover it gives the illusion he is sitting on the moon.   

The band used darker colours such as black, white, purple and pink because of the galaxy in the background. They also used relatively darker colours because they are a more soft and edgy band and indie is represented by soft edgy colours.

Rule of thirds
The rule of thirds is something you think about when taking a picture, in order to make a picture aesthetically pleasing you need to make it in a third of the picture or on a line that intersects with another line.

Leading line
I know that this is a great example of leading line because it leads the eye up or down diagonally.

These are interrupted pattern because every lamp is down and then the one is up, also every pencil is yellow and the one is red. Which goes along with the interrupted pattern theme.












Framing
This is framing it shows the example because the picture is naturally framed by the door way of the cave.















Filling the Frame
This is a great example of filling the frame because the persons face literally takes up the whole square and fills the frame.

I know this is an example of fast shutter speed because in order for someone to have taken a picture of this girl jumping and the powder/ chalk in the air with her they would have needed the camera to have a faster shutter speed to capture it all, they would of also needed the shutter speed to be fast because it is action and just like the action is fast the shutter speed needs to be

as well.

This image is an example of using a slow shutter speed to get that blurry look, because when someone is moving at a fast speed and the shutter is contrasting that by moving at a slow speed you get a blurred look that most photographers use to their advantages.            

This an example of the difference between a wide aperture and a narrow aperture. In the one where the photographer used a more narrow aperture lens which is 1.8, they successfully managed to blur out the background making the female the main focus. In the picture where the photographer decided to use a wider aperture lens they made both the female and the background in focus.

This picture shows us the difference between a shallow and deep depth of field. If you want a deep depth field you would have to use a more narrow aperture, in doing so it blurs the background and gives you a deeper depth of field. If you were to want a more shallow depth of field you would need to use a wider aperture.

This is the coloured picture of my good copy  logo. 

My company is a SFX make-up company we do; weddings, Halloween, interviews and parties. I chose to use black to represent my mysterious and dark, satire type of humour, I chose the owl because of my awkwardness and quirky habits/ ambiance and I feel that owls are very awkward and quirky creatures as well as very mysterious ones too. My last adjective was to be creative, expressive and passionate  so I chose to go with SFX make-up as my business.

I chose the colours red for the owls face and text  with a green for the background because I wanted those to be the first things that people see and I want people to remember my logo so that when they see it they can recognize it. I also chose red and green because they not only contrast with each as well as compliment each really nice but red is a symbol or danger and risk, I felt that making the logo the way I did with the owl, circle and box was a really daring and risky choice. I chose green because earthy tones draw people in and make them want to stay, I feel if they stay to see the creations of make up and costumes, dresses, wigs, etc. they will tell other people about it and we will get the word out. Black was another colour i chose because as I stated earlier black represents darkness and mystery, I wanted to add mystery to my logo so that people will get curious when looking at and search us up to check us out or ask the person wearing our merchandise about it possibly.





I chose to go with a more thick and animated style of line because I thought that it made the logo seem more friendly and cute, friendliness adds to the curiosity of what the company is and contrasts with the dark black colour to make it seem less scary and deathly. I went for curvy owl feathers instead of spiky or pointy because I thought that it would also make the company brand and logo look less intimidating. I made the circle in the background to give it the illusion of the moon behind the owl. I chose the black box beneath the owl to give it the illusion of the owl siting on a branch or a ledge of some sort. The emphasis was and is put on the owl and hopefully starts at the owl's face because it is bright compared to the background of the circle and the rectangle's fill.

I had and easier time with finding the name then I did with finding the colour and when through a hard time, I over came those problems by asking friends what they thought looked good and then looking up the true meaning of colours.

I learned that making a logo is a long and painstaking process and that not everything that seems easy is.  

Time Changes by: Alex Janvier 20x20 oil on canvas.

Description

This painting is an oil on canvas by the artist know as Alex Janvier it was done in 2012 and mainly features different types of line and swirls. The lines featured in here are straight, diagonal, vertical, curved, spiral, horizontal, thick, thin wavy and as stated before swirly.  The kinds of texture i see are soft, vainly and stringy. The types of shapes in this artwork are circles, lines and triangles. The colours featured in this piece are various shades of white, red, pink, orange, yellow and blue. The colours themselves being bright, pastel, bold, light, strong, soft and complementary such as white and black, yellow and blue, green and red and orange and purple.  

Analysis.

