Icons of pop

                                       

For my design I used the threshold tool to create the black and white effect linking to my theme of Banksy. I then used the Posterize tool to make it look pixelated along side the Noise tool.

I then used the font tool and placed the font on a red rectangle in the style of Barbra Kruger.

Inspiring Artists- Barbara Kruger.

I like this image because it's really stands out, the artist has chosen to cover Hitler's eyes as eye contact has a more intense effect. It's as if the artist thinks if Hitler looks into your eyes he can see your mind and control and manipulate you. Which links to the words she has written, the red background could be a connotation for danger. It's also very bright against the black and white background adding impact.

Inspiring Artists- Banksy

This piece of work is inspiring because it goes against stereotypical views, this piece of art is making a statement that anyone no matter what profession, gender or race can be homosexual.  The colours used are black and white which could be a connotation for right and wrong as homosexuality is seen to be a very "black and white" subject... People either agree or disagree with it. Also it stands out and goes with the theme of policeman's uniform.

Final Logo Design.

I then picked the logo which I thought was the strongest, then I began to manipulate it. I used the 'Slice Tool' to cut the rectangle making the rectangle have curved edges on one side and straight on the other. Giving it a dynamic look. I then used the 'Direct Selection Tool' to select the 'I' and colour it white, I then used it again to change the background shape from pink to white. I then used the 'Direct Selection Tool' to drag the 'I' down so it was the same height as the top font of the logo, so the 'I' was overlapped by 'of pop'. This is my final design for 'Icons of Pop'. I think the logo is strong and appealing, the overall feel of the logo is cool, dynamic and edgy.

Colouring The Logo's.

Then also in Adobe Illustrator CS6  I dragged the fonts into a new document creating it by using the new document shortcut again 'Apple' and 'N'. Then grouped the fonts selecting them by using the 'Direction Selection Tool' then 'Shift' and 'G'. Then copying the fonts by using 'Apple' and 'C' and pasting them using 'Apple' and 'V'. I developed the fonts using colour, by using the Direct Selection Tool and then using the Swatch Tool. I created the coloured rectangles by using the Rectangle Tool, and colouring it using the Direction Selection Tool and using swatches to colour them.

Furthermore on Adobe Illustrator CS6 we created a new page using the keyboard shortcut 'Apple' and 'N'. We then selected certain parts of the fonts by highlighting the word we intended to use and copying it using 'Apple' and 'C' and pasting it onto the new document using 'Apple' and 'V', then dragging the font by using the Direct Selection Tool.

This lesson using Adobe Illustrator CS6 we wrote 'Icons of Pop' using the text tool to type different fonts that we thought were interesting.
