poster design

POSTER DESIGN AND THE PROCESS 

so after all my research in to the band and artist that have inspired me i have come to a clear i dear to the next level   i start with doing some drawing witch  i will show in my next post. but the design you can see was done with yellow ink and then using black ink to right over the top. i repeated  the type to go with the song i was covering all the song says is here it comes again and.

i think that this was really successfully and the yellow really commitments the types and enhancers the type face. i think its gives the texts a presciently. 

after experimenting backgrounds and using ink i was really insipid by Jamie Resid the man behind the art work for the sex pistols. i tried doing a type face with ink to give it a triply feel but i couldn't get the type face to work with the background i made so i looked t Jamie Resid for some inspired in the from of cut up  collage  type. i used a newspaper and i made-up the bands name with the paper i think this really works and i am really happy with the outcome and it really gos with the band with them have a punk feel to there music.

Poster Process 

i have taking some scene shoots of my process with my poster. i used image that i was talking about at  the start of the post and the i used the same image over the top to give it a over lapping feel the i inverted the lay over the top to get this crazy triply patten of colour i really like how the colour has came though the text.after that i used bits of masking tip to add over the top the design then added a black box but after look i decided not to use the black box because it was taking the crazy out of the design.after that i started to play with the text i made with newspaper and play about with it till i was happy with the layout.then after i was happy eith the type face i started to play with imager in the background but with the background it was to powerful for some of my image so i have to use some thing plan to make it stand out witch i am working on now...

collage art movement

collage art movement 

a technique of an art production, primarily used in the visual arts where the artwork is made from an assemblage of different forms, thus creating a new whole.

A collage may sometimes include magazine and news  clippings, ribbons, paint bits of colored or handmade papers, portions of other artwork or texts,photo graphs and other found objects, glued to a piece of paper or canvas. The origins of collage can be traced back hundreds of years, but this technique made a dramatic reappearance in the early 20th century as an art form of novelty.

The term collage derives from the French "coller". This term was coined by both in the beginning of the 20th century when collage became a distinctive part of modern art

Jamie Resid

Jamie Resid 

jamie Reid is a British artist and anarchist with connections to the Situationists and is infamous for his acerbic brand of visual anarchy. Jamie Reid’s signature newspaper-cutting graphics have become synonymous with the spirit of British punk rock music, having appeared on seminal Sex Pistols’ punk records of the 1970s including never mind the bollocks ,anarchy in the uk,union jack,god save the queen which you can see up above and pretty vacant.



 God Save The Queen

the design that you can see was  done by virgin records the sex pictols. The image has been reproduced at low resolution and could not be used in such a way as to reduce the copyright owner's commercial interests in the image.The image has been reproduced at low resolution and could not be used in such a way as to reduce the copyright owner's commercial interests in the image.The image is used to illustrate the famous design and help explicate how it caused offense, as described in the article, as well as to illustrate the famous and and historically significant record it was created for. Use of the image in this fashion illustrates the design's and the record's cultural significance in a way that words alone could not convey.

Jamie Reid's cut-and-paste aesthetic developed from his interest in radical politics. His artistic style developed while at art college in Croydon, where he was influenced by the ideas of the avant-garde political group, the Situationist International. The political slant to his art was aroused by the May 1968 Paris student riots, which inspired fraternal protests organised by Reid at the Croydon College of Art. These were directed with fellow student Malcolm McLaren, later to become the manager of the Sex Pistols.

god save myra Hindley

the  poster you can  is one of a series of designs that  Reid designed as props for the Sex Pistols mock documentary The Great Rock 'n' Roll Swindle, released in 1980. Designed for a scene featuring McLaren dancing in Highgate Cemetery, Reid has insisted that the concept was 'hugely humanitarian', the point being that there is some good in everyone. 
This poster from the series features the booking photograph of Myra Hindley, taken after her arrest for the child murders she committed with Ian Brady in the mid 1960s.

the history of punk

 the history of  punk 

1. Punk rock (or none as punk) is a rock music genre that developed between 1974 and 1976 in the United States, United Kingdom, and Australia. Rooted in garage rock and other forms of what is now known as protopunk music, punk rock bands eschewed perceived excesses of mainstream 1970s rock.

1. Punk fashion is, but in 1970 it didn't exist Punk first emerged in the mid 1970s in London as an anarchic and aggressive movement.About 200 young people defined themselves as an anti-fashion urban youth street culture Closely aligned was a music movement that took the name punk.

