#LUBALUKOVARESEARCH

Luba Lukova is an designer and artist, her thought-provoking posters show her ideas of what she expects that the world can be changed. Her creations are most about themes of humanity and injustice worldwide.

Lukova is internationally recognized, New York-based as one of the most original image-makers working today. Her posters tend to have economy of line, colour and text to present essential themes. Her messages reflects the human condition, fundamental fairness, and justice. Her use of striking, metaphoric images gives the viewers art to not only appreciate visually but intellectually.

In my opinion, her work is incredibly powerful and tought provoking. She uses just a few elements to tell what she wants to show the viewers. In her art, less is more. The graphic elements have fine details but the intent is still clear. She presents incredible arts using her simplicity.

According to the Gestalt Law, is correct to say she uses in most or her works, refication, trying to add in the original images, addition of another images that she wants to warn the viewers about.

The consistency of her works are functional, the meaning and action is consistent to reinforce the learnability and understandability of what she wants to warn the viewers. And also, her style and appearance is repeated to enhance recognition in all her posters.

Is common that she uses not more than 2 or 3 colours, in each poster, and the colour normally, is just to accentuate the idea of what the poster is showing. 

Her works: 

Brainwashing - In my opinion, Lukova show the viewers how the media can destroy your own toughts, tastes, "shaping" people's brain in the way that media wants.

Gestalt law: reification 

Peace - In my opinion, Lukova shows that for we have peace, we need to stop the war. 

Gestalt law: reification, figure and ground, similarity, proximity.

Ecology - In my opinion. Lukova try to call attention to the human destroying our nature. The importance that we need to stop deforesting our world. 

Gestalt Law: reification

#COLORTHEORY

After traced one landscape photograph in Illustrator, I have created a group of abstract forms to show some of the elements of colour theory.

#GESTALTLAW

According to the Gestalt Law, I made my examples in Adobe Illustrator of the 6 principles: 

Similarity: the geometric forms are similar, considering a group. 

Continuation: When your eyes follows the line and curves like in the arrow. 

Closure: When even that is missed information, you can understand what is the object.

Proximity: Placed together, they tend to be perceived as a group.

Figure & Ground: When the object mix with the background, giving you two types of images. 

Reification: Can be specified when you add information to one subject that is not in the original image.

#ESCHERRESEARCH

Mauritos Cornelius ESCHER was a talented graphic artist who made mathematical inspired woodcuts, lithographs and mezzotints.

Using reality, geometry and tridimensional works, his arts are famous in all the world. 

The 3 illustrations that called my attention and according to the Gestalt Law are:

Continuation.. the eye is compelled to move to one subject to another.

Reification..addition of things that are not in the original images.

Continuation.. the birds and fishes are compelled to move to one subject to another.

Proximity: even that they are separated shapes, they create one unity, one group. 

Proximity: The two main subject are close, creating a group, with the proximity.

Similarity: The objects are sharing visual characteristics, automatically creating relationships, seeing as a group.

#FONTRESEARCH

I’ve chosen 6 types of fonts that I liked and 3 types of fonts that I don't like it.

The 3 types of fonts that I like are:

   One of the reasons that make me like it of this font is that the lines are pretty clear and thin. I like the curvature of the letters, reming an writing letter. I think that can be an useful font to animes or cartoons. 

   What most called me the attention in "Afterglow"is that most of the fonts that I've searched or they are pretty "formal' without curvy lines or they're more 'typing' letters. I like the composition of this one because it's a mix of both most common types of fonts. 

   Simple and easier to read! This is basic what 'Henave' represents to me. It's a pretty useful font, I imagine being in a name of a Magazine, or in a brand's name. I like the solitude of the lines.

The 3 types of fonts that I don't like are:

   My first thought was, "What is written there?" haha Besides that I like this type of fonts, curvy fonts once that they the lines are very long, starts to be confused to read.

   At this point I need to say that I believe that each font could be good at one point, but I'm analysing in general situations, like this one here, 'Shine Brush' I think that could be good for a cartoon, but not too much used in regular cases.

   I think that the idea of the hearts is good but I don't specially like the 'Nabilla' font. The construction of the line is too plain. It could be something pretty good but the final art it didn't impressed, at all.

What's up?

   First of all, let me introduce myself! 

   Hey folks, I'm Thais, 25. I've been living in Australia for 4 years and it has been a dream and also a learning for me all this journey. Since that I've decided to move to Australia my dream was to study a bachelor of Digital Design and who I am! Couldn't be more happy.

   Back home, in Brazil, I'm graduated in Photography and my passion is Portraits and Fashion photography.

   I love spend my time on outdoors, reading a book, planning my next trip and enjoying with the people that I love. 

   Besides this year have started pretty difficult, let's try to enjoy and learn the most that we can. 

XOXO
