While sketching the toys I also was thinking of the poses that I want the character to be in, I had this idea in mind of the two toys being separate but when together you can see that they are actually fighting each other. The idea is for the Dior toy to be higher than the Levi toy. I was also showing some prompts that the toys could have and are attached by gluing on the character. Here the colours I went with. I have done some designs for the packaging of one of the toys to see how it will match the action figure. I made two designs one for an unassembled toy and one for the assembled version and I really like how it turned out. I tried showing a Dior like packaging and I think I succeeded in showing that. But I did face lot of challenges while make the toys. I feel like I wasn’t skilled enough to convey the idea I had in mind. So I had to make the decision and use a different material for the Dior toy. I wasn’t sure of what materials I could use because of the lack of materials I had. So I had to use clay since it’s the only thing I have other than paper. So I used it, I took lots of pictures in the progress but I lost most of them.

i have chosen to do some classic manga I have read, I did that because I have heard a song that described some of the characters perfectly. So I decided to take inspiration from the song for this project. And show the villain origin story. I was thinking of doing 7 pages with 2 animated sequences that are mor of an animatic to can show what I had in mind. Though it might not work since I’m not familiar with animating yet. I’ve finished most of the pages and 1 animatic but I am not able to post the animatic on here, i am really proud of how this turned out!

Anthony Froshaug (1920–84) was an English typographer and teacher. Born in London to a Norwegian father and English mother, he went to Charterhouse School and the Central School of Arts & Crafts. On leaving the Central in 1939 he began to practice as a freelance graphic designer and typographer. As a typographer he was unusual in running his own small (un-private) press, including two periods of printing in Cornwall (1949–52, 1954–7). This attachment to working with his hands (and feet) in the material production of printing, he combined with a fierce intellect and an often astonishing visual sureness. Froshaug can be considered as the most convincing exponent of modern typography in Britain. Froshaug was a natural teacher: he taught first at the Central School (1948–9, 1952–3), then at the Hochschule für Gestaltung Ulm (1957–61), the Royal College of Art in London (1961–4), Watford School of Art (1964–6); in 1970 he returned to teach (part-time) at the Central School, continuing there until illness forced him to stop.
He worked independently as a designer printer before taking a series of teaching posts, including at the Central School of Art and the Royal College of Art as well as a period at the Hochschule für Gestaltung, Ulm, Germany. Both as a practitioner and a teacher, Froshaug liked to work in an experimental workshop environment with opportunities for discussion, rather than through more formal learning structures. Such an approach brought a close circle of friends and associates bearing witness to his originality and significance. In 1946 Froshaug moved to Cornwall, where he met Guido Morris, and set and printed work himself for the first time. He bought a small Albion press and took it back to London with him, printing his first pieces in 1947, including Brean Douglas Newton"s 'The Annunciation to the Virgin Mary' and Stefan Themerson"s 'The Lay Sculpture', and, in 1948, Peter Potworowski"s 'Five Letters' and W S Graham"s 'The Voyages of Alfred Wallis'. Robin Kinross describes these early works as characterised by the conjunction of modernist typography with ancient handicraft elements". The ethos of continental modernism at Ulm was appealing to Froshaug, as was the prospect of the printing workshop, always central to his work as a designer and a teacher. Nevertheless as in so many of his positions, Froshaug struggled to fit the constraints of the institutional environment, and his contract was terminated in 1961. A similarly short period of teaching at the Royal College of Art in London followed, ending in 1964 when he moved to the post of senior lecturer at the School of Art in Watford, which enjoyed the kind of avant-garde spirit that would have appealed to Froshaug. He established the planned experimental printing workshop there, as well as a new and innovative diploma course in visual communication, although this was not a success. While at Watford he produced an exhibition of his own work, in 1965, which remains a definitive account.
Victor Moscoso was influenced by Josef Albers who have been a teacher of victor at Yale.
‘From what I have seen Josef colours collection/ pallets don’t seem that vibrant to me rather a little dull, though his pinks and blues are vibrant which is something victor clearly is influenced by when you see his art work. Paul Klee is a Swiss artist who was born in 18 December 1879 and died 29 jun 1946. His highly individual style was influenced by movement in art that included expressionism, cubism, and surrealism.