The clothes suited the lifestyle of those with limited cash due to unemployment and the general low income school leavers or students often experience.

Punks cut up old clothes from charity and thrift shops, destroyed the fabric and refashioned outfits in a manner then thought a crude construction technique, making garments designed to attract attention.  It deconstructed garments into new forms. Whilst torn fabrics, frayed edges and defaced prints are now considered normal in the 21st century, in the 1970s it shocked many people, because it had never been seen before.  Until then fabric had been treated as a material to keep as pristine, new looking and beautiful as possible.

punk evolved in the USA and the UK in the mid ’70s, it has heavily influenced all areas of the arts world and many young people. Punk was an expression of youthful rebellion and anti-authoritarian mentality. The term punk was first used by American critics in the early ’70s to describe the new bands that had arrived on the scene.

By the mid ’70s, bands such as The Ramones, The Sex Pistols and The Clash were viewed and recognized as the forefront of a new musical movement. Soon, punk spread around the world and not just in music, but also within fashion, visual art, literature, dance and film.

terget markets and consumers needs (halloween party

 market and consumers

 [1]A target market is a group of customers towards which a business has decided to aim its marketing efforts and ultimately its merchandise A well-defined target market is the first element to a marketing strategy. The marketing mix variables of product, place (distribution), promotion and price are the four elements of a marketing mix strategy that determine the success of a product in the marketplace.

for the start of this year my course were  giving the task to  hosted a Halloween party for illustration and  students for this to be  successful event  will have to research is needed to be able to known the consumer needs of our target market 

with being a student at this university my self I no the type of  student that attend here and whether or not they have the funds on spending on nights outs...the target market are the students of ccad and the consumer needs will vary and the factors are needed to be considered for when we are organising the halloween party.

To target your consumer properly there is 6 step to think about. eg(Halloween party) 

1. students often have the limited funds with the money being spent on other essentials so it is very important that the entry tickets are affordable and the drinks are also cheap.as a group we made the chose of having the party within the art cafe which is free.the bar within the art cafe which will be organised by Sean Walsh he will be supply the drink at the party and he will be taking the profits from the drink.the sale of the tickets will vary on price so if we are to make a profit we will need to sale the tickets at 5pound  we will need to sale about 15 to 20 tickets to make the profit possible.a making the tickets cheap should bring the students.all drink prices will be set by Sean as he will be setting up the bar.
2. students of both sex age average 18 to 25
3. alcohol consumption-what drinks will people want,larger,beer,wine,non alcoholic drinks.
4. some people will have to travel or drive and may not be able to drink which could possibly put them off attending the party.the train times are limited so people who commute via train may have to leave earlier to make it for the train to solve this problem the party could start earlier maybe 8 or 9
5. being one of the students that will be attending the party a visual impact the event plays a crucial part in the attracting them to the event,posters will be designed and made by the illustrators and the graphic designers of the group.
6. the tickets and flyers will also be made to a similar style to keep with the theme of the party

understanding what students spend day to day......

University students are using up their maintenance loans on more than a month before term is due to end, and are spending almost as much money on alcohol as they do on food.

A survey by VoucherCodes found that the loans designed to cover a whole term's rent and living expenses are being used up in just two months, even though this autumn's term is just over three months long.

What's left over after rent is being spent at a rate that is leaving many student relying on handouts from their families, dipping into whatever savings they have, or being forced to use their bank overdrafts.

who.why.when....

1. Who? This is one of the most important factors. Your target market may, for example, be children (children's books) but the consumer is the parents. If they don't like the look of something their precious child will be exposed too, they won't buy it full stop.
2. Why? Another important part of the target is why they would buy a product. If their aim is to study, would they buy a games console or a laptop? If they want to have fun, would they rather purchase an algebra book or some tabletop puzzles?
3. When? Birthdays, holidays and seasons are all vital in the marketing and targeting of a product. Thick, winter hoodies probably wouldn't be in as much demand in the height of summer as they would be come October, and how many people would buy a bikini at Christmas? Getting the timing right is just as important as targets and reasonings.

Whilst rent has increased very slightly on  spending on food has plummeted. In fact, in most categories spending has fallen compared to last year, down £38 across the board.

The spend each month on “luxury” items such as clothes and socialising have taken a small hit, however travel costs have jumped from £40 to £44.

On average, £5 is spent on illegal drugs each month, which may come as a surprise to some.

It may be that students are becoming increasingly sensitive to their spending habits, perhaps due to a higher awareness of ‘student debt’ since the fee increase along with the wider economic climate of austerity.

understanding you target market......

