by Alizee Lafon These are artists interpretations of a popular show and movie It's function is purely entertainment I saw this at an estate sale The work is very well thought out and is very clear. The colorful parts of the images takes identifying elements from the show and movie and arranges the items off center but grouped together. I feel as if this is contemporary with serif font that mimics the type that is original to each production. I was drawn to these because they are trendy yet classic. They feel very masculine. They do not seem cold or static. The colors in these are bold and energetic. The illustrations are playful and arranged on a grid.
Photo card This photo card was designed to be a functional advertisement I saw this at the I.D.E.A. Store on the sales floor. The quality of work in this era was pretty quality. It is mostly a photograph but the composition of the photograph was very formal, which is expected from this era. The type was symmetrical. This piece is from the Arts and Crafts era. There are multiple kinds of type on this piece. The thing that attracted me to this photo card was the poise of the man in the photo. He is not exactly smiling but it looks as if he is happy. That is not something you see in photos from this time because of the time frame they had to sit still for the photo to be taken. The photo is warm and progressive for its time. The type is formal and trendy.
