Paul Klee

This is my interpretation of Paul Klee's 'A line is a dot that went for a walk'. This is one of my favourite quotes as an aspiring visual artist.

Here I have used various paint brushes to convey a digital painting. I have used an earthy pastel palette which can be seen in alot of Paul Klee's works.

Above is a zoomed look at the way its was painted. As you can see blending of small dots make up this piece giving literal meaning to the quotation.

Design Brief ACM1009- We Come In Peace

Aim

This poster is designed to display cultural, technological and the diversity of human culture in today’s modern society. The main aim for this poster is to showcase all facets of human existence.

Benefits

The benefits that this poster provides to the target audience is a snapshot look into the life of human existence here on planet Earth. This poster will endeavour to showcase different sides of human life. The first area is cultural. The poster will display male and female bodies of different ethnicities. The ethnicities to be displayed will be humans from all continents show casing their different aspects different looks from hair to skin tones. This will be done to display that planet Earth is made up multicultural beings. Another element that will be included is the word “Hello”. This is the international greeting that unites all countries. This will be displayed in different languages and symbols to showcase again the Earth's diversity and multiculturalism .The next portrayl of human life that will be included is technology. Technology is ever changing and growing it is such an integral part of human life therefore needs to be included. Self-reliant equipment such as computers and apple products such as iphones and imacs will be on display. It is important to have these products in as they are part of everyday life. All these areas are important aspects to be added as it is the primary reason for creating this poster.

Target Audience

The target audience this poster is targeted at is any form of human life within our Milky Way, as this poster will be sent into space any alien form of life within our surrounding area. It will communicate information about human life in present time and will hopefully be a bridge of communication.

Site Structure

The Structure of the poster/ plaque will be simple. As it’s is going to be a source of communication for alien life form it should not be complicated and straight forward. That is why only 3 elements of modern human life have been chosen to be portrayed. The poster will keep to this format so it is not over whelming.

The first poster sent into space in 1972 saw a naked man and woman drawn in counter line. This poster will have a much more fuller look at Earth bound human life and will be a photograph. A photograph will be used as it shows human life in its truest form.

The photograph will have different ethnicities brought together, holding different forms of technology in the palms of their hands. Underneath them will be the word hello, within their native language.

Each person will be dressed in traditional native dress , hands out holing a form of communication they use in life. THIS SHOWS HOW WE AS HUMANS COMMUNICATE.

The Red Shoes

The Red Shoes is a tale by Hans Christen Anderson which sees a young adoptive girl given the life of luxury by her wealthy adoptive mother. However the young girl, obsessed with wealth was dismissive of her adoptive mothers illness and then death and was preoccupied with her new red shoes. She then became a compulsive dancer from her dismissive actions. She the had to eventually cut her legs off.

   

For the opening title I went for a simple approach.  I decided to go with a mixed media style. My inspiration for this was the Canadian children's television series Angela Anaconda (As seen right). I have used photographic elements as seen in the legs and curtains and digital animation with the shoes, floorboards and backdrop. I also decided to have the shoes as Adidas high top sneakers for a more modern and urban audience.

The opening seen shows legs dancing. As the scenes change the backdrop changes from a light white through to grey then black. This will be transitional from white to black. As the feet dance, along with music this shows intensity and tries to evoke this from the audience.  As the feet continue to dance the curtain moves down  again instilling a climax is about to end. The final scene will show the legs falling to the floor with drops of blood dripping and the main title being present. This shows the jist of the story without giving away the plot in full.

Social Conscience

This is an poster I have created for the RSPCA. I focused my energies on a fully animated piece which is fun and inviting. I feel it will engage both younger and older generations. The RSPCA's slogan is 'for all animals great and small'. I decided to take a literal approach as it is understandable for all viewers. Therefore I decided to create a poster that ranges from large animals like the elephant to the smallest, the butterfly.

The Poster, I feel displays their message clearly and precisely. The poster drawn up in photoshop shows the use of many photoshop elements. The animals were all hand drawn and coloured in with the piantbrush tool. The backdrop was a brush preset from a jungle graphic.  

The logo that I designed for the RSPCA was a continuation and follow up piece in the same style of my original poster. In keeping with the theme and slogan 'for all animals great and small' I decided to use animal foots prints to convey the message and reiterate the work the the RSPCA does. I have used elephant, giraffe, horse, dog and chicken foot prints from largest to smallest. This was done via the pen , paintbrush, paint bucket tool. I also used stamps.