The focal point of the artwork for me if the dark blue lines in the centre and then gradually going up or down from there. The type of balance i think is used is asymmetrical because the painting is dark one side and lighter on the other creating an uneven balance of light. The light is coming from the top left or the middle right and fading into the middle a little bit, it is also getting darker on the middle left-hand side of the painting. The darkest parts of the painting is the top centre, then it leads down to the middle left, before going back to the centre and trickling down the bottom middle and right hand sides of the paintings. This artwork shows a good example of flat space

because there is no space, between the lines there are shallow spaces but there is no illusion of space in this painting. What is repeated the most in this artwork is a lot of the colours such as the whites, pink an reds, as well as the lines, all of them unique but the concept is very much repeated. 

Interpretation.

The meaning behind this artwork albeit was hard to find is that like the lines in this picture time changes frequently and in many ways sometimes more confusing than it seems or appears at first but we have to be ready to accept that change for the better. What is happening in this work is that the lines are going in different directions and some are long and represent big change some are short and represent small change. In this artwork the artist is not concerned with imitating nature. I do feel the artist is concerned with expressing the feeling of uneasiness or anxiety but also relaxation and a sense of calmness as well. The artist is also concerned with lines in his painting and colours because life is full of different paths and feelings. The title tells me everything about this artwork considering without it, it would just be a circle with beautiful lines inside of it and I would think it would only be for aesthetics, instead I know that lines are for time and how it change, how it affects you and etc. The words I find that best describe the piece of artwork are calming, anxiety, uneasiness, relaxation, worry, time, change, exhaustion, complexity, confusion and beauty. 

Judgement

  The theory I feel best describes this art is formalism, because formalism is the theory of attracting the viewer and making them aware of lines, shapes, colours or designs and this artwork does just that it shows you and makes you aware of the lines and colours in the piece. I like this artwork because it's beautiful and it's aesthetically pleasing to my eye, it calming whilst also applying an uneasy feeling within me but it makes me feel nice in a way, it sends off a good vibe.   

Vector and Raster Assignment

The Difference between a vector image and  raster image is that a vector image is composed of paths and geometrical formulas where a raster image is composed of pixels. What that means is that if you were to zoom in on a 14 point font for a vector image it would be clear but if you were to do that to a raster image it would be blurry and have a low resolution.  A raster image is an array of pixels of various colours which together form and image.

A benefit of using the Vector image as stated already is because they have better resolution quality and a higher resolution than that of a raster image. They are also alternatively allow more flexibility. Constructed using mathematical formulas instead of pixels of colour, vector file types such as EPS,AL and PDF* are better for creating graphics that frequently require sizing according to the source: MODassic.

*A PDF is generally a vector file. However, depending on how a PDF is originally created it can be either a vector or a raster file. The image is determined by whether you choose to flatten the layers or retain each one my SOURCE: MODassic. Vector files can be and often are editable so you can open them back up in Illustrator and edit any text or other toll/ element with the graphic unless it is a JPG, PNG or a GIF. SOURCE: Robert Baldwin.

A benefit of the raster image is that it is great when using gradient designs or shading. It is also useful if you are dealing with rich and colour-filled images. An example of a raster based program is Photoshop where as an example of a vector based program would be Adobe Illustrator.  SOURCE: PIXELLOGO. Raster gets more distorted has hundreds of shades of the colour you’re using and vector is smooth with only one shade of the colour you’re using. SOURCE: Image420Screenprinting.

A couple Common uses for vector based programming present-day vector graphic files such as engineering drawings are typically printed on bitmaps after vector to raster conversion and are usually used today in the context of two-dimensional computer graphics, but that is one common use for vectors as well as rasterizing printing and shape printing. SOURCE: Vector Magic. Vector art is created using vector illustration software such as Adobe Illustrator or Coreldraw. These programs use mathematical equations and geometric primitives(points, line and shape) to create art that is clean, crisp and can be scaled infinitely, without  any loss of quality or fidelity. SOURCE: Image420screenprinting. Raster based graphics have the common use in computer graphics, a raster graphics image is a dot matrix data structure, representing a generally rectangular grid of pixels, or points of colour, view able via a monitor, paper or other display medium. Raster images are stored in image files with varying formats. SOURCE: Wikipedia The best everyday use for rasters is simple web graphics such as web buttons, charts and icons. A TIF (or a TIFF) is a large raster file. It has no loss in quality and therefore is primarily used for images used in printing. On the web, because of bad time,  you generally want to use smaller images such as JPG or PNG. SOURCE: MODassic. Raster images are useful for supporting a wide range of colours and depict subtle graduated tones. Rasters are also well suited for displaying continuous-tones such as photographs or shaded drawings.
