The New York World

This summer I was able to go higher on statue of liberty and enjoy the small museum inside the statue of liberty in New York City. They had jornals, visual media to promote the unveling and the importance of lady liberty.

This set shows the different iterations that were used to describe The New York World. It was interesting seeing the different versions and the combination of text and image and using the statue liberly and replacing the later versions as New York and making it the icon that until now it has been a landmark of New York.

This flyer used the Statue of Liberty an icon of liberty and welcoming immigrants

as an indicatior not to stay and leave. The use of text and the gesture indicates
and mandates people to leave the country and to make America a better place.

Final Review : Presentation

Final Poster: Louise Fili

Final Poster

Previous Poster

Louise Fili is known for her packaging and I wanted to use this labeling as a way to arrange the poster and it's hierarchy. Poster before the final, in critique it was mentioned that it looked like the spine of a book. I wanted the text to have more emphasis and that was the approach to the final poster. I used a stain glass that is located in Vanderslice as a decorative motif and pattern, as seen in Louise Fili work the use of pattern and undulating details that was brought into the design of the final poster rather than the previous poster.

Review Proposal

For my final review , one statement that i can synthesized from all the classes is the one of the first quotes that was said on the first day of class in Visual Communication in the Fall '09.

in which it was said that the "Principles are used by designer to turn disparate elements into a cohesive whole." These elements are type, image, color and how these work together to give meaning and either relay or anchorage meaning as seen in the spring '10

I will like to demonstrate the importance of layering and how this principle has been used through out the year. As seen in our first project the dot book the imposing of text over image and their reflection in meaning. As well in the delineation drawing of color and drawing and form this dimensionality allow for letter forms to come forward or recede in space. In the spring the last project in Image for the National Geographic the emphasis of this formal quality was not only evident as a medium through the use of transparencies but also as the concept of the earth and the relationship of layers; the use of colors and their of set was vital in order to obtain the right mixing of colors. Layering is also evident in the identity exhibit system.

The process of layering was a very important element through out both semesters also in my change one thing poster in which collaging played an important role as well as my identity project. The layering and collage was also evident in the marilyn poster but also dealing with the saturation of colors and the relationship of colors such as triads and complementary colors and the mixing of colors, a technique learned in the fall'10. The addition of layers not only allows for dimensionality but also for more embedded meaning.

.

The importance of image embedded with meaning and the relationship of text has a fundamental objective throughout the year. that as a graphic designer one acts as a mediator or a guide to the general audience. The importance when text and image worked to together, in a fusion. Or in separation or fragmentation when image and text disrupt each other which was more evident through the use of relay and anchorage. In my taxonomy, the use of text worked in a relay because even though they were marks they connotative a different meaning. Which is also evident in the identity project of the spring in which the icon and subject act upon a anchorage and relay beasis between the image and text. Text can work in the same way by the use of font face it either works as anchorage or relay. Which in my identity they worked in anchorage since they are taking from the same material or medium and their placement is also brings to mind the vision of media.

Louise Fili: Second Round of Posters

Louise Fili: First Round of Posters

I tried to focus on the elaborate areas of Vanderslice, but the the text is not really incorporated it just looks like it's added. Hopefully o the second round I can have a better dialogue between the image and the text.

On the second round I'm going to try a vectoring approach and perhaps it should look like a label.

Project 4: Louise Fili

The designer that I was giving her name is Louise Fili and she has been a source of inspiration for this new project in creating a poster for a "lecture" that will occur in Vanderslice. Looking at her work which started when she created book jackets as she worked many years for Pathenon Books as an art director. She was influenced by 1920-30's signage especially the one found in markets, etc in Italy. I will do my best to incorporate her decorative quality to the selection or font, or the framing of the text. Her packaging and identity for restaurants is really well compose and I will try my best to illustrate this quality of her work in my poster.

Revised infographs and placed in the magazine

On the last page in the final spread, I will perforate around the doll and the icons to allow the viewer to interact with my magazine as well it relates because the "little black dress" deals with dressing up which ties with my story.
