The quote I chose is “art is not a mirror to hold up to society but a hammer with which to shape it with” by Leon Trotsky. For my illustration I chose to illustrate a sculptor carving and shaping out society which is represented by people.

 

An artist should never be a prisoner of himself, prisoner of style, prisoner of reputation, prisoner of success. -Henri Matisse

Art is not a mirror to hold up to society, but a hammer with which to shape it. -Leon Trotsky

“It’s through mistakes that you actually can grow. You have to get bad in order to get good.” -Paula Scher

The product I chose for this advertisement poster is windex. I displayed the product as if it is meant for women and she was using it. I made it very simple and straight to the point so the message gets across quickly

My travel poster is on the city Melbourne in Australia. For my poster I decided to focus on the Flemington Racecourse which is a major horse racing venue located in Melbourne, Australia. It is most notable for hosting the Melbourne Cup, which is the world’s richest handicap and the world’s richest 3200 metre horse race. For my poster I illustrated a horse race and illustrated in a simple style like the Art Deco posters. I also used the same style of headline for my poster by pairing a script with a sans serif font

This is my campaign poster for design representative. My slogan for this campaign is designing a better future. For my illustration I decided to create an image that shows a person working on designing or planning something to help the school advance. I used bright colours and some laid back colours to help certain things stand out. I also used simple and bold text to help communicate the message efficiently and clearly.

For my movie poster I decided to combine illustration with real images because I saw this was done in many other posters. In most posters they have the characters from the movie on them. The photos of the characters look like a mix of realistic and drawing. So I added a filter to the photos to give more a realistic but drawn look to it. I also incorporate colours I saw in many of the other movie posters like blue and red which I have used for the background.

Two Furniture Items

The two pieces of furniture I chose is my kitchen light and couch. This couch is simple, comfy, and geometric. Like many other Bauhaus furniture this couch is also geometric, with multiply square shapes in it. As you can see by the look of the couch it has been worn down, which shows that this couch is very durable and provides its function well since we have been using it for over 15 years. Another furniture item I chose is my kitchen light. The repeated use of squares gives it a geometric style. It is very simple, functional and is easy to use.

Two Household Items

The two household items I chose are the tv stand and lamp. The lamp has many geometric features including the circular base and triangular light. This lamp has a very clean simple, and modern design. My second household item is my tv stand. The tv stand is a very minimal, clean, modern glass design. The stand also has a geometric style to it.

Interior of Building

The building I chose to do was the Wilson School of Design building interior. This building is very modern and geometric shaped. The building also has a opened spaced concept and has a very minimal look to it much like the bauhaus interior.

 

 

 

For my readymade object I chose to take a picture of a eggbeater. I chose this object because it looks like a unicycle from a angled view.

My muse is based on my cousin and I used multiple parts of photos that we have taken over the years to create my collage.
