Modern Dog Poster Designs





..so I was browsing and I came across this design company that now possesses my heart (kiiiinda like the Death Cab song).

They have about a bagillion other posters if you want to check them out. I really love the hand-made feel that most of them have and how they typically use custom type, so I'm a fan, definitely.

final painting

so for my final painting in Painting II I'm working on an homage to Pablo Picasso... daunting I know. ha.

Basically my idea stems from two quotes of his that really hit home with me after sophomore reviews came back:
"I do that which I can not do in order that I may learn to do it"
"Action is the fundamental key to success"

These quotes basically summarize the things I need to work on not only in my art, but in life in general... so, my painting will highlight these two things in my own style. I'm excited.

Anyone up for some STDs?


In light of the current predicament on my campus... I thought this ad campaign would be appropriate to share.... but I'm not gossiping.

In light of the stupendous campaign posters I've found and the need for awareness, I thought I would also share the following:



Gross, I know... but dude, talk about attention getting.



aaand, I am not a fan of this poster, per say, BUT I can't help but post an add with Hitler... that's crazy. sorry about the exposure if it bothers you


So yeah... I'm really not obsessed with obscene posters, but these were strong. and I was on the subject, so I went with it.... anyways.

Simplicity is Beautiful

as you may or may not know, I really tend to overcomplicate things whether in the classroom, in my head, on paper, or in my art. I struggle to leave it alone, to let it be, or to admit that I can do no more... SO. I decided to look for some instances of design in which LESS works better than more...
