Andy Warhol

1) For the first drawing, I decided this illustration because of the simplicity in the lines. I liked that it only took a few lines to create the curves of the hair which would usually be the highlights if it was colored in the image.

2) The second illustration, I liked it because it was similar to the first one but a little more sketchy. In this illustration, I can tell what each object is with very few lines.

3) The last image is my favorite one because the image shows a cat in color with very few lines. When Andy created this illustration, it shows a personality with the cat which a sneer but happy look.

His portfolio website is simple and clean. He uses icons for his work and two colors to represent his website. It was easy to navigate to each picture and read the information for each piece of work. Alejandro's portfolio interested me because the simplicity and his work.

Okay, this one was very interesting! I like the creativity and the weirdest of this website. It is one website that wants you to explore,listen,touch, and move. The whole website is in flash. The beginning of the website is a search and find game to find tools for the tool box. I think the website has some flaws like using the tools from the tool box and sometimes stuff overlapping, but it does not distract from the whole concept of the website. Other than the few problems the designer shows his personality very well in his website.

He is a graphic designer who does logos,graphics,web,and advertising. His portfolio interested me because the color choices,simple shapes, and creative graphics. Between his phrases and graphical designs he tries to make it fun for the viewer.The website is simple like some other designer websites, but it works for what he creates in his work.

Yodabaz


Yodabaz is an online designer.When I noticed this website, I like the website because he uses flash at the beginning to show a video of himself in the background and the words pop up afterwards. When navigating into the website to look at his portfolio, each image that you pick get enlarged with information and the other images fall to the bottom which I thought was unique and different from what I have learned in other classes.So the creativity and the simplicity is the key.

Kevin Lucius



Kevin Lucius is a graphic designer who lives in Chicago. He does prints, web design, logos, and sign designs. He incorporates his designs into his website by making it look like it has been put together with torn paper and scotch tape. Kevin's websites and logos are more towards the traditional side of graphic and web design, but he does do other artwork that shows who he really is as an artist. The prints are weird and funny. He puts together different images as an image to make it look weird. Most of his work consist of different animal heads with human or mechanical bodies. The color choices are light for the background and more bold for the characters in the front. The prints remind me of the photo collage by Hannah Hoch during the Dada movement and photomontage that we use now.

magneticNorth




MagneticNorth's designs are more based off of the digital design than graphic design. They do a lot of websites that have colorful colors and photos. They also do a combination of digital media and graphic design to together to create a project that is unique to the eye. The website is interesting because when the viewer enters their page they have to draw to discover their projects in their website. Magnetic North gives instructions on how to see them, delete them, cancel them. Their is a mark for seeing the news that they have to offer too. The website is interesting to me because I like the simplicity of viewing their work with just the strokes of certain lines.

Gomedia





Gomedia is a small company in Cleveland, Ohio that gets away from the traditional design ways and design their own personal art. They do logos, illustrations, web, motion, type and many more. I picked this website because the designs of their artwork is personal from each artists that they have in their company. I like seeing companies who do not do the traditional designs that we get droned in our head from professional companies everyday. The layout of the website is simple and very informational for the designs and who they are as a team. Some of the comments from their clients are thanking them for giving them what they want with a artistic feel. My favorite part of the company's work is the illustrations.
