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. ]]> 2021-01-30 01:34:56 UTC https://padlet.com/michellegregor/i25wl5gyh0utl1w3/wish/1142877756 michellegregor https://padlet.com/michellegregor/i25wl5gyh0utl1w3/wish/2683750397 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.]]> 2023-09-04 20:08:51 UTC https://padlet.com/michellegregor/i25wl5gyh0utl1w3/wish/2683750397 michellegregor https://padlet.com/michellegregor/i25wl5gyh0utl1w3/wish/2683750834 2023-09-04 20:09:39 UTC https://padlet.com/michellegregor/i25wl5gyh0utl1w3/wish/2683750834 michellegregor https://padlet.com/michellegregor/i25wl5gyh0utl1w3/wish/2683750923 2023-09-04 20:09:48 UTC https://padlet.com/michellegregor/i25wl5gyh0utl1w3/wish/2683750923 michellegregor https://padlet.com/michellegregor/i25wl5gyh0utl1w3/wish/2683751232 There’s just something about a drop shadow in typography that appeals to me.

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. ]]> 2023-09-07 16:12:32 UTC https://padlet.com/michellegregor/i25wl5gyh0utl1w3/wish/2689132862 https://padlet.com/michellegregor/i25wl5gyh0utl1w3/wish/2689165891 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.]]> 2023-09-07 16:36:27 UTC https://padlet.com/michellegregor/i25wl5gyh0utl1w3/wish/2689165891 https://padlet.com/michellegregor/i25wl5gyh0utl1w3/wish/2689271565 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. ]]> 2023-09-07 17:51:08 UTC https://padlet.com/michellegregor/i25wl5gyh0utl1w3/wish/2689271565 https://padlet.com/michellegregor/i25wl5gyh0utl1w3/wish/2689290741 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. ]]> 2023-09-07 18:04:05 UTC https://padlet.com/michellegregor/i25wl5gyh0utl1w3/wish/2689290741 https://padlet.com/michellegregor/i25wl5gyh0utl1w3/wish/2689299401 My favorite textile is floral print.

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. ]]> 2023-09-08 20:19:50 UTC https://padlet.com/michellegregor/i25wl5gyh0utl1w3/wish/2691236282 https://padlet.com/michellegregor/i25wl5gyh0utl1w3/wish/2691240749 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. ]]> 2023-09-08 20:26:56 UTC https://padlet.com/michellegregor/i25wl5gyh0utl1w3/wish/2691240749 https://padlet.com/michellegregor/i25wl5gyh0utl1w3/wish/2691246169 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. ]]> 2023-09-08 20:35:06 UTC https://padlet.com/michellegregor/i25wl5gyh0utl1w3/wish/2691246169 https://padlet.com/michellegregor/i25wl5gyh0utl1w3/wish/2691250700 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. ]]> 2023-09-08 20:42:16 UTC https://padlet.com/michellegregor/i25wl5gyh0utl1w3/wish/2691250700 https://padlet.com/michellegregor/i25wl5gyh0utl1w3/wish/2691254280 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.]]> 2023-09-08 20:47:44 UTC https://padlet.com/michellegregor/i25wl5gyh0utl1w3/wish/2691254280 https://padlet.com/michellegregor/i25wl5gyh0utl1w3/wish/2691446900 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. ]]> 2023-09-09 05:53:29 UTC https://padlet.com/michellegregor/i25wl5gyh0utl1w3/wish/2691446900 https://padlet.com/michellegregor/i25wl5gyh0utl1w3/wish/2691453068 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. ]]> 2023-09-09 06:14:14 UTC https://padlet.com/michellegregor/i25wl5gyh0utl1w3/wish/2691453068 https://padlet.com/michellegregor/i25wl5gyh0utl1w3/wish/2691491519 This painting is by Claude Monet.

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. ]]> 2023-09-09 20:44:06 UTC https://padlet.com/michellegregor/i25wl5gyh0utl1w3/wish/2691831491 salasadriano2 https://padlet.com/michellegregor/i25wl5gyh0utl1w3/wish/2691833076 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.

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.

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.

(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. ]]> 2023-09-10 23:03:01 UTC https://padlet.com/michellegregor/i25wl5gyh0utl1w3/wish/2692494915 https://padlet.com/michellegregor/i25wl5gyh0utl1w3/wish/2692495538 I have always had a love for nature and scenic art, and this piece captures both categories well.

