Design Crit 2

I chose the apple ipod image that really speaks for itself.  I think this photo is visually intriguing because of its use of color contrast and negative space.  The colors are strong against the black silhouette image of a girl showing movement having a fun approach to advertising.  Her movement shows that she is definitely feeling her music and action is important with music advertising.  The simplicity of the stark white background is strong against the layer of colors and the layer of the black image.  Simplicity is appealing to me because it makes a strong point.  You don't need a lot of "stuff" to get your point across to the viewer.  The logo apple uses and the small text "ipod" next to it in the upper right hand corner is all you need.  I also thought it was cool that the actual ipod is white making the background come into play without overdoing the product.  Overall its a fun image that conveys movement, music and artistic freedom from the norm.

  1. The artist also uses the diagonal rule and a limited palette. This image is deceivingly simple; check out the complexity of the flower designs behind the silhouette. The black is a repetitive element that is used both in the figure, the blots, and the ipod apple.
