Context of Practice 11/11/11

The task was to find 5 examples of imagery that we found aesthetically pleasing. They didn't have to be pieces of graphic design but what we personally liked...

Unrealistic scenes by Professional Freelance Photographer NATHAN SPOTTS
The scene looks as if it was created by merging scenic photographs, I love the smoothness of the transition, from the light clouds to the dark clouds and the slow fade of colour into the black sky. All of these things make the photograph look somewhat real.


Work collection by Michael Kutsche
The artist specialises in film and character design


 I admire the talent that went into these designs, at first they look like extremely detailed paintings, but as I keep looking at them I think they've also been created using design programmes, but maybe that's just because they look so perfect.


 The amazing thing about his work is that they look like actual photographs creating realism with the audience, he really captures the mood and lighting of the setting creating picture perfect designs. In the image below the light shining through the hood radiates the characters face, almost forcing you to look at the detail in the weathered mans face, the eyes slowly draw you in and create a mood.


Layouts, illustrations & info graphics by Francesco Muzzi
Specialising in Editorial design and Illustration. They're so aesthetically pleasing to look at because they're so easy on the eye, When I see this set of images, I'm not even considering what the text might say but admiring the style and layout choice of this artist.




Recent Illustrations by Jonny Wan
Although the artists using different directions he still maintains his experimental style.




Anti-Smoke pack by Reynolds and Reyner
Daily people are dying throughout the world of diseases, caused by smoking. This package concept shows how close this problem is to us. As every day each smoker carries this problem in his/her pocket.They carry death.



When choosing aesthetically pleasing designs I base it on the 5 aesthetics that follow: 
  • Intricacy
  • Imagination
  • Colour use
  • Boldness
  • Graphic
5 experiences I'd like to achieve....

Admire the aesthetics in a city surrounded by culture and vibrancy, somewhere like Beijing.  Were the city is renowned for it's palaces, temples and huge stone walls.


Be inspired by other aspirational designers to do something different! 


Attend a convention or exhibition and be blown away by the imagination of a design. 

Collaborate to create an equally brilliant design. 

I used to work in a kitchen as a starter chef, so it would be pleasing if I found some way to exquisitely lay/stack or perch the food on a plate to massively improve the aesthetics of it.
