Flipbook

Animation can be tricky to present, finding new and innovative ways to showcase a piece sometimes can prove to be difficult. However this image I found on Tumblr shows an ordinary flipbook, but as the design is of a colour pallet with Rainbow detailing; once in motion the piece creates a rainbow arch once captured. A camera with a slow shutter speed would have caught this image and I think it is gives a charm to the piece. The image would be perfect for marketing and could be used to advertise things such as books. I really like these images and think a piece that uses interactivity with he viewer is a more effective approach to art exhibiting.

V Magazine

This is an image from an Issue of V magazine featuring Lady GaGa. I think this image is bold and the colouring on the butterfly is beautifully places over the wings, I love the way in which the colour is made of singular segments places together to create a layered effect which show texture and direction.
The photography techniques used as well are brilliant for the final presentation the way the image is cropped creates framing not only from the obvious V but also the dropping and fringed hair. Also by the colour pallete used the main focus centres around the eyes and lips and cheeks, this makes the picture have a range of focal points and allow viewer movement for the piece. The V has been place of centre towards the face which makes for a more unique piece. I could see the piece being presented on a large style, maybe canvas, with butterfly detailing around the image or over the frame, bringing the image into reality.

Snow White

A favourite style of mine is pen work, I love the intricate work and the level of concentration I have to put into the piece. This is why when I saw this piece it instantly appealed to me. The Design is reminiscent to henna in my opinion. However with only the red being prominent, it drew me back to the original Snow White story with the apple. Maybe the design is meant to represent as Snow White bites the apple, all her feelings are small but detailed, uncontrollable and forming many different directions?
The illustrated background is very current and popular today, many magazine segments feature this style of work, the almost manga style eyes, and floral detailing especially is appealing. I can imagine this piece used as a cover for a book or design cover. It has been inspirational in the way It has simplified a popular character but emphasized a highly detailed and aesthetically pleasing background.