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.

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.

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.

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.

So I try my best to read out what the spell out and really familiarize myself with what's said. Also just like the various inventive and humorous ways the people make the letters. The E punching with both hands or one person stretching hard to make a D just adds to the charm of it. ]]> 2023-09-11 06:13:30 UTC https://padlet.com/michellegregor/i25wl5gyh0utl1w3/wish/2695311412 https://padlet.com/michellegregor/i25wl5gyh0utl1w3/wish/2695389331 I have followed Artem Solop on Instagram for a few years now and to this day he continues to inspire me.

You can look it in multiple different ways depending on how you mess with your eyes. Seeing the circles intersecting with each other. Or it can be see as several different circles layered on top of one another. It plays tricks with your eyes with the pattern show and it's just fun to see how else you can view it. ]]> 2023-09-11 06:25:43 UTC https://padlet.com/michellegregor/i25wl5gyh0utl1w3/wish/2695396864 https://padlet.com/michellegregor/i25wl5gyh0utl1w3/wish/2695406231 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. ]]> 2023-09-11 06:30:27 UTC https://padlet.com/michellegregor/i25wl5gyh0utl1w3/wish/2695406231 https://padlet.com/michellegregor/i25wl5gyh0utl1w3/wish/2695412356 I found this design to be successful because of its eye-catching visuals. I would describe the typography as clean but also messy. I imagine this lettering to be inspired by ink drops or the Rorschach inkblot test. The letter “Q” is intriguing because I don’t find myself recognizing the letter outside of its context, (it’s suggested).]]> 2023-09-11 06:34:21 UTC https://padlet.com/michellegregor/i25wl5gyh0utl1w3/wish/2695412356 https://padlet.com/michellegregor/i25wl5gyh0utl1w3/wish/2695414972 Ema Shin has created a design that at first I didn’t realize was woven cotton/wool or if it was considered a “Textile design”.  Ema explains that she uses textiles and print techniques to create artworks about the relationship between human forms and living organisms. What made me choose this design was the absence of a rectangular or square border. This is an organic piece (no pun intended) that displays a bigger picture of the world of textile design and that is why I find this to be a successful piece.

The soft colors give the painting and Madame du Berry a dreamy look. This is an oil painting which gives it a very smooth look.

But then I saw a post on Instagram which included this painting and it also had one of those optical illusions where if you stare at the center for like 10 or 20 seconds and then look away, everything becomes disoriented (if that's even the right word, that's the best way I could describe it).

Alex Ross is one of my favorite visual artists because he makes fictional characters (Mostly DC and Marvel) look hyper realistic. But out of all the illustrations he has done, this one of Alfred is my favorite. Mainly because of the emotion shown on Alfred's face as he's holding Batman's cowl and how the lighting is structured in this piece.

I put this here because this was one of Coke's most successful marketing campaigns ever. While we see Christmas advertisements all the time from many companies, starting in the 1930s, Coke really took advantage of Christmas advertising as before this, barely anyone drank soft drinks during the winter. So Coke started showing ads that showed Santa drinking Coca-Cola, to essentially show people that even this guy can drink Coca-Cola during Christmas time.

I also love the whole color palette they used in this painting.]]> 2023-10-03 22:46:44 UTC https://padlet.com/michellegregor/i25wl5gyh0utl1w3/wish/2731008225 https://padlet.com/michellegregor/i25wl5gyh0utl1w3/wish/2731009091 This picture has a more deeper meaning then just the holding of two hands. When you read it it shows the connection of one person feeling hopeless and the guidance and positivity of the other person telling them they are here for them. A lot of the time just hearing someones tell us that they will be here for us is very powerful.]]> 2023-10-03 22:48:13 UTC https://padlet.com/michellegregor/i25wl5gyh0utl1w3/wish/2731009091 https://padlet.com/michellegregor/i25wl5gyh0utl1w3/wish/2731009620 Another amazing sunset and use of colors throughout this picture.

I like that there’s a lot of space in this composition for interpretation. ]]> 2025-02-03 04:56:44 UTC https://padlet.com/michellegregor/i25wl5gyh0utl1w3/wish/3313090017
