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.

This illustration is by Audubon who was a French-American ornithologist, naturalist and illustrative painter 1785-1851. I really like the accuracy of his work and the compositional quality of how the heron is placed within the picture.

I’m really not sure what this logo is advertising but I am sure how much I love the graphic of the lion, the color palette and the bold lettering. The round format also appeals to me.

Typography

There’s just something about a drop shadow in typography that appeals to me. I also am drawn to the vintage font, it’s diagonal movement and bubbly letters.

This Navajo blanket really appeals to me. I love the bilateral symmetry within the design and the bright red elements of color amidst the earth tones. The design has a nice sense of movement with the zig zag motif .

I chose this piece because though it appears as simple as a portrait, in reality, it’s complicated in an artistic way. The brushstrokes makes up the face very nicely.

This painting is by Grant Wood. This painting is one of my favorite fine art paintings out there since it is very iconic. The painting was created so well that from a far glance, it looks like an old photograph.

This advertisement from Nintendo was made in 1985 to promote their first home console. The Nintendo Entertainment System. I love this advertisement solely for the 80's space design. Something about it makes me nostalgic even though I wasn't even born yet for another 19 years. The chrome logo and it being in space was simple yet an affective advertisement.

I found this piece on Reddit. As someone who likes the star wars franchise, this piece really caught my interest. You can see character names and other words that can relate to the star wars franchise. But I love this kind of typography that uses words to draw out one character.

I chose this “textile design” piece because its not your average textile piece, its all made out of denim and patterns; it looks like it was quilted, but it wasn’t which is an interesting take on the piece.

This was a recent discovery of mine that just became an instant favorite. For his last 4 films, director Sean Baker used the same font. Not just for the titles, but for the credits and promotional material. While the films are all completely different, I like how just using the same font connects them. I also love that it wasn't intentional, the first film that did this just chose the font for necessity and it solved a similar need for the next and now it's a signature. Even with slight changes, you know it's the font and you know who it's from.

I love Jorge Gutierrez's work. If you didn't grow up with El Tigre or have seen The Book of Life, I highly recommend them. Not only are they great, but Gutierrez's art style is sick. This is a painting he did for an art show and these words were said to him by a studio exec when he was making Book of Life, a film set during the Mexican holiday, The Day of the Dead. His style is just so unapologetically Mexican. I remember hearing him talking about finding his art style and using his experience and his life as inspiration. I love the colors and how it almost act as a "iykyk". He's making fun of this strange comment he received while also proudly showing the art that he made and is continuing to make without muting his authentic voice.

I clearly like this piece because I'm using it for two different discussions. I love vintage ads, but mostly the style of them. When I was trying to think of a vintage ad I liked, I couldn't pin point one that stood out. I like the overall aesthetic of them, but this one is a favorite of mine. The bright colors make you remember it. I love the contrast between the warm red background and the cool blue. Also I love that they made this book cover look like a movie poster. The book is set in the 50's so the vintage movie poster look fits beautifully. Plus, the added details of the fold lines and scratches. It's the cherry on top.

I admittedly had a hard time thinking of a fine art piece that I like. I'm not too well versed in art, but thankfully I had a postcard of this one on my wall for a bit of inspiration. A few years ago I flew to San Diego to visit some friends for the first time and the first thing we did was go to the museums in Balboa Park and afterwards we got postcards to remember our favorites. This one I liked because of the dress. I loved the details in the sleeves and how the light reflects on the fabric. I think as a sewist (someone who sews, I know the word is weird lol) I think pretty clothing just speak to me. Now I see this piece everyday and am reminded not just of that trip, but of this pretty portrait.

I love these picture because I love the mysterious and dark fantasy aspect in media. It looks like it’s telling a story about the pictures and I really love that part of it. It’s one of my favorite type of aesthetics. White with a dark background really makes it pop and it’s so cool to me.

2025-02-09 21:20:53 UTC

I selected this for advertising mostly because of the style and flow of it. It’s very much in the artist’s style and the bold colors really draw your attention. It’s also because it looks really cool.

The Birth of Venus by Botticelli

I like how Venus is front and center and all outside movement points inward to draw all attention to her. My older sister loves this painting and I think of her whenever I see it so when I was looking for examples of fine art and came across this one I figured I'd use it. I got to see this panting in Italy when I went with my family last September.

