Batman concepts (also trepidation with internet provider)

Good Morning to everyone!

I have had a bit of trouble with my internet provider with the past 24 hours and deactivated my account. Michelle and i were finished with the assignments last night and i tried reactivating my account once more using their easy 24 hour line and no dice on their part. This morning i managed to pass three hours just waiting for them to pick up my line for the reactivation process and tadah! We're posting up our work right now!

Alright.....lets get the bats and shovels for the critique for the weekend.

Corporate logo for Batman Inc. incorporating the idea of climbing the ladder of success within the business world. 

Environmentalist. i had the idea of batman protecting the world in a hippie sense
and i wanted to incorporate the hands across America theme with a hint of
special hippie grooviness to the theme.

"Draw ya' dirty Varment!" For me southwest was a bit difficult to pinpoint as to "What" made
southwest, the Southwest.  To me the southwest was more keen to the "western" theme to the southwest.
Needless to say that the logo was more creative toward the theme of southwest.

Hello everyone. check the right hand side of the page to see the sketches that were due today. 

comment about the sketches, well you know the drill.

IM BATMAN!!

Here are my icons.

The first was a inspiration for the "Batman Beyond" animated show.  The futuristic environment and the retirement of Bruce changed the way the Batman worked. The computer grid integrated with the batsuit was a inspiration for the unity of the initials and icon.

The second was inspired by the Tim Burton film. The introduction of the bat-jet flying in the moonlight and stopping in front of the moon was the inspiration. The B and the M are more distinct from the icon and making it pop out more.

here are some of my sketches for ya too.

Researching was interesting. Tv shows, Movies and spinoffs were all considered for the initials that would be more suitable for the Dark Guardian of Gothom.

You know the drill at this point.

 See ya next class.

Find The Design

My advertisement for the assignment. A oldie but a Goldie from a collection of illustrator magazines i purchased long ago. Below this will be my descriptive essay, so sit back and enjoy some reading material. 

The Advertisement tells the description of a adobe sponsored event that is held in Las Vegas as a educational event to help others excel in the programs by adobe. It is seen as having a theme of star trek to help emphasize and excite audiences about the new event to something they can all relate to.  The san serif typeface throughout the ad creates a environment that it has a futuristic and exciting feel toward the event title of Photoshop world. The majority colors that are used are black, silver, lavender, white, red, yellow and grey to create a frightening unknown future feel to the ad.  The flow to the ad to my eyes goes from the top to the left then to the right and finally to the bottom. It creates a feeling to the header; descending bar to the left then to the planets that create a flair that adds more emphasis to the bottom information about how to register then the sponsorship and other companies that will be attending to the event.

The balance in the piece is equal due to even amounts of weight in the top and bottom with the empty space in the middle being a counterweight to even the ad space more evenly.  The amount of proportion within each section is divided into four major categories.  The top has the important header and date information in which it gives small detail about the particular event including the location and date. Left side creates a stairway for the eye to travel then hop off to the planets and then the bottom information. The bottom includes the sponsorship of the event as well as additional information about registration.

The unity in the piece has a strong sense that the repeated side on the left draws more information in a clear path from the top to the right then to the bottom, with the planets having a balance to show the text more clearly from the black background.

The emphasis this advertisement has a way to direct your eye from the top to the bottom by using the left and right margins to easily descend to the bottom.  This gives ease to the eye by making it coherent for everyone to understand in and outside of the demographic.

The amounts of groups linked with gestalt are within the number that makes it easy on the eye, creating the flow to make it easier to receive the information as painless as possible. The amount of proximity makes the groups much more distinct with information and design. The continuation has a smooth flow leading from the top to bottom and has a clean design that makes the information more viable without adding anything else that isn’t necessary. 

Have a good and fun day with critiquing each other works. 

See ya next class.
