#slide 1

[shitpostingfromthebarricade]

Grantaire runs his first (and probably last) meeting. It goes about as well as can be expected.

My first ever posted fanfic!! Please be gentle/leave feedback.

I kept it pretty simple, didn’t want to do anything big or complicated for my first post.

Slide 1. I touched it up a bit and made a few minor changes such as combining the shapes of the rounded rectangle and eclipse used to make the logo into one and resizing it to give it a more polished and neater look.

This was my experimentation with making the Logo as well as the layout of the title slide and making it work together. While I loved the layout of the first slide, it didn’t give me enough space to include additional text. I was also going to go with just a simple eclipse for the logo with text inside but I added the rectangle and thought it made it look more interesting.

The reason for the simplicity of the logo was due to the fact that the illustrations themselves as well as the hand drawn font are very detailed and fancy. If I was to make the logo more intricate, it would have been overkill and the focus would have been lost.

I also really liked the layout seen in the third picture, but once again the problem was not having space to include additional text. I did try shrinking the illustrations to provide more room but it just looked very odd and I had to shrink it down alot to get space for additional text.

I decided to just use one of the illustrations instead of the roof tops of the two as I had intended. I remembered from class that drawing a close up of an object can increase the dynamics of a composition so I used a close up of Villa Maria to cover roughly half of the title slide. Thus I had the other half in which to put my logo as well as the additional text. I also included a simple border which I created with a rounded rectangle with a stroke and no fill.

As you can see the font as well as its colour changed in the eclipse with the additional text. In a discussion @silverserpent suggested that a serif font would work better so I used Garamond Pro instead of the sans serif Gadugi font that I used for the word “Caribbean” in the logo. I found it did indeed look better and I also changed the colour to that of the background of the slide to make it more readable.

The reason I used the Gadugi font in the logo was because my own font was a serif font and I knew certain sans serif and serif fonts go well together so I has experimented with various sans serif fonts until I got a desired look. I also added a thin line under the word “Caribbean” to subtly increase visual appeal.

Eyepiece, 1979-83

Michael Naimark

16mm film installation projected onto a rounded canvas

Much of Michael Naimark’s work deals with consumption and the relation between reality and unreality. His work Eyepiece is no different, the installation consisting of unnerving eye footage being projected onto a rounded screen. The second version, titled Computer Eyepiece, was reshot with live footage for a different show.

Naimark’s portfolio prides itself on disorienting the viewer, and forcing them to question the optical illusion style technology he puts forth. In a piece titled Talking Head Projection, also from 1979, Naimark projects footage onto a face shaped canvas, this time with the addition of audio. This floating head creates an illusion of AI technology that was impossible for the time.