Target your market at people with disposable income, understand what people have. Disposable income is the money left over once all your living expenses have been paid for. An example of changing disposable income affecting the visual arts is when the recession hit the UK everybody was effected, including art buyers. Prices for a piece of artwork would massively decrease because people didn't have the disposable income to buy the things they want, such as artwork.

the old spice marking campaign

to understanding the market you need to have a great understanding of your consumer and i think that looking at the old spice campaign and how there market there brand to the consumer (old spice is a mans spray and body wash that campaigned to the upper class as you no from the adds on the tv as the add shows a man doing some thing as they say upper class things like playing poly riding on the beach  and wearing a sweeter around your neck like i said the upper class.

The Old Spice campaign has proven to be one of the most memorable creative marketing and advertising concepts ever executed.

It has longevity and endurance that has been achieved through a mix of several reiterations as well as using online and offline marketing, social media and PR that has kept the original content bubbling across the Web.

Wieden + Kennedy created the original ad for the Super Bowl for their client Procter and Gamble the owners of the iconic Old Spice brand.

The ad featured former NFL athlete Isaiah Mustafa and was a a video centric marketing campaign that combined both traditional and social media.

The Old Spice Campaign Facts and Figures

Here are some of the numbers that were the result of the continuous marketing campaign.

• The number one most viewed sponsored channel on YouTube
• 236 million YouTube Views
• 80,000 Twitter followers in 2 days
• Facebook Interaction increased 800% with the personalized videos (Fans now total over 1.5 million)
• Sales figures increased by 107 %

The creators of the campaign decided  to add a negative twist to rejuvenate the campaign by introducing a rival “Fabio” the “New Old Spice Guy” and had the viewers vote on who they preferred . This produced a lot of “Buzz” online and negative comment (viewers “loved” Isaiah Mustafa the original old spice guy) that continued to drive the viral conversation with the original “Old Spice Guy of course winning the competition. I have found negative headlines to produce much better responses

Drug Related Album cover

Drug Related album covers 





album cover for the foals a indie music band  the art work was done bye agency  called independent hope i got the right? that's based in London.. however the illustration /design  was done by a illustrator called Christopher wright (tinhead) freelancer artist who has also worked on the foals music videos.his work i think is both sample and  beautiful i was really inspired bye the use of line work and how the bold green line around the imager really makes the art work come alive.i feel that the artist has got  inspired from the kiss(lovers)was painted by an Austrian called Gustav klimt  he was a symbolist painter. the art work it  self give's you the feeling of a drudged up reality that is symbolised in the image.for example see how the eye are dimmed down to give you the sense of  being high..

the kiss bye Gustav Klimt 

some quests from a interview with tinhead 

How did you get into illustration, has it always been important?

Hmm it’s a love hate thing, I tried to do fine art but was misguided by my foundation art course and I failed to get into any schools, so in rage I worked for a year as a bin man and drew a bit, for people. I did some modelling, then my mum was like please son go, try for university again, so I re-applied for illustration, and I have been doing it ever since, although I am constantly frustrated by it.

A favorite project to date?

This is hard. I like collaborations because if the person you are working with is fun, then its great plus you can learn a lot. My last two projects were fun because I made films. I enjoy doing new things. In terms of success I would say some of the foals artworks for singles/albums have been rad.

Here are some other artwork from Antidotes:

  

some more art work from the album Antidotes bye foals.with this piece of art work i get a hole new feel from the album cover. this feels in away like the art has lost all control almost like an heart attack and the repetitive text give you the feeling of playing some hard style donk  and taking some E what a trap that would be.but i still really love this process and could really work well with my concept and process.

Non-Narrative My brief
the amazing sneakheads




for the non-narrative brief  were were giving a list of music album and were told to pick one from the list. I picked seven albums from the list after i looked at Nick Cave (murder ballads) iggy azalea (the new classic)SBTKT(wonder where we land)Royal blood(royal blood)childish gambino(because the internet)jerry lee lewis (great balls of Fire)the amazing snake heads(amphetamine ballads)after looking at all the albums i picked to look at its was clear that i was going to do the amazing sneak heads. after listing to one song i was instantly went for the  amazing sneak head.

onces i  new the  band and album i will be  going to look into the band i had to see what inspired there songs to get a idea for my concept.and also look at the history of the band. and to help me .come up with i concept i will be looking into different types of poster art like rock n billy and hardcore poster art.but after doing some looking and listing to the band my anion was changes after two songes on the ablum which was here it comes again and im a vampire flatlining. i got the feel that they could have some type of link with drugs.

