I’d lick an Old Dudes Face Too!
I saw one of the best designs I
have seen in a long time. It’s corky and a great way of showing a good old time.
Kathleen Lourden’s Ad Concepts for Faria
Raji’s class are simply put as brilliant. Sure many people would think pictures
of old people making out and licking icing off each other’s face is strange but
I thought it was bold, in a good way. It takes some guts in order to pull off
something that is normally completely disturbing. If the ad was for any other
product it might be taken negatively. Though I would lick an old mans face for
the frosting on a Krispy Kreme. That’s the point to show this treat as so
desirable that people would go to extremes in order to enjoy it. I really enjoy
that thought process and such a different way from showing people excitement in
such an odd way.
That amazingly trippy photo!
It caught me
way off guard and by it I mean Jason Meadows’ untitled landscape piece. It’s
such a vivid display of color that is shown off so well even looking at just the
color itself the are so beautifully placed in the realms of the composition helping
the eye travel throughout the piece. It’s size is massive for a photo ad works
so well in developing a sense of depth and playing off of fanasties of walking
into it. The composition creates a feel of a center point and helps with the viewer
to feel more into the piece. I looked at it and my first words “What an
amazingly trippy photo!” I was instantly hooked and I stared more and more at
it. The only down side to the piece was its name it would’ve helped give a
sense of how the artist attempting to make us feel. I would’ve love to know
what was going through his mind.
Fondue for two please!
Normally people don’t really think to much
about product design and it’s such a shame too because sometimes certain designs are such beautiful things. Lik Kenneth Tay’s fondue set or even Earle Yuee Seo,
Jacqueline Bae and Hyein Jwa’s set that are so different from one another but
they both are fantastic designs. Tau must be a romantic because he created the
perfect wedding proposal set or romantic night in their tent set. I’m just
saying. Seo ,Bae, and Jwa had more of a cute picnic in the park feel. It wasn’t
the typical romantic set but it was fun for going out with friends and hanging
out with melted cheese. The two pieces
were different but worked really well. Chooses were made for specific reasons and
in order to convey a feel which worked.
The same unoriginal character design
Why? Why
did Dk Lee make the same generic character design that has been through ever
cycle of every popular at the time game. Now don’t get me wrong the piece is
beautifully rendered but when I look at pieces I look for substance and Dk Lee
didn’t put any in it. The typical white pretty boy and the giant animal best
friend routine have been done many times before. Also the pretty, “ruff”, big,
boobed girl as an obvious romantic interest is lame. It’s also been done
before. Other than the stereotype each character follows I don’t remember too
much about them. That’s the problem it didn’t give me inspirational qualities
it should have. For now I’ll continue to not be a fan of his work till he gives
me something to look forward too.
Jimmy Rhum
Jimmy Rhum traveled the United States singing
folk songs on a box crafted guitar. That tale sound believable well even more
so when you look at the beautifully handcrafted piece that Ryan Cho made. It’s
hand painted designs created such a folky feel to the piece that when I read it
belonged to a man by the name of Jimmy Rhum I looked him up. I’ll save you the
search he’s no real he’s a character that Cho created. It was bold to tittle
the piece as an artifact of this Jimmy Rhum creating a whole world and showing
it off. It’s a smart way of tricking people to look up Jimmy Rhum and then
forcing them to see more of his work. Overall it’s thought out really well. I
enjoyed it and would like to see more of Jimmy Rhum.
