Kate Moross

 Kate has used three types of colour, which compliment each other. She has combined the use of words and images. The composition is tight, which makes the image stand out. The images go with the meaning of the words. I like the way she uses words and images together.

 Kate has used a plain background, which makes her main center image pop out. She has arranged the words in a compact way. The text is large and the font is slightly different for each heading.

Kate has Used a black background, which makes the white notepad bold. She has only used two colour, white and black. It looks like something that a teacher would leave in a pupils workbook. Kate has used two shapes. I like the way shes made it look like a rough sketch.

Kate has made the bottles look like stencils. Within the bottles she has used different ranges of font. The background is black which makes the colourful writing stand out. The words on the bottles and the tube describe the contents.

Kate has used a 3D effect to make it look like a long corridor. She has used cubism for the word in the foreground. Kate has used three colours, white, yellow and brown. She uses lines to draw the eye of the beholder in.

Kate has used rainbow colours, which build up the whole picture. She has used psychedelic colours, which remind me of Pink Floyd album covers. Kate has used repetition in her patterns, by using the same colours and phrases.

Saul Bass graphic desinger

 Saul Bass has used three types of colour, blue, white and black. He has used blue for the center block, which makes the black stand out. The colours that he has used have little white specks in them. Saul Bass has used white lines to break up the blocks of colour. His use of pattern makes the cover look striking and draws the readers eye.

 Saul Bass seems to favour the simplicity of using just three warm colours. Saul has used a simple swirl effect, he has also used playing cards and a casino chip with 007 on it to indicate that the story is about James Bond.

 Saul Bass has used a simple but effective background colour, which brings out the little details on the phone. The composition is plain, but eye catching.

 Saul Bass uses repetition to build up the picture. Saul Bass uses triangles to draw the readers eye in to the center of the image. He uses two warm colours for the background, which create bold lines.

 Saul Bass uses a monoprint background, which makes the main image pop out. Saul has used squares which form a pattern. He's done a tight layout, which is effective.

Saul Bass has used seven warm colours, which compliment each other. The layout again is simple. There is a white line separating the two blocks of colour in the background. It gives the effect of an horizon.

Looking at Jo peel (response)

I looked at Jo Peels work and had to create my own version of her work. I used Illustrator to produce my work.

First I Used the pen tool to create a flag back ground, I used one colour. Then after that I collected some industrial pictures, because Jo Peels work, works around old building and changing towns/ city's. I collected one image at a time, I selected windows at the top and then I selected Image Trace. When I selected that the tool box came up, and I clicked on the little arrow next to advanced. When that was selected I clicked on Ignore white, then trace. My image then became transparent.
I repeated this method for every photo and placed them where I thought it would fit best.

Jo Peels work has a strong use of line, she uses repetition to bring out the detail in her buildings.
Jo Peels uses One or two types of colours, which makes her detailed items stand out (the buildings and machinery).

Magazine cover

I collected ten music magazine covers on a new pin-board on pinterest.  I then used my research to create my own magazine cover. I used Illustrator.

Close ups of eyes and clothing

I took pictures of close eyes and clothing. I had to use a light projector to reflect sharp parts of the eyes and clothing that i was taking. When the camera was sharp and the eyes or clothing was perfect to see (not blurry), i then took the image and repeated this for each photo.

NME

I started to build up the text from the NSE music magazine and tried to copy the style and format of it.
I used Illustrator to create shapes and then to write text over the top (text from the original magazine). I had to copy the same font and style that was used from the original, i did this by changing the font, until it was right.
I know that next time when i copy the layout of a magazine to do the background first. I made sure that all the colours were about the same, or as close at it would get.

Formal elements used:
Shape- By creating boxes
Colour- By making my shapes full of colour ad my text
Composition- By making a neat layout and placing items in a certain way

NME Cover (Got to love the foo's)

 I took a NSE magazine cover that i liked and then used Illustrator, to create the main features with shapes. I used colours that represent what colours the text was. I placed the shapes where the main features were on the original magazine. I like building up magazine covers like this because, it makes it easy to build up the text and pictures.

Formal Elements used:

Colour- By making my shapes full of colour
Composition- By moving my shapes in certain places
