This is the umbrella painting by Helen Cottle in 1962 "red umbrella".

I like this painting because the contrast of dark, and light colors.

Juxtaposition of cheerful colors trapped in a porta potty, cemented under dreadful dark colors.

Portrait drawn by Jared Weippert, Anderson , CA

My favorite hometown artist, Jared Weippert, features a one minute clip on his instagram of his process drawing a portrait of an old man using pencil. I was in complete awe of his creative process and was truly inspired by his artistic capabilities and knowledge of shading and proportions. This is the type of artistry I love as I am a portrait photographer and love to capture people in the moment. I can feel the emotion growing within the artist and the man whom he is drawing. I don’t know the connection between the two, or if the man in the drawing is even real, but he certainly feels alive in the end.

In middle school I had a phase where I would draw a bunch of lines on a paper and fill in the spaces with textile designs. My favorites were Zig-Zags, and waves. I love doing this stuff because my brain has to properly fill in empty spaces without repeating the same pattern or color next to itself. It creates something to always look at, observe and analyze. I’ve created a good amount of projects that include textile design. Something about drawing the same things a lot in a small space scratches that itch in my brain.

This painting is by Richard Diebenkorn who is one of my favorite artists. I love the way he uses color and the abstract style of his artwork. I see this painting as a depiction of landscape, seen from above. I like that there’s a lot of space in this composition for interpretation.

‘Raft of Medusa’ oil painting by Théodore Géricault 1818-19

# data[].attributes.body
This fine art, larger-than-life oil painting is one of those paintings that has been stuck in my head ever since learning about it in Art History. The incredible size of this painting, 16ft x 24ft, really captivates me. The detail and the use of darkness with intent to convey the real life depiction of the devastating shipwreck scene where 147 people were left adrift at sea. This style of art is an icon of French Romanticism, opening it’s own pathway of a new generation and style of painting. I love that this painting makes you feel real emotion of sadness and sorrow. I also appreciate how the artist was able to make the viewer feel like they are on the boat, even for a moment.

I feel like Budweiser has been ahead of the game with it’s ever changing logos in the field of beer since before I was born. I don’t personally prefer beer, nor this brand, but I have found myself gravitating to this logo throughout my life, even before I was legally allowed to drink. The use of red, white and blue, making the consumer feel more American for choosing this brand. I find it funny the amount of times it claims to be “the best” “king” “world renowned” and the “worlds largest” as companies can just say what they want to, and it doesn’t have to be entirely true, but because its use of beautifully written typography and everything placed so compositionally pleasing to the eye, we don’t even question it. About a decade ago, I collected this logo by frequenting local yard sales as it would be printed on mirrors and made into neon signs, and was aesthetically pleasing while playing beer pong in the garage.

Bubble letters have always been my go-to typography style. I remember being in grade school and teaching myself bubble letters, and I still use bubble letter art while making my monthly calendar. I also have always been drawn to graffiti art and I love the way this is a mix of graffiti style in bubble letter form. I also love the little added illustration of it dripping paint, plus I enjoy the drop shadow behind it to give it even more character.

This piece displays one of my favorite fine art examples. The original figure in this piece was created by Edvard Munch. This piece used to give me a feeling of discomfort when I was younger. Something about the face in this piece made it so unforgettable. The pastel look really brought this piece to life. I think it's interesting how the sky is more of a sunset and vibrant colors while the lower part of the piece is more dark colors. I've always been someone who loves art with dark colors and that give off a creepy vibe.

# data[].attributes.body
This piece really stood out to me. It uses lots of lines that almost looks as if they could be scribbles. When I look at this piece though, it says a lot more to me than just scribbles. It almost looks as if this a person reaching for help, or someone who is exhausted. Their freakish curved hands give it a dark feel. I like how they didn't try to introduce any colors that were too vibrant as well and stuck to darker shades.

This advertisement for Coca-Cola is very appeasing to the eyes for me. I've always loved vintage advertisements. One of my favorite elements of this one is how simple yet effective the slogan is. I love how they used red to represent stop and green to represent green. It 100% gave more life to the advertisement and made the slogan easier to understand or visualize. I really love the art incorporated into it as well.

As someone who loves poster design and is a Graphic Design major I believe typography to be super important. I love when text surrounds the main idea of the image. I think this image displays a really unique example of typography. I like this because with typograhpy I think it's important to experiment and try different things. There are so many different ways you can display texts.

# data[].attributes.body
Texture is also something I believe to be very important. This is what is considered to be a photocopy/scanline texture. It may look super simple, but it has brought some of my favorite personal designs I've made to life. It could enhance your work and it helps add depth and balance in certain areas of your work. I also always love to play around with different textures.

