Why I like Art and Design?

I like art and design is from a long time ago. I remember from childhood, when I liked to watch cartoons, even is fascinated. So grow up, I started very interested in animation and art design, so  college I chose animation and graphic design professional.

I think Art and Design is an independent arts disciplines, its content and services object different from the traditional disciplines of the arts. Art and Design is the subject of a highly comprehensive, it relates to many aspects of the social, cultural, economic, market, science and technology, its standards of beauty change as many other factors change. Art and design your in the creative activities and practice. However, in the scope of Art and Design, I am more interested in is graphic design. Because graphic design in addition to visually gives a beauty to enjoy, more importantly, to convey a message to the people at large.

I think Design and art is Different, because design  meet the aesthetic but also practical,decoration. Did not complete the design concept, the design of excellence, continuous improvement, you need to challenge themselves to their own declaration of war. The key to the design is found only continue through the depth of feeling and experience to do to impress others is a challenge for the designer. Designed to make people moved in sufficient detail can move people, graphics creative play moving, color grade play moving, material texture play moving, the design of a variety of elements to a combination of organic art. In the class learning I will seriously learn.

Different types of posters

Many posters, particularly early posters, were used for advertising products. Posters continue to be used for this purpose, with posters advertising films, music (both concerts and recorded albums), comic books, and travel destinations being particularly notable examples.


Propaganda and political posters

During the First and Second World Wars, recruiting posters became extremely common, and many of them have persisted in the national consciousness, such as the "Lord Kitchener Wants You" posters from the United Kingdom, the "Uncle Sam wants you" posters from the United States, or the "Loose Lips Sink Ships" posters[4] that warned of foreign spies. Posters during wartime were also used for propaganda purposes, persuasion, and motivation, such as the famous Rosie the Riveter posters which exhorted women workers during World War II that "We can do it!". The Soviet Union also produced a plethora of propaganda posters,[5] some of which became iconic representations of the Great Patriotic War. During the democratic revolutions of 1989 in Central and Eastern Europe the poster was very important weapon in the hand of the opposition. Brave printed and hand-made political posters appeared on the Berlin Wall, on the statue of St. Wenseslas in Prague and around the unmarked grave of Imre Nagy in Budapest and the role of them was indispensable for the democratic change. A recent example of an influential political poster is Shepard Fairey's Barack Obama "HOPE" poster.


Movie Posters

The film industry quickly discovered that vibrantly coloured posters were an easy way to sell their pictures. Today, posters are produced for most major films, and the collecting of movie posters has become a major hobby. The record price for a poster was set on November 15, 2005 when US$690,000 was paid for a poster of Fritz Lang's 1927 film Metropolis from the Reel Poster Gallery in London.

Travel posters

Poster advertising or proposing a travel destination, or simply artistically articulating a place have been made. An example is the Beach Town Posters series, a collection of Art Deco travel posters of American beach resorts that refer to the advertising style of the 1920s and 1930s.

Railway posters

In the early days of steam railways in Britain, the various rail companies advertised their routes and services on simple printed sheets. By the 1850s, with increasing competition and improvements in printing technology, pictorial designs were being incorporated in their advertising posters. The use of graphic artists began to influence the design of the pictorial poster.

Event posters

Posters advertising events have become common. Any sort of public event, from a rally to a play, may be advertised with posters; a few types of events have become notable for their poster advertisements.

Concert posters

Many concerts, particularly rock concerts, have custom-designed posters that are used for advertisement of the event. These often become collectors items as well.


Blacklight poster

Blacklight posters are designed to have a special effect under a blacklight (ultraviolet light).

Pin-up posters

Pinup posters , "pinups," or cheesecake posters are pictures of attractive women designed to be displayed, first coming to popularity in the 1920s. The popularity of sexy pin-up girl posters has been erratic in recent decades. 

Affirmation posters

This refers to decorative posters that are meant to be motivational and inspirational. One popular series has a black background, a scene from nature, and a word such as "Leadership" or "Opportunity." 

Comic book posters

The resurgence of comic book popularity in the 1960s led to the mass production of comic book posters in the 1970s and onward. These posters typically feature popular characters in a variety of action poses. The fact that comic books are a niche market means that a given poster usually has a smaller printing run than other genres of poster. Therefore, older posters may be quite sought after by collectors.

Readability is enhanced by improving the visual presentation of text. Design can also help in ads and selling a product in market.

ANIMATION?

 

Animation is an illusion of motion created by rapidly displaying sequence images. The word Animation is a form of animate, which means to bring to life. It is also considered as a form of art. Animation is time consuming and costly to produce. It’s the only art form which stretches the imagination to get a laugh. Persistence of vision is the physics behind this where the eyes can be fooled to see continuous movement.

            On the basis of dimension we categories animation into two, 2D and 3D. 2D animation is also called Traditional animation. In this every movements and facial expressions are manually drawn, and then transferred onto film or onto digital media. The animators drawings are transferred onto a transparent acetate sheets called cells. This is why it is also called cell animation. Traditional animation became easier in 21th century with the use computers, in which these drawings are been scan into or directly drawn into the computer. There is much software for 2D animation like Adobe Flash, Toon Boom Studio and Anime Studio etc.

            Computer Animation is a method of creating successive frames using a rendering machine. Animators considered computers as a very powerful and useful part of their animation systems; this introduced the 3 dimensional animations. In this animators design the characters using software. The digitally sculptured model is then rigged (adding born to the character). These characters are then given movements as the same as in traditional animation but here animator don’t want to draw instead they create poses. After that it is added with cloth, hair, textures etc. which comes under 3D dynamics. Toy Story (1995) is the first feature length film to be done completely in 3D graphics.­

            Stop animation or stop motion animation is another method of animation where the animators make objects move on their own. Puppetry is one of the most used frame-to-frame animation types. Some famous movies that are animated via stop motion are The Dinosaur and the Missing Link, The Lost World and The Curse of the Were-Rabbit.­­

            Animation begins with story boarding throughout the character design to the end of production, drawing skill is essential in animation. Animation drawing is a balance between flat image and solid shapes. The most important five aspects of drawing that animators must understand are gesture, weight and balance, solidity, proportion and silhouetting. Besides that a good animation should have a good visual eye, storytelling ability, sense of timing and an understanding about motion, size, ratio and perspective.

            The first and foremost thing to be done in animation is story boarding. Story boarding is a rough frame of scene which shows its layout, composition etc. Mean while characters and background layout will be set. According to this storyboard and recorded dialogue animator animate the scenes. These frames are colored and combined with the back ground to become scene. After all the drawings have been filmed, the dialogue is added. Sometimes the film is timed properly by some simple editing to become a fully finished animation film.
