Cubism and Frank Lloyd WrightDescribe what it is: This is a Windex bottle done in the style of Cubism.
Describe your concept behind the design: I decided to do a bottle with straight edges like if it were made from lots of little cubes. I then colored in larger cubes with blues and greens, trying to stick within the same color family. I used close to the same colors that are used in the modern day Windex bottle.
Discuss the style of the design & typography, how it relates to history: The style of the Windex bottle fits in with the whole design concept of Cubism. Everything is in the form of a cube and there are no soft edges. The typography of Windex is in a cube matter; the squared off look fits within the style. Even though I didn't see much typography with Cubism.
Describe what it is: This is a Windex logo that is done in the style of Frank Lloyd Wright.
Describe your concept behind the design: I decided to do an ad or logo for the Windex product with a Frank Lloyd Wright concept. I used one of his window designs for inspiration with the shapes and colors and I used the influence of a font that Frank Lloyd Wright designed for Windex .
Discuss the style of the design & typography, how it relates to history: I thought that if I were to do a Frank Lloyd Wright style for the Windex product I figured it should be very close to one that he actually did design. I was inspired by a window design he did, and I think it fits pretty well with the ad concept. This relates to history of graphic design because this is the type of design that he would have used and actually did use for a window design (with some alterations).
Once again awesome job this week. I love the first design its so creative and unique. You go the extra step by adding a bit of color to your sketches, not required, but nice addition. The first is almost from a older style video game. But I feel the text doesn't quite match the style. Try a more slab serif font, blocky and 'game-like'. As for the second drawing, I can see this one took more time! It's beautiful, and I think the font adds a bit of flow to it. Great work. :)
ReplyDeleteI really enjoy the second one and the first one is great too. The only thing i would have changed about the first one is i would have made it more abstract kind of more cluttered in a sense because when i see cubism i always think like what the hell is going on here, and with yours its very obvious its a windex bottle but very good overall. I love the idea. and for the second one i love the style and the design of it just maybe make the font serif. but good job.
ReplyDeleteps: i tried making the letters bigger on the pen to make more of a ink pen like an old school one. it didnt work so well but maybe if i worked on it i could make it.
Both of you're designs are really cool, they look great with the color you added! They were both well thought out and I think they really represent each style perfectly. I really liked the way you used the blocks to give the Windex a pixelated look. Nice job :D
