The Cave

The filter that was the most useful was the neon glow because it unified the piece by making everything the same color scheme and made it dark and eerie like a real cave. The emphasis is Mumford and Sons because they are a different color scheme and are brighter than the rest of the piece.

Abstruse Bag Front

The emphasis is the bright orange fish and purple anemone around it. I made the things around it darker colors to make it stand out more along with putting white stars on the anemone that vary in opacity to grab your attention. The large swirl (ink) leads your attention around the bag, along with putting objects on the creases to make different sides have different parts of the same shape. I used things that are in focus and out of focus to make it unique, in making the things that are supposed to be closer darker, and the things that are supposed to be farther away lighter and more opaque. My word is abstruse and my bag demonstrates this word because it is supposed to be difficult to understand and mysterious so I thought of the ocean. Space had also struck me as difficult to understand so I incorporated that in the form of stars on the anemone while they can also be thought of as starfish.

Bauhaus School Information

The Bauhaus school was located in Germany, and it was later moved to Dessau. It was founded by Walter Gropius in 1919 and ran until 1933 when it was forced to shut down under pressure from the Nazi political party. Bauhaus' designs were so different because it's main focus was on reimagining the real world into something completely different. A craft-based curriculum was taught in which it would push designers to create useful and beautiful objects that were functional.

I especially love this last piece because it is creative, fun, and just plain cool! He didn't just design this on a piece of paper… He thousands of coffee cups and filled them with various liquid and then took the picture. The fact that he took the time to actually make this is amazing. I also like that that he put in all this work to be a designer that needs the energy from coffee to make a piece about coffee.

I like this second piece as well because it is also very colorful, fun and funny. He makes the buttons in the poster look like a fly because the it is made of button flys. His creativity and humor shine through in his works.

I absolutely love this first piece because it has so many happy, fun, and bright colors. It reminds me of a comic book, but I like how it wasn't just labeled as a comic book; instead it is just implying that it's what he was trying to recreate. It is very cool and everything blends together nicely.

Dark

The emphasis of this piece is the white shape in the bottom left corner. This relates to my theme because it represents outer space, and space is infinite.