I picked this painting is because I always wanted todo this kind of brushwork. Mixing so many colors together and color combinations is so cool. I like to believe I’m close to this style and I’m also fascinated with religious paintings as well and how they tell the story too. I’m mostly interested in the colors and the brushwork.

"Girl with a Pearl Earring" has captivated me a lot. The way she looks at the viewer and the black background makes her stand out. I used to think she had blonde hair in a ponytail until I realized it was a blue and yellow turban. This painting makes me think there's something mysterious going on. Almost as if she was painted moments before the disaster. I like that it's detailed, stepping back compared to when seen up close.

This illustration I found of a koi pond in a way that makes it appear refreshing and calm. Seeing this makes me realize that a lot of the details in this drawing are done just by color. The ripples, light, grass environment around it, and koi fish coexist well together. What I find successful about this design is that it's well-rounded in showing light, lines, and colors that complement each other.

A vintage milkshake advertisement caught my eye. Pastels in the font and background while showing off their delicious milkshake flavors that pop out. The brown edges worn down through time make it all more appealing. The faint pastel blue stripes in the background make you look down at the product they're trying to sell. And by adding detail to what they look like to make your mouth water.

Personally, I enjoy writing that flows together, especially when illustrations are thrown into the mix. I'm all about using color combinations. In this image, I chose a cool color palette and font that reminds me of the ocean. It shows the moon and Earth as important. This shows facts about our planet. To me, it looks mesmerizing. It gives off spy movie vibes.

A lot of usage of lines on this page. It makes me think of a spider web, the shading and designs make it look real. Almost as if the page is moving. This texture isn't seen at first but if you stare at it long enough, you'll be captivated by the amount of time each line took to be drawn. In other words, this design is flawless because of how easy it is to achieve but rushing will show in its final stages.

This is an concept photo/advertisement for a music video for one of my favorite songs.

The font pairing is also perfect and communicates the release date.

This is a painting by artist Đoàn Nguyên, who calls himself a "madman." He often appears disheveled, dressed in tattered clothes, with long, unkempt hair and paint stains covering both his attire and body. Yet, his paintings embody what he describes as "absolute artistry." I admire both his madness in daily life and his artistic creations, especially this piece, "Đánh Chuông" (Ringing the Bell).

With a one-point perspective and a dominant warm color palette, the harmonious use of tones and shading creates depth and intensity. I can feel the burning energy and sense movement within the painting. Despite its vast space, it conveys the solemn and tranquil atmosphere of the monks as they strike the bell.

I spent 15 minutes looking for an illustration that I truly liked, but none of them felt right or made me want to include them in this assignment.

I like this typography art because it brings balance to the overall composition. The word "The" is displayed in a different font and slightly overlaps the other letters, making it look somewhat disconnected at first, but it actually works well. The color choice isn’t pure white (#0000); instead, it has a slight gray tint, which gives the whole piece a warm feel. It almost feels like my significant other and I are sitting inside the artwork itself.

This is Mars and Venus, Allegory Of Peace by Louis Jean François Lagrenée. I like this painting because I done in my art history class last semester and I like the the symbolism that they use to show that loves combats war as Venus is the Roman goddess of love while Mars is the Roman god of war with his sword and shield are laid on the floor while doves are coming together into a small nest as it shows both Venus and Mars are at peace with each other. what I found interesting is that it shows Mars in a different light has he is know to be a warrior and a symbol of war while in this painting his defiance is lowered and he's relax after a night with Venus.

Water Lilies is one of my favorite Monet paintings and even just impressionist paintings in general. I even have a poster of it in my room. I love the colors used to portray the water and shadows, and how the hues are muted but it doesn't look dark or muddy. This piece makes me feel peaceful when i look at it, as does the rest of Monet's art. Another 19th century artist, Renoir, comes to mind as I also enjoy his works.

This piece resonates with me on a deeper level than other works of fine art for a few reasons. Firstly, most artists paint beauty in the world, but this piece really invokes tragedy and horror, which is impressive. Secondly the mastery of the background is astounding, the way the wall gets subtly out of focus gives it a sense of realism and location.

This illustration gives me a sense of wonder and awe that I often get after hiking to a good view. The ability to tell a story without a single character and sky setting is impressive. Someday I hope to be able to draw as well as this, so looking at this piece inspires me. Additionally the way the hue of this piece is more on the cool side despite the sun lighting the piece gives a feeling of early morning, providing more to the setting of this illustration.