''[1] Short bursts of anger snap into place in the dimly lit songs of the Amazing Snakeheads, a Glasgow band enamored with the well-worn fusion of punk and classic rock'n'roll. If punk represented a new year zero for rock to some, for others it carried all the hallmarks of a past worth digging up and fusing with its abrasive form. This is the punk that takes jerry lee lewis as its starting point instead of, say, the Stooges or Suicide. It’s unashamedly backwards-looking, caught somewhere between the precipice gazing of nick cave in his birthday party days and the plastic Elvis front Jon Spencer took in the Blues Explosion. It wouldn’t work without the robust commitment of singer Dale Barclay, who’s spitting and cursing one minute (“I’m a Vampire”) then lost at the end of his tether over a woman the next (“Heading for Heartbreak”). The whiff of pomade may be palpable, but so is the air of commitment.

1. Bryan Lewis Saunders is a performance artist, videographer, and performance poet known for his disturbing spoken word rants, tragic art performances.

On 30 of march in  1995, Saunders began drawing at least one self-portrait every day for the rest of his life. For 11 days in 2001, Saunders conducted an experiment in which he ingested or inhaled a different intoxicant everyday and created a self-portrait under the influence documenting the effects of his altered perception.On May 16, 2010 Saunders performed in the Palau de la Virreina as part of the International Poetry Festival in Barcelona alongside bibble hansen Eugene S. Robinson  "The Ugly Americans".In January 2011, a selection of the drug induced self-portraits presented online went viral. In 2003, Saunders began sleeping with a cassette recorder and documenting both his dreams and which led to a wealth of source material for both audio releases and books. here are some examples of bryans work from under the influence 

Bryan Lewis Saunders likes to take drugs, both legal and illegal, and then draw pictures of himself. The results are strikingly different from drug to drug, and they vary from beautiful to grotesque, abstract and just plain bizarre.

An artist in his mid-40s from Virginia, now living in Tennessee, Saunders has completed more than 9,930 self-portraits to date (though not all under the influence of a drug).

He said he explored tragedy and social problems for a couple years, then switched to exploring sleep, pain and personality assessment—then drugs. He's most interested in the "things that are still a mystery to us all," he said in an email.

In 2012 Saunders told Wired magazine he'd decided to do a self-portrait every day for the rest of his life so that he "could die knowing that I tried to experience as much as possible when I was alive."

teddy boy ac

teddy boy

 the name  teddy boy was not officially born until late september on the 23rd 1953 when the daily express newspaper headline shortened edwardian  to teddy and coined the term Teddy boy nevertheless it is also known that a number of girlfriends  of the working class edwardians were referring to them as a teddy boy way before  the newspaper (daily express).

in 1953 a major newspaper reported on the sweeping trend in mens fashion  came across all the towns of britain towards about the new edwardian trend
however the working class edwardian style had been on the street since 1951 by the working class and now passed down to a younger generation.

teddy boy competition at nottingharn 1956


Although the popular press of the day claim that the working-class Edwardian fashion was initially worn in south and east London during the early 1950's, the fashion was actually taking hold all over the country at the same time. Examples of this can be found in Newspaper reports and Photographs which confirm this. 


The origins of the Teddy Boys actually go back to the late 1940's when Saville Row Tailor's attempted to revive the styles of the reign of King Edward VII, 1901-1910, known as the Edwardian era, into men's fashions. The Teddy Boy fashion of the fifties has its origins in what was an upper class reaction to the austerity imposed by the socialist government in the years following the World War II.



Teddyboy emerged in the 1950s as Britain was coming to the end of post-war austerity and represented the first face of British youth culture. The consumer boom of the 1950s America did not reach Britain until the 1960s but nevertheless working class teenagers could for the first time afford good clothes, a bicycle or motorcycle and entertainment. 

The clothing that the Teddyboys wore was designed to shock their parents' generation. It consisted of an Edwardian style drape jacket, much too 'camp' for a working class man, suede Gibson shoes with thick crepe soles, narrow 'drainpipe' trousers, a smart shirt and a loud tie - usually of the 'Slim Jim' or bootlace type. The trademark drape jacket was not as impractical as it seems. Not only did it act as a badge of recognition but, as it was made of woollen cloth with lots of pockets, its kept it's owner warm as he hung around in the street and was also good at concealing weapons and alcohol.

