Practical Task 5 (My Skateboard Design In the style of Takashi Murakami)

# data[].attributes.body
Takashi Murakami is the founder of the "Superflat" creative movement. In 2001, during an exhibition he arranged in Tokyo tracing the origins of Japanese contemporary art through the history of Japanese traditional art, he coined the term. This creative trend encompasses manga and anime-inspired Japanese art. There is a word "flat" in the word Superflat that refers to the flatness of Japanese visual art. Indeed, Japanese art has always been very two-dimensional and hasn't known about perspective for millennia. Superflat also attacks consumerist Japanese postwar culture for its emptiness.

Takashi Murakami's iconic figure, Mr. Dob, first appeared in 1992. It was created at a time when artists like as Barbara Kruger and Jenny Holzer were being brought to Japan, and it was used as a kind of self-portrait. These artists' work is heavily reliant on words. Murakami will be influenced by their message of distributing artworks. Mr. Dob has a round head with two ears, similar to Mickey Mouse, with the letter D on the left ear and the letter b on the right ear. Dob is an abbreviation of "dobojite, dobojite," a Dada-like term that means "why, why?" Murakami aspired to create an emblem with this one-of-a-kind alter-ego that was both authentically Japanese and universally appealing.

Despite the fact that Japanese artist Takashi Murakami is recognised for his vivid and visually contemporary work, he offers us a more subtle perspective and a smart juxtaposition of heritage and modernity in this piece. On a technical level, he employs cutting-edge artistic mediums and materials while also reviving traditional Japanese artistic traditions such as gold leaf painting. On a more figurative level, he creates a vibrant, almost psychedelic universe in which Buddhist iconography and anime heroes coexist on the canvas. There are also hints of both classic and modern allusions, such as Ogata Korîn and Stanley Kubrick.

Despite the seeming hallucinogenic openness in Murakami's work, he urges us to read between the lines and delivers a solid graphic reflection. We see three stages of comprehension. First level of comprehension: otaku, or extreme anime fans, who inspire Takashi mainly with superficiality and emptiness. Through a graphic work of caricature and distortion, this fanatic lunacy is amplified and humiliated. The influence of consumerist culture and its products on our personality and conduct is the second level of comprehension. Third degree of comprehension: the artist achieves an intriguing syncretism between "high culture" and "popular" culture: a syncretism that raises the question of the legitimacy of this distinction, a topic that is now being disputed in the art world.

'Patty Mills' by Timothy Mitchell, 2022 - A3 digital illustration

In this artwork, it is obvious to see a smiling Patrick Sammy Mills (an Australian-Aboriginal professional basketball player for the Brooklyn Nets), manipulated into a digital illustration portrait. This image, after a dense amount of research, is a screen grab moment captured by an interview from 7News after his NBA team won the grand final, as we can tell from his happy face expression. This digital portrait is a very vibrant image, curtesy of the three coloured circles in the background to represent the Aboriginal flag, and the use of clever lines on his face to show the shading on his face creates a length of depth to the image, almost making the viewer to believe its a 3d image. Also, the detail on Mills' bandana shows the bubbly personality he brings in his aurora. Though the circles in the background are very bright on the paper, it adds character and a contrast to his face overall, enough for the viewer to see a balance of the main focal point but also his personal background. We can interpret that this artist is trying to convey that no one in the world is perfect, even the famous celebrities that we look up to; and we know this through the imbalance (side profile, off guard screen grab and crooked circles) of the image since it creates a sense of realism to the illustration. Though this artist is young, his true meaning of the illustration may not be about showing that no-one is perfect, but instead that this artist may be Aboriginal himself, hence creating this artwork to demonstrate how his childhood personalities are representing the indigenous communities.

'Abduction' by Quinn Kacic-Midson, 2022 - A4 digital manipulation

We can clearly see a photographed image of Hobart's Wrest point casino, photoshopped into a form of a UFO, destroying the rest of the architectural building; portraying a sci-fi and imaginative genre. The use of monotone shades across the image creates a gateway for the viewers imagination to run wild, and allows the viewer to stay engaged and create their own story as the repetition of the floor levels of the building continues to be lifted, especially since the building sits in the foreground contrasting from the surroundings. This image is, also, engaging due to the design of the artwork: since the bottom left rule of third being dark shaded and the UFO and floor levels ever so slowly creeping away from the bottom left corner of the page. After analysing this art piece we can interpret that this shares a message through a childs imagination, stating that (even though we get older) we should all have a little magic in our lives. This is evidentially backed up because the use of the specific building. This Wrest Point Casino has limitations to the people who can access it (people who are 18+) which proves the interpretation, as it is linking a magical genre into an adult environment. Overall, I really support this artworks message because when we get older we don't have time to ourselves anymore and are always stressed out about the real world problems and struggles, so allowing time to vent about feelings through fun times and imagination gives us an escape from the world and allow our subconscious to run wild.

