Most of her work consists of black-and-white photographs overlaid with declarative captions—in white-on-red Futura Bold Oblique or Helvetica Ultra Condensed.]]> 2017-01-12 11:22:14 UTC https://padlet.com/490120/ookafos0oiod/wish/146743974 490120 https://padlet.com/490120/ookafos0oiod/wish/146744986 What I like about this piece is that she had made a very good point about war, even though we aren't able to see the whole image we can see that he is a soldier by looking at the military uniform he is wearing. Men and women go to war with every intention to fight for their country and also help those whose countries are suffering war like in the two world wars but even though Britain had won both they lost a great sum of people during the fighting. While there would be those celebrating something like VD or VJ day there would be many mourning over the loss of their sons, brothers, fathers, uncles and grandfathers. ]]> 2017-01-12 11:30:26 UTC https://padlet.com/490120/ookafos0oiod/wish/146744986 490120 https://padlet.com/490120/ookafos0oiod/wish/146746230 I think this one was quite clever as it could be used to encourage people to take their eye drops even though they're not keen on them as next to the text there is a black and white image of a woman applying her eye drops to make her eyes work so see would be able to see the future. ]]> 2017-01-12 11:38:07 UTC https://padlet.com/490120/ookafos0oiod/wish/146746230 490120 https://padlet.com/490120/ookafos0oiod/wish/146747098 I like this piece because it makes a very good point about the pressure there is on young people to be 'beautiful' because of the media as it has a image of a girl which is half a photograph and half an edited Photoshop sketch. This is to visually communicate how it seems like no matter what she does she is never 'pretty' enough. ]]> 2017-01-12 11:43:33 UTC https://padlet.com/490120/ookafos0oiod/wish/146747098 490120 https://padlet.com/490120/ookafos0oiod/wish/146748365 Jenny Holzer is an American neo-conceptual artist, based in Hoolsick Falls, New York. The main focus of her work is the delivery of words and ideas in public spaces.]]> 2017-01-12 11:50:44 UTC https://padlet.com/490120/ookafos0oiod/wish/146748365 490120 https://padlet.com/490120/ookafos0oiod/wish/146748759 2017-01-12 11:53:09 UTC https://padlet.com/490120/ookafos0oiod/wish/146748759 490120 https://padlet.com/490120/ookafos0oiod/wish/146749320 2017-01-12 11:56:26 UTC https://padlet.com/490120/ookafos0oiod/wish/146749320 490120 https://padlet.com/490120/ookafos0oiod/wish/146749443 2017-01-12 11:57:02 UTC https://padlet.com/490120/ookafos0oiod/wish/146749443 https://padlet.com/490120/ookafos0oiod/wish/147357551 I found this one a bit more tricky as most of her pictures are of places, unlike Kruger they aren't many people in her work. ]]> 2017-01-16 13:52:23 UTC https://padlet.com/490120/ookafos0oiod/wish/147357551 https://padlet.com/490120/ookafos0oiod/wish/147358606 Though most of it was pretty straight forward, I found it impossible to do Holzer's style lettering as I couldn't get the words to go across like in her picture. ]]> 2017-01-16 13:57:27 UTC https://padlet.com/490120/ookafos0oiod/wish/147358606
