POSTER #2: "Life is Pain"

As stated below this poster is the first of the 'content' part of my assignment. I wanted to play with text and obtain a psuedo wood cut-effect. I think I pulled it off!!

Web Design: Home Page

This image is the first part of an assignment: the brief was to design a web home page using photoshop. This page has a roll over function that would display pop-up images of further designs, such as posters, book jackets, web design and adverts. Currently this work is in progress and will be displayed here when each component is completed.

Postmodernism: A screencast for the beginner

Anselm Kiefer - Podcast

Anselm Kiefer is regarded as one of the most important and influential artists working today. The exhibition now showing at the Art Gallery of NSW reveals some of the themes that Anselm Kiefer is currently exploring in his studio in France. One of these themes appears as a room dedicated to Palm Sunday, with painting and sculpture, using mixed media such as date palms, thorns, clay and red oxide. The second is a floor piece donated by the artist that represents a heavenly emanation, like a meteor shower that has landed on earth, consisting of slivers of glass each inscribed with the number of an astronomical entity. Anselm Kiefer Showing now: 19 May - 29 July 2007, Level 2 Contemporary Projects Space, Art Gallery NSW.

The main purpose here is to present an overview podcast on Kiefer's achievements.

A Screencast Tutorial: adding action buttons

A screencast is a screen capture of the actions on a user’s computer screen, typically with accompanying audio. In the same way that a screenshot is a static representation of a computer screen at a point in time, a screencast captures what happens on a monitor over a period of time. The audio track can be the sound from an application being demonstrated, a narrative from the presenter, or background audio from another application. Screencasts can be produced in various formats, and users generally watch them streamed over a network.

The screencast presented here is a powerpoint tutorial that shows the steps in adding action buttons to your presentation. This allows via a hyperlink to navigate to any given location.

Poster (ii)

The brief for this promotional poster was related to music. A venue, band or event was thus feasible. The one stipulation was that the poster should contain some design element related to Kandinsky. I choose a local venue; The Lansdowne Hotel which has live music on Wed - Fri of each week. Any feed back on this design would be welcome.

Monthly Quote

Creativity takes courage.. The effort to see things without distortion takes something like courage and this courage is essential to the artist who has to look at everything as though he saw it for the first time. (Henry Matisse)

Julie

There are primarily two categories of drawing, the first kind can be termed objective because it owes much to theme.
Traditional or "classical" drawings are typical of this kind. They are essentially documentary records of things, or of moment, or of landscape. The subject matter is treated descriptively ranging from a minimalist line, to an elaborate rendition of the subject matter.

The second kind is expressional or subjective drawing. Here the artist attenuates or distorts or idealizes forms. This drawing "Julie" represents the second kind.
