More artist research (this time they're more relevant to my designdevelopment now I've gradually found my ground)

Art poster research source

Stanley Mouse 

Stanley Mouse's work is incredibly bright and interesting/exciting. I'm intending to focus on something rather quirky and exciting so that it grabs the intended audience's attention.

WES WILSON

Wes uses clever ways to incorporate the purpose through word art. His commentary is usually incorporated into the actual image itself and it creates a really interesting end result. I am going to incorporate this into my own because I think it's an intelligent way to get my point of 'happiness' into the front page.

This is probably the most interesting and my favourite of his work. I really adore the centre being the main focus point and the black and white theme of it. It creates a very 60's/70's/80's theme to it and I personally find it very aesthetically appealing. 

The colours between these are very bold and exciting. They may be quite 'dull' and not brightly coloured, but they are extremely interesting and they certainly match the theme. They are very aesthetically pleasant and they aren't over the top, which the writing is very lovely also.

 BOB MASSE

Bob Masse has done posters for relatively large bands. It's obvious he was one with getting the point across intelligently using imagery and words cleverly constructed, even when he didn't use bright colours. Sometimes he didn't use bright colours, but bold black and white. They're incredibly eye-catching and it looks very sophisticated.

 CHRISTIAN PARIS

Although Paris doesn't especially focus on images, he typically focus' on the typography. The typography is usually really fun, vibrant and is extremely quirky. I could potentially use his typography or something along the lines of it, because despite it being created years ago, it is indefinitely not dated and is still today used as inspiration blatantly on other posters etc. 

For writing purposes, I think that the writing style is very interesting and would definitely make somebody linger a while to read what the interesting font is saying.

GüNTHER BERKUS

Berkus uses crazy ideas that you could probably only see in some form of trip. It's incredibly constructed, sometimes by taking a photo and then editing it up, other times creating the original form on a program and then manipulating it to create these weird and wonderful images. Although I wouldn't myself consider creating something quite like this for this assignment entirely, I could use it as inspiration for a background image or as part of some strange space I haven't yet developed in an illustration. 

If I was to use this style, there is no doubt that people wouldn't be interesting. If they didn't pick up the brochure to contemplate coming to NNC, they would definitely pick it up out of curiosity. It certainly is one hell of an interesting art style.

 STEVE SEYMOUR

Stever Seymour uses a similar style to the previous artists, but he uses it more for a purpose and incorporates the writing so it's large and instantly recognisable but it's also cleverly blended in so that the illustrative part isn't so over-powered and is balanced. I do intend on basing my design somewhat resembling the following images slightly because I find the intriguingly quirky and it instantly grabs the audiences intention and is EXTREMELY interesting and visually appealing without over doing it.

The colours instantly remind me of Black Sabbath which is probably why this one is my favourite of them all. However, despite my bias influenced music taste; I think that by having a black and bold colour theme interests the audience. I think that it would grab them instantly; if not with excitement; with curiosity.
