The Art of Fonts

Depending on your product and target audience a skilled graphic designer should be able to grasp both in a creative clever way. This is extremely important, it is the window to your business. The very first thing a consumer may judge your entire business on is the font used in the branding and the graphic design. It must appropriately fit whatever it is you are trying to sell, showcase, represent, or prove.

Famous Self Portaiture

This peice by Jean-Michelle Basquiat was inspired by multiple things,such as artists like Picasso or Pollock, jazz music, and even the herion abuse. Black, being the lack of colour, was used for the strange and quite teriffying figure. Shapes and lines were brilliantely used to create a disturbing portrait. The texture used for the background creates a shady sort of rough, ridged, bumpy background, giving a very upsetting kind of feeling to this particular peice.

After cutting off part of his left ear, wrapping it in newspaper and sending  it to a prostitue named Rachelm, Van Gogh was never seen by  Gauguin, who happened to be the man Vincent had threatened, again. Vincent Van Gogh's extremely well known portrait of himself shows through very monotonious colours the lack of emotion, he seems almost depressed or in a deep state of sadness. Using texture his hat looks fuzzy, while his coat looks wool and thicker. His eyes were painted looking away from the viewer, again showing that sense of distance and lonliness, lack of intimacy.

Space used in art

Giorgio De Chirico, a brilliant artist, truly undertood space and the importance and relevance it had to emotion. From looking at this particular peice I feel drawn towards the two little people off to the left side. Even though they take up such a small portion of the space their presence screams out to me, drawing my eyes towards them and firmly grasping my attention.I get a feeling of lonliness and isolation from these two, and I know that this is because of the space.



THE DUO
Another piece by Giorgio De Chirico. Despite the heart on one of the figure chests you can sense a form of intimacy between the two figures the duo, again not becuase of the heart, but because of the lack of space between the two. Girogio knew space, he knew how tro play with it and get the viewer to feel what he wanted the to feel without even having to use any facila expressions on the figures faces. All he had to do was use space properly and the rest fell into place.