From using the program myself, I believe, this artist has used Adobe Illustrator to create this piece of art, since you can see the layers of solid colours to trick us into seeing humans. The most common way of designing this art style is the use to the 'pen' and 'trace' tool.

The primary ensemble is depicted in powerful and commanding stances, implying that the film would be action-packed and exciting. The cast names at the top play an important role in attracting viewers to this poster. All of the performers named are well-known Hollywood actors, with whom most, if not all, are familiar. All of the characters portrayed by the actors are, for the most part, deeply rooted in popular culture. As a result, the majority of people have a basic grasp of the characters and can consequently emote to them to varied degrees. A city under siege can be seen in the backdrop. This relates to how the characters in the poster are positioned and posed. This adds to the excitement of the film; at the bottom of the poster, information on various methods to view and enjoy the film is provided, providing the audience an option.

This poster was chosen since it was the most successful sci-fi film of 2014. While it's in the classic Marvel format, with the heroes in the foreground and events from the film in the background, I may draw inspiration from the main elements present. These include: clearly depicted beginnings, titles that are easily understandable and clear, movie studio features, and star names. Furthermore, the slogan for this film is not a quotation that sums up the film, but rather a reference to another successful film, the Avengers. This was done since the movie's concept was not totally popular, but the Avengers were, so it was exploited to sell the film.

Asymmetrical balance at work can be seen in the shot above. There is no identical image at the top, and the hand and doughnut are at the bottom of the image! The amount of negative space in the photo creates a sense of equilibrium. The shot maintains its balance by confining the emphasised image to a limited portion of the image.

All of the black surrounding the principal image and the other copy on the Jurassic Park poster is a textbook example of negative space. Negative space can be difficult for designers to work with since it appears to be empty, yet it really aids in the creation of emphasis. It allows visitors to easily recognise what's vital while still allowing the design to breathe. Positive and negative space combine to generate visual attractiveness and emphasis. Check out graphic designer Jonathan Mak's piece above, which he created as a monument to Steve Jobs after his passing. He manipulates the Apple logo's negative space, transforming the conventional bite mark into a profile of the company's late founder.

Including movement in your design process has another advantage: it makes viewers feel more connected to what they're viewing. Vincent Van Gogh's painting Starry Night is a great example of movement in action. The swirls of colour in the sky in this picture sweep the viewer's eyes from left to right, giving the impression of being caught in a night breeze. Van Gogh's brush strokes, on the other hand, produce movement on a mechanical level. The sweeping lines on the mountains, for example, guide your sight to the settlement, while the vertical lines on the foreground plant return your gaze to the sky.

Patterns can help a design in a variety of ways. If the background has a 70s mod pattern or a recurrent picture, such as an animal, it can set the tone for the piece. Other design aspects, such as contrast or emphasis, can be set off by a pattern. The star pattern combines with contrast in the image above to produce a patriotic star, which becomes the advertisement's focal point.

Artist: Leonardo da Vinci (Jun. 11th 1993)
The Jurassic Park movie poster is an excellent illustration of emphasis. It puts the most crucial information in the forefront: you can tell the movie's title and release date just by looking at it. The conspicuous shape of a skeleton, on the other hand, gives you a pretty decent indication of what the film will be about. It's vital to remember that emphasis is linked to other design elements. The Jurassic Park poster, for example, emphasises contrast and space.

Take a look at Ginevra de' Benci, a painting by Leonardo da Vinci. The woman's skin stands out against the dark background of the trees. Da Vinci employs contrast to bring your attention to the woman's face, which he views to be the most significant component of the painting.

In general, holiday season promotions can be utilised to reactivate existing customers or customer interactions, as well as convert one-time buyers into repeat consumers. Brands utilise seasonal promotions to market special offers, discounts, or limited-edition items connected to a specific occasion during the year. By altering the appearance of a brand to suit the yearly event, the major benefit of these promotional marketing methods is to attract attention to your business at an opportune time and raise income in an otherwise quiet season.

Inspired by multiple negative space logos around the internet, my favourite concepts are the creations that are quite literal with their intention of logos. Even though the simplistic black and white logo, the main idea of what the brand represents is straight to the point.
