Assignment 3… Chapter 2

Using digital art as a medium is one of the coolest new mediums out there. There are endless possibilities when it comes to this newer medium. I recently got attend a lecture from a guy by the name Ben Fry. He does some really amazing stuff. Check out www.benfry.com. He does this thing called data processing design. You can see his stuff in movies like “The Hulk” and “Minority Report”. He has basically come up with a data processing program you can download off his website and use for your own design work. Here are a couple of examples of his work. projects One of my favorites is Human vs Chimps. http://benfry.com/humansvschimps/ He finds the difference in genes between humans and chimps. Only 9 differences in 75,000 genes.

Assignment4_Ad

I did my ad on a Foot Locker ad. I found this ad in Rolling Stone. There actually trying to sell New Balance shoes. I chose this ad because it caught my attention. It really made me want these pair of shoes. I think this ad is very successful. The use of the white space and the simplicity helps makes it successful. The lines coming in from the top left help guide your eye to the shoe. The eye flows nicely around the image. Color also plays a big role in this ad. Its mainly black and white but there is a little amount of red that helps bring the eye back up to the top right. This red color helps balance the ad too. To me this ad is very successful because of its simplicity.

It is really exciting to see artists such as painters, sculptors, and photographers using their computers to enhance their art. This medium as a tool allows artists to use multiple kinds of manipulation to create their work as well as use multiple mediums. This combination of mediums literally opens the door to endless possibilities for artists and designers such as myself. Now we have digital cameras and scanners. Once the technology for digital imaging began new technologies have been created opening new doors and new realms for artist to explore. These technologies give artists new tools so they can add that extra pizzaz to their work.

Digital imaging in photography and print has really made the communication design field change and life is easier and more efficient. Companies love saving time and money. The computer has taken away the traditional method of graphic design and made it to where you hardly see t-squares and ruby lithe anymore. I enjoyed reading about the idea of traditional ways of creating an image without the use of digital technology and then using a printer to process the image or vise versa, using an image created digitally and then printing it using traditional methods is a fascinating concept. This really puts new ideas and new possibilities in my head. Images in advertising or advertising itself has now taken on a new art form with these kinds of combinations. The computer can manipulate images using overlaying, blending, or even morphing techniques to manipulate an image. Even law enforcement uses these technologies for identifying people and/or alter their facial features.

I found the works of Charles Cohen to be interesting. Just his concept of creating an image and creating a void where absence becomes a presence in his image is a cool idea. Makes me want to put more thought into my work. Reading about these kinds of thought processes begins to turn wheels in my head. It is what makes a successful artist or designer. These thought processes put meaning and understanding into the art and what the artist is trying to say. This technology allows the artist to alternate what is real and create a whole new reality.

I also enjoyed the photographs by Dieter Huber. He takes things from nature and combines analogue and digital technology and applies it to the creation of his work and presents it as a photograph. This also presents new ideas to me. There are now digital sculptors who create work in 3D programs. They exclusively work in a virtual world. I never thought of them as sculptors.

As I have said there are many possibilities opening up to artist and the digital world. Who knows what lays ahead for digital technology. Paper and print might become the past. It is constantly evolving. It can be challenging for designers and artists to keep up with this constantly evolving technology. I know for designers it is especially important to keep up or you get left behind.

self_portrait 9.4.08

So the assignment was to build a self portrait using a program not used for making art. The program I chose to build the project in was OmniOutliner. This program is used to build table data with columns and rows. I used iPhoto to manipulate the images and I captured the image using the Grab feature in the Utilities folder.