I like this sunset in this picture, it has all the colors like yellow, red, and orange. I often think that sunsets are stunning to see even if there were clouds around.

While I love the traditional Art Nouveau illustration style of tarot decks, the artists take on the the tarot is so cool.

I had such a hard time picking a textile I like. I think it's because I sew and I'm used to seeing textiles as materials and not as the art itself. I also had to separate the art from the practice. Finally I went back to the drawing board (Pinterest) and found this beautiful piece. I will always appreciate bead embroidery because I don't have the patience for it and I also live how they were able to mimic blood drips on the veil. I tend to be very nitpicky with my art so I struggle to make things look organic and that organic nature of the "blood" is what really catches my eye. Also, who doesn't love a bit of sparkle.

This is the book cover of "The Age of Skin," a book that I haven't read, but it easily caught my attention. The first thing that grabs me is the textured, almost tactile quality of the letters. It makes me want to reach out and touch it. The use of fingerprint-like letterforms is unexpected and creates a unique visual.

I've always loved the Mazatec embroidery, one of the many types of traditional Mexican embroidery. It has the characteristic of making the background fabrics with embroidered designs in black, light blue, or red. Normally, the figures tend to be birds, flowers, rabbits, and trees with many leaves in darned, feathered, and relief stitches.

Francisco Goya was the first artist that came to mind when thinking about fine art, his paintings showcase a variety of methods that create incredible artwork. His artwork has an incredible amount of range too, from portraits to occultish pieces he uses the same methods to create vastly different pieces. May of his paintings have a really noticeable use of contrast and depth, he puts a lot of focus on even the smaller background details.

This illustration was included in the comic book series (turned Netflix show) The Umbrella Academy. I had first seen this piece in probably around middle school and since then have used it as much of my inspiration in the years following. I think this illustration stands out for a few reasons, one of which being that it perfectly captures the essence of the storyline and the darkness and emotion perfectly match the energy of the scene being shown.

The artwork I've chosen is called "The Sala della Pace" created by Ambrogio Lorenzetti (1338-1339). This is one of my favorite artworks I've seen because of the many details added like the texture of the buildings and how there's different colors to each building. Especially to add in the many people and animals to the painting. The values make it so much better as well as they're placed inside the windows and on the edge of them to make the whole painting stick out. It's just beautiful work.

My favorite digital illustrator is Charlie Davis, picking just one illustration was hard, but I think this piece showcases his style. His use of simplified forms and clean, geometric shapes lends a structured feel to the composition, while the soft, grainy textures provide warmth. One of the hallmarks of Davis' style is his masterful use of color palettes, often leaning into muted, complementary tones that bring harmony and balance to the image.

This illustration is called "The Casserole" by Victo Ngai (2013). In this illustration we can see plenty of birds flying by a few people one looking out to the sea and the other inside their car. What I love about this illustration is that the colors and values really nail the ocean view feeling and gives you the sense that you're somewhere at the beach. The most prominent features is the lighting to give this illustration depth

This is my favorite advertisement as it brings back many memories of my brother owning and letting me play his xbox 360. What I love about this advertisement specifically is how futuristic looking it looks, back in the early 2010s the future was something to be excited for and this ad is proof at how magical advertisements wanted to be then.

This typography is my favorite mainly due to how I always try my best to achieve my goals whether it's art or just something else and I rely my completion of the work to show off how I'm trying to push myself forward. There's so much I want to do behind the scenes and I'm hoping everything pays off.

This textile design was created back in 1878 and what I love about this design is that it reminds me of how my home has a rug that contains this type of textile pattern and was glad I can find one that sort of matches it. What I also love about this textile design it has beautiful flower/leaf shapes which adds in that beauty and nature feeling.

This art piece was made in 1781, it's an oil painting that was created by a man named Henry Fuseli. The name of this art piece is The Nightmare. Reason why I chose this was because I really like paintings/drawings that are more on the darker side, color wise. Black, Grey, and White are my favorite colors (lame i know) but I just really liked the way that this piece shows a "nightmare." I'm not sure how to put it into words to be honest.

This illustration was made by John Atkinson Grimshaw in 1878, this artwork is a supposed embodiment of death and of the supernatural, recurring themes in Gothic fiction. Despite it's theme, I think it is a beautiful piece.

