Different Views

           So, I would say today has been pretty good for me. Originally, I never intended on writing a blog this week. However, after learning about different views, and realizing how it relates to design, I had to! You see, people may come to general conclusions, but everyone has a separate frame of reference. They each like a unique flavor of ice cream if you will!

             Imagine you look into a telescope, and you see an island off in the far distance. You then hand it to your friend who has poor eyesight. Instead, they just view a blur because they can't use the telescope as well. That's more or less what I mean. To build off my post, 'The Power of A Symbol ' not everyone will see what you see. Even if it may be a similar result, it won't be The same.

           What does this mean for graphic design though? Where exactly am I going with this? Well, since everyone views things differently, you need to do your best to interpret your thoughts. You need to show what you want them to see. Caution in showing is highly advised, even if there won't be sure conseqeunces. If only because we each look from a special angle. So, we need to help others see from ours, and try to see things from theirs.

          So with that, thank you again for reading. I'm really loving this class so far, and I hope it continues to help me in my goals. Other than that, please comment below. If not, I hope you at least share this around, or still offer feedback! Tell me what you thought, check out my other posts, and as always, stay tuned! 

Overlooked Classics

              What would you consider an overlooked classic? Would that be a movie that did bad in the box office? Could it be an artist that worked mostly in magazines? Perhaps you're thinking of third entry in a trilogy, forced to follow-up a phenomenal second act? There are many things and people that for this category. In terms of design, you sadly see it much more than you should.

 

            I find some of the best designs or artists to unnoticed because of their position. Maybe they stick to InstaGram and put everything there, or stick to only designing for an ad agency. A sad fate for some, but if they're happy, and they're getting what they want, well then good for them. They shouldn't feel forced to share with the world because they were told to. At the end of the day, I would rather be secure financially, and doing small drawings as a hobby. It's the better option over fishing for attention everyday, in a place you won't find it.

  

             So, I believe sometimes it's better to go overlooked. You can still keep your identity, but work professionally in the design business. That being said, I would like to share some classics in this category. Not because I'm forcing them to be noticed, but because... I want to share my interests with you.

First, we have the movie Rock & Rule! A musical about a post-apocolyptic future, that went through studio problems to say the least. Somehow though, it came out as a trip that I think should be experienced. Thank you Retro Rerun for putting this in YouTube for the world to see.

Next, we have the game Deadly Premonition. I've talked about this game before, as it helped inspire my music poster. It should be said however that it really is a fascinating playthrough. May not be the most well-polished experience, but I loved it all the way through! Credits to Wikipedia for the image.

Finally, we have the man, Richard Williams. Animation director for Who Framed Roger Rabbit, contributor on several other animated films, and the mind behind The Thief and The Cobbler. I bring him up here as I feel he's just a guy who doesn't get enough attention. That and the aforementioned Thief and the Cobbler went through studio problems too, and was his main dream. Just thought I'd give the guy a shout-out. Image courtesy of Wikipedia again.

Well, with that, I am done for today. Thank you for reading, comment below, and stay tuned!