The Teddygirls adopted American fashions such as toreador pants and circle skirts, although they tended to wear low cut tops to make themselves look less prissy. Girls wore ponytails and the boys tried a number of experimental hairstyles, the most favourite being the overblown quiff.

teddy boy fashion/pattens/clothing

the history of teddy boy fashion 

The word Drapeitself was used by Americans when talking about the Zoot suit, referring to it as a set of drapes. The deformed box or coffin cut of the Neo-Edwardian jacket was American in idea and dated back to the zoot-suit with its huge sloping shoulders. The back of the jacket was box cut with no seam or vents, it could have a 2 inch turn-up around the cuffs of the sleeves and flap, ticket or jetted pockets, but not velvet.

 4 buttons which could be bone but not velvet. Velvet might just be around the top of the collar or maybe no velvet at all but remember although the basic suit was drab, the tie and waistcoat made up for that.

 The Maverick tie, Cravat, Boot Lace tie, a loosely tied bow tie or slightly later a Slim Jim Tie were all worn. It depended on your area, what your mates wore and the date as to what Ted gear you wore. Here we shall refer to the tightly knotted tie, which was a throwback again to America and the Jive style. 

 ties would be worn along with a loudly flashy silk brocade waistcoat - or weskit- and a fob watch with a chain linked through the 'weskit' this altogether made these boys who wanted to stay out of the gaze of the law, leap straight into the view of the police. All trousers were higher fitting but these Neo-Edwardians wore the tighter drainpipe style of 'strides'. 

For footwear the choice was Oxford, brogue, crepe soled suede chukka shoes or boots, or the thicker crepe of Brothel Creepers. The hair was American in style, the hair could be piled into a pompadour, an elephant trunk quiff, a silver dollar or a crew cut. An early Edwardian might have had the sides and back of his hair tapered up high but a greasy, messy quiff with sideburns finished off with a Ducks Arse thickly greased down the back of the head became the most popular as time went by. The actual style of these Neo-Edwardians was a mix of many influences that kept harking back to Edwardian Britain.

but Truthfully, they were just unskilled, working class young men but in their heads there was something of the western frock coated gunslinger blended into the Teddy boy.

The Teddy Boy was considerably different in terms of style from the original Neo-Edwardian era fashion which was started by Saville Row Tailors around August 1948. This was because the Teddy Boy fashion incorporated elements of American Western dress such as Maverick Ties and Silk Brocade Waistcoats worn by Wild West Gamblers and Gunslingers.  It should be pointed out at this point, that the original Teddy Boys tended to wear a separate non-matching Jacket, Trousers and Waistcoat (as shown in the photograph of Mick Farrell above) as opposed to matching 3-piece Drape suits which tend to be worn by Teddy Boys nowadays.  In Edinburgh during the 1950's the wearers of 3 piece Drape suits would have been referred to as 'Edwardians' and not 'Teddy Boys'.

amphetamines

amphetamines druges

amphetamines were first discovered in the 1800s but their medical uses were not recognised until the 1930s. Then they were used to counter low blood pressure, help asthmatics breathe more easily and suppress appetite.

Later amphetamines were prescribed for a whole range of disorders including inability to sleep, epilepsy, migraine, depression and hyperactivity in children. In the 1950s and 1960s they were widely marketed as slimming tablets.

More recently medical prescribing of amphetamines has fallen greatly although they are still used for sleep problems. Following widespread prescribing of amphetamines (or amphetamine-like drugs such as Ritalin), in America to children who have behaviour problems, this type of use is now growing in the UK.

Amphetamine is a strong stimulant that can make people feel alert and energised. It also usually lifts mood.

Amphetamine has a varied history. It has often been given to soldiers in wars and at one point was used as a diet pill.

Non-medical use of amphetamines grew in the UK in the 1960s especially among teenage 'mods'. The use of 'purple hearts' (a combination of amphetamine and barbiturate) by thousands of young people led to the first post war drug craze (and media drug scare) in the UK In 1964, unauthorised possession of amphetamine was banned.

Amphetamine is a stimulant and an appetite suppressant. It stimulates the central nervous system (nerves and brain) by increasing the amount of certain chemicals in the body. This increases heart rate and blood pressure and decreases appetite, among other effects.

Amphetamine is used to treat narcolepsy and attention deficit disorder with hyperactivity (ADHD).

Amphetamine may also be used for purposes other than those listed in this medication guide.