# data[].attributes.body
I like this illustration because it's very easy to see what's going on, and even has a sense of depth with the way that the darker robot is lined. I think it's not easy to make drawings look like they have motion, but the artist, Yukinobu Tatsu, does scenes like this, and others like it masterfully. I also really like the black and white + screentone aesthetic.

Tenmyouya Hisashi - Japanese Spirit No. 14
I for the most part do not consume fine art particularly often, partly because I don't like that fine artwork is non-reproducible. The ethos that I mostly pursue in my art and design is storytelling, and I want my stories to be as widespread as possible.
That being said, this is a painting by Tenmyouya Hisashi, done in a traditional Japanese painting manner, but of a person riding on top of a cyborg walker thing, with cannons all over it. I like this type of artwork because it subverts normal expectations for a traditional Japanese painting, or perhaps uses current subject matters to make what would be a modern traditional painting.

This painting is by Claude Monet. It shows a lady holding an umbrella, and she is walking with her son. The colors are very bright, and it looks like the sun and wind are all around them. Claude Monet was very good at painting outside scenes like this.

I wanted to put a different artwork here but, this black and white illustration stood out to me because, of how simple but detailed it looks.

This type of typography is something I’ve always been into since I was a little kid. I loved to practice different styles of bubble, block, or linear words. It’s something where it looks good no matter how much you add onto it or however much you don’t. Adding shading, texture, and even color can completely change the typography design to fit whatever project you’re working on.

This art caught my eyes and the artist who made it was Jen Tolman. She has been working for over a year. Her art works are amazing and spectacular about Jesus. When she does her art she said “I’ve kind of always felt this need deep down inside to do spiritual paintings since I can remember”. Seeing this art makes my heart melt seeing this incredible art makes me think that he will always be there for me and everybody.

It was difficult to find an illustration because there were a lot of good ones and amazing art but this one I love so much. The art was gorgeous and this art reminds me of those people who have trouble breathing or they have some problem with a machine mask.

The advertising wasn’t too hard to find because I saw the advertising that I wanted to explain and it was a logo of a bottle of coca-cola. I chose this advertising because I’m so addicted to coca-cola. I wasn’t addicted to coca cola until my aunt who move with us brought bottle of coca-cola and when ever we eat she would often give us some coca cola and since that day I been loving coca-cola so much and that is why I choose coca-cola as my advertising.

The Typography which was made by Angelo Fernandes.  I enjoy it so much. I agree with this message that says “Coffee & Friends makes the perfect blend.” It shows that having coffee with friends or family can have a good bond with the right people.

I chose this beautiful flower textile design because it reminds me of my old carpet that was exactly the same as the textile but my doctor told me that since my allergy can cause my eczema really bad can cause me so much itch and since it can cause a lot of dust in the house so my parents decided to throw it away. I was really upset that I had to throw away my carpet but seeing this textile design, I miss it so much. I also love the flowers.

80s typography is cool because it's retro chic. Contrast to the ultra minimalist, sans-identity, flat letters, and logos trend. I also own a lot of 70's 80's themed shirts of arcades, Tetris, Atari, and arcades with vinyl records. The 80's just explodes with a lot of crazy characters and letters like "NINENDO ENTERTAINMENT SYSYEM, PAC MAN"

In my opinion, Chick-fil-a has one of the best marketing and advertising teams. If anyone were to see this, even without the Chick-fil-a logo, they would immediately know it's an advertisement for Chick-fil-a. Chick-fil-a is consistent with their phrases and fonts which has created large familiarity amongst their audience. Aside from how efficient Chick-fil-a's advertisement is, it's also very creative.

My favorite line of perfumes is Replica by Maison Margiela because not only do they smell phenomenal but they are very aesthetic. What makes the perfume bottles so aesthetic is the flow of the typography used on the bottle. This brand uses multiples fonts and variations on its product. Usually, the use of too many fonts and variations can make a product look cheap or messy. The typography on the product adds to the luxurious feeling Maison Margiela holds.

Francisco Goya is one of my favorite artists of all time, his story fascinates me and especially what his life was like towards the end. He developed an illness and started questioning life and his own sanity. During this he created 14 paintings in the walls of his home called the “black paintings”, this piece is one of the few. I chose it because i love the dark themes and the meaning behind the piece. The contrasting colors and the movement between each of the figures are so captivating as well.

I don’t know if this counts as advertising but when I was little I used to collect safety matches because I adored the art that were on each little box.

It comes as no surprise to me that I fell in love with gothic lettering. (Im starting to suspect a theme amongst these pieces of art.) I think that most of my design choices come from the history behind them, it’s easy to impress me with art once I hear the history, gothic lettering was developed in the 4th century AD to originally translate the bible. I love the sharp edges and smooth lines within each letter. In my opinion Gothic lettering is one of those fonts that you really can’t go wrong with, the more dramatic the better.

