There is a lot of imagery and ideas out there in the world and I don't want to comment or write paragraphs on everything. Instead, making one post looking at multiple things seems like a good idea, and sticking on a name with alliteration in the title onto it.
Similarly, he has this piece called Forest made in 1954 and it echoes that same feeling of pattern and build up. This time the characters/ words mimic those of trees and build up this forest. Cute and effective concept.
For this next point, I want to talk about Ryan McGinness' work more generally. His work seems to focus a lot on structure, colour and form and overall it works appealingly. The organic shapes and loose and seem to be moving, whilst at the same time have the structure of geometric shapes (they're like geometric shapes with curves). In the example above, they all come together and build this block, almost like a box, of wiggling shapes - some imitating those of recognisable things e.g. a face.
The final piece for today is Relax by Anette Lenz. I'm not too sure what's going on in this piece, but I like they way they have played with the text, having it read it different directions and angles. It's not that its just turned 90 degrees, there's a perspective to it all, which is unknown to me. Similar to the Evil – Live piece, it brings another element.
The first thing I want to look at is 'Evil – Live' by Ralph Schraviogel, who is a Swiss Graphic Designer (and someone I might talk about again on this blog). I can't remember where I found this or what the context is, but to me it was a reminder to think about words. Often ignored or left to that last minute, type and wordplay can be so important. So the way that this reads both evil and live, with no obvious hierarchy, is interesting. They didn't just lay it out flat on the page, they've altered the perspective, making it easier to read. I think with the right exploration, someone could come up with words thatt juxtapose effectively and create some cool design.
This is a piece by Ryuichi Yamashiro and supposedly is an ad for Morisawa Co.? (not sure the accuracy with this fact). Again not knowing the context of the piece, instead I liked the feeling of it. The words are almost collaged on top of one another, building up this massive block of brands and text from the bottom. It is full, busy and lively. Not eccentric in any size, shape or colour, the progressive nature of it is playful and has a sense of movement - or quite the opposite where the stack of them altogether is a block stuck in space and all you can do it just place your sticker on top of that next building (its like a city of corporate buildings).