Klee was an natural Draftsman who experimented with and eventually deeply explored colour theory, writing about it extensively; his lectures writing on form and design theory. He and his colleague, Russian painter Wassily Kandinsky , both taught at the Bauhaus school of art, design and architecture. His works reflect his dry humor and his sometimes childlike perspective, his personal moods and beliefs, and his musicality.In 1919, Klee applied for a teaching post at the Academy of Art in Stuttgart. This attempt failed but he had a major success in securing a three-year contract (with a minimum annual income) with dealer Hans Goltz, whose influential gallery gave Klee major exposure, and some commercial success. A retrospective of over 300 works in 1920 was also notable. Klee taught at the Bauhaus from January 1921 to April 1931. He was a "Form" master in the bookbinding, stained glass, and mural painting workshops and was provided with two studios. In 1922, Kandinsky joined the staff and resumed his friendship with Klee. Later that year the first Bauhaus exhibition and festival was held, for which Klee created several of the advertising materials. Klee welcomed that there were many conflicting theories and opinions within the Bauhaus: "I also approve of these forces competing one with the other if the result is achievement." Klee was at the peak of his creative output. His Ad Parnassum (1932) is considered his masterpiece and the best example of his pointillist style; it is also one of his largest, most finely worked paintings. He produced nearly 500 works in 1933 during his last year in Germany. However, in 1933, Klee began experiencing the symptoms of what was diagnosed as scleroderma after his death. The progression of his fatal disease, which made swallowing very difficult, can be followed through the art he created in his last years. His output in 1936 was only 25 pictures. In the later 1930s, his health recovered somewhat and he was encouraged by a visit from Kandinsky and Picasso. Klee's simpler and larger designs enabled him to keep up his output in his final years, and in 1939 he created over 1,200 works, a career high for one year. He used heavier lines and mainly geometric forms with fewer but larger blocks of color. His varied color palettes, some with bright colors and others somber, perhaps reflected his alternating moods of optimism and pessimism. Back in Germany in 1937, seventeen of Klee's pictures were included in an exhibition of "Degenerate art" and 102 of his works in public collections were seized by the Nazis. Eric Robertson Scottish painter, was born in 1887 and died in 1941.
Robertson was one of the most giffed student when comes to art. Robertson was influence by John darcan, pre Raphaelites and the french symbolist painter Gustane Moreau. Robertson was futures in several groups shows form 1912 to 1914 which led to the formation of the Edinburgh group in 1919. Darning the war he began to paint more landscape, yet it is his nude figure composition that scandalised Edinburgh society. In 1923, following the failure of his marriage he moved to Liverpool and by the early 1930s, he was largely forgotten as a painter. Vienna The art nouveau movement blossomed in Vienna at the turn of the 20th century with influential Austrians architects Otto wager and Adolfloos making significant architectural contribution that helped shape the city sky line as we see it today. The architecture designs are plant based designs with flowers and leaves designs that cover the building with gold and green colours. Glasgow
Glasgow was primed for its own architecture movement. At the time, art nouveau had swept the European continent as the reigning standard in architecture and the decoration arts. Glasgow School of Art Blending art nouveau, Japanese, and traditional Scottish decoration elements, this turn of the century Charles Rennie Mackintosh building put the designer and his Glasgow style on the map. It was nothing the building ornamentation that set it apart, but rather the lack there of.  For me what makes a home different and appealing is a mix of technology and someone traditional background.
Converse started out with making basketball shoes in 1917.
In 1921 Taylor (an American basketball player) joined converse as a salesmen. He gave ideas to the company for improvement to the shoes design, so it could be flexible and have ankle support. Some of the design choices that converse made wasn't for aesthetic reasons but more for health and support for basketball players. One of the key designs that converse made was the circular patch that is stitch on the said, it was designed to protect the ankles from any impact while playing basketball. In 1949 converse designed a black canvas shoe with a whit toe guard, in 1957 converse reviled the low cut oxford style version of the all star shoes. for the high cut shoe design it featured the ankle patch all star but for the low cut shoe it include a glued all star logo on the back of the shoe with and for the first time a converse patch above it. By the 1970 converse shoes declined in popularity, more and more basketball players started wearing other brands of shoes. Converse then came back in popularity in the 1980 as a retro style casual footwear. Converse have played a role in several subculture like art, film and tv and sports as well, which converse has been promoting as a part of the ongoing popularity that they are maintaining. For me converse are an everyday shoes that i can wear easily, it goes with everything i wear and it looks good as well. |