I have always had a love for nature and scenic art, and this piece captures both categories well. I'm someone who's big on flowers, so usually floral designs will stand out to me. I love the use of colors in this piece, and how they all come together nicely to create such a beautiful picture.

# data[].attributes.body
With this picture, I love the use of angles, and how sketchy the art looks. When drawing, I, too, tend to make my works with sketchy, unfinished lines. I also love how there is minimal shading in places where it feels like it should be in. It makes the piece feel a lot more realistic to me.

# data[].attributes.body
I like how creative this one is. I would have never thought of using the inside of a Mcdonalds Fries holder as a makeshift moon. It ties well with their message, "open late." They even used a moon inside of the "o" which I really like to. Small details like this really make a piece pop more to me. I also really like the usage of lighting, how it's more illuminated near the moon and darker as you look farther away.

# data[].attributes.body
I really like the different usage of fonts and compositions here. Such works like these help me to think a little more outside the box in order to view my own works in a new, creative light. I love how the color scheme is also just white and black, making this piece look a lot more minimal and fancier, in my opinion.

# data[].attributes.body
As mentioned in an earlier picture, I really love floral designs. With this design, I like how it's overlapped of the leaves and flowers. Nothing clashes with each other and is still very pleasing to the eye. I also love the color palette that's been used. I tend to be drawn more to colors that are soft and neutral like these ones here.

Joseph Mallord William Turner's The Fighting Temeraire shows a once mighty ship that is now old and moved along by a much newer and smaller steamboat, which is shown in the painting by the way The Temeraire is painted as if it were a ghost ship in the background while the steamboat is prominent in the foreground, all of which is shown using mellow colors.

What draws me to this Design is the amount of atmosphere it expresses. The reason why I find this Design to be successful is due to all of the color it conveys. It makes me want to live in this world full of life as the sun beams sunlight upon the very forest or land. The most prominent element in this Design is the colors pink and purple. Both of these colors express warmth and comfort every time I examine this Design.

What I have found successful in this Design is for how it catches the eye. The dominant dark creature expresses dominance towards the smaller characters it is towering over. The thing I like about this Design the most is for how spatial it feels. This is a common theme that I enjoy in art is the amount of space an object or environment conveys. It always resense a strong sense of importance every time I view Designs similar to this one.

I found this design to be successful due to how it glorifies their product. I really enjoy the life and energy this design expresses. It makes me want to go out and buy their product. The most prominent features that they express is the amount of variety of donuts and beverages they offer at their restaurants.

I found this design successful because it is very simple and direct towards the viewer. I like how memorable this design is when it comes to its simplistic design. The text conveys a sense of unity and height as it floats vertically. The illustration is a lively addition to the text as it expresses a feeling of letting loose and partying whenever I look at this design. The most prominent element in this piece is for how wavy the text is which adds another feeling of relaxation.

The reason I find this design to be successful is due to how elegant and unified it feels. Their most prominent feature is the birds themselves. The outlines of these birds are very large and express a strong contrast to the white background draw they are soaring around.

This illustration of the Joker really has this feeling of a long and tiring day. It shows Arthur so tired or even depressed.

This typography of the Joker has different words that creat the joker him self. A lot of the words that are being used for this piece matches with what the joker really is.

Many times I overthink things and that includes art. But even a simple painting of a fruit can make an impact. This is by an illustrator who is also an author of some of my favorite books called "In my Family" and "Family Pictures". The paintings in the books are not complex they are not presented in realism. They are almost cartoon like yet these paintings have been forever treasured in my memory for years.

When I saw the Extra gum commercial with tiny doodles filled with so much emotion it made me feel happy.

This stood out to me for it's very bizarre but inventive imagery. The surrealism makes me wonder what the image is telling me. Is this giant creature raising one of it's fly minions?

When I look at this painting to me it displays a unification between male and female of lower class. It's a painting that explores many subjects.

The imagery here is so eye catching. At a glance it looks like a river, but it's a sea of soup with various toppings scattered throughout.

This illustration by Louis Wain depicts a cat with a lantern and what appears to be worried or drunk cat due to a bottle being on the ground. I love the sketchy look of this illustration. The cat's dread is more potent due to this black and gray illustration. The lines of shading also gives it a rougher look giving the cat more depth. There's different line weight through the piece as well. The most prominent feature through the piece are the lines through line weight and the shading. The lack of colors and sketchiness make it more confusing as the title and the subject don't make it clear as to what is happening leaving it up to interpretation.