I'm not really sure who was the person that made this advertisement, but this was a supposed ad in the Victorian era for cigares that cured asthma. To be honest I just liked the style it was drawn and the vintage look so that's why I picked this.

I picked this illustration because of the colors and simplicity of the piece. I think these two factors speak to what the artist is trying to portray. Something I enjoy about art is the idea of being able to portray feelings, ideas, or a message. I think this piece does just that.

I'm drawn to this ad because of the way the colors and fonts complement each other. The different sizes, styles, and colors of the fonts flow together.

I chose this piece by George Henry because of the contrast created with the dark colors. I love how the brightness and color used for the moon caught my eye right away. Although the first thing I noticed was the moon, the painting seems like it flows from left to right.

I chose this restaurant advertisement from 1955. Overall, I love advertisements from the 50's and 60's. The colors and illustrations alongside the text always catch my eye right away.

I chose this ad for typography because I like how the different sizes, colors, and styles of fonts are being used and flow together. I've done a bit of typography and I've been too scared to mix fonts and sizes, this advertisement speaks to me about not being afraid of mixing these components.

I like this painting because of the way it uses negative space to help set the tone for the painting. What also stood out to me was the texture of the skeleton that gives the art piece a unique style.

I really like the art style of this illustration because how rough and dirty it looks. The shading and the overall high level of detail makes this illustration very visually pleasing to me.

Concert or tour advertisements are probably my favorite type of advertisements mainly because they always implement typography differently. In this advertisement in particular, I found the colors and arrangement dates and images to look pleasing.

I prefer simple typefaces rather than those that are more expressive. Even if the font looks generic it can still get the job done and I thought this image was able appeal to me through use of a simple looking font and nice arrangement.

I chose this Turkish textile because of the intricate patterns in the center and along the border. The colors are bright and really captured my attention. I also like how the design in the center isn't the only eye catching part of the entire carpet, as the designs surrounding it are pretty notable as well.

For the Fine Arts, I chose Louis Wain. It was a really hard pick between him and Frida Kahlo (who I used in a different class). I really love Louis Wain and his psychedelic cats, the amount of colors, patterns and shapes makes his work really interesting and keeps your eyes wandering.

For illustration I chose Mexican illustrator and printmaker Jose Guadalupe Posada. Mexico is a big part of my identity and Jose is a great inspiration, I chose his illustration because he had a unique style and would use his art politically and comedically. Personally I just really like the way he uses line and his style feels somewhat natural but in a cartoony way.

For advertisement I chose the 2000s I-pod commercials. I really like these commercials not because they were pretty simple but because they had a kind of character. These commercials fall into the “Frutiger Metro” aesthetic which is probably one of my favorites to see. I really like the style of older commercials and I really miss the creativity behind them.

I love embroidery, so I chose it for textiles. Although I don’t do embroidery myself I love seeing the process and the finished product. Going back to Mexico, my favorite kind of embroidery is the kind you find on clothing and other materials from Jalisco. The feeling of the different flowers, vines and leaves and even just looking at the piece is really satisfying. The level of detail is also really impressive.

For typography I chose one of my favorite bands called Nastyona, they were a South Korean indie rock band from the late 90s and early 2000s. I really like their album covers but that's for a different time. I love the font that they have for their name, I love fonts that are sharp but not too chaotic and can still be legible like some metal bands. The Lines are really smooth in contrast to the sharp edges.

As much as I hate DHL (super slow shipping times) I chose this advertisement because it brings a very unique emotion into art, Comedy! Not really seen outside of comics, comedy can sometimes really grab the viewer, While it is more of a collage than anything else I think the bright yellow background keeps the mood light, whilst also drawing in your attention!

2025-05-09 11:23:24 UTC

I chose this piece for typography because of the sheer amount of different languages expressed in this piece. while not all of them are real life languages, the text crowding the screen is a very unique choice that contributes to the theme of the piece. Despite the sporadic nature of the speech bubbles A.Shipwright has every different text lined up in the center of the bubble and each line of text maintains an impressive horizontal and vertical level.

2025-05-09 11:26:09 UTC

I chose this tartan as my Textile Design because it really captures how simplicity and complexity can combine into a perfect balance. While a simple texture from afar, upon close inspection each thread is woven with threads of differing colors to make a color that looks blended from afar. The overlapping of the pattern makes this textile timeless and I've seen this exact pattern on many different pieces of clothing.
