Help please?
Hi People!!!! I’m doing a uni photography project at the moment, and I wanted to do something similar to ‘Times’ Facebook cover from may last year. Todo that I need your help! Would you be able to photo reply of a webcam (or camera) image of your head and shoulders, and make a love heart with your hands somewhere in the shot? I promise it won’t take long. Less than 5 minutes! Please??????
Photo taken by myself.
I have to make a confession.
I am a design book addict.
I went out today, with no intention to buy anything, and ended up with 3 books on design.
Needless to say that my bank account does not thank me.
My bookshelf does.
Shopping is needed
So ZARA Melbourne is opening next week, and I believe that I need to go on a rather expensive shopping excursion.
One could say that now would be the time to start saving……
Wonderful designers and design appreciators of Tumblr. I would love your help deciding my final outcome for my Uni project.
Our brief was to create a logo for a place that represents it. We have to produce this logo in Black, Black an a colour (saturation variations are ok), and then on with more than 2 colours and black. This is what I have come up with.
What I need your wonderful help with is deciding the placement of the text. I can’t decide between on the drop thingy underneath. I would love your impressions. Which would you chose?
Eurovision.
I may or may not be watching Eurovision.
To accompany that statement, I shall say this. France’s guy can sing. Anyone remising Les Mis?
The Artistic Signature?
So while signing for my library card (yes they require are signature now for the pointless reason of proving it’s you. Can’t you just provide photo ID? no.) at the local library, and yes I know it’s sad that I have live my entire life in the one neighbourhood and I only just get the card, and the Librarian guy was like “Thats a very simple signature.”
Now this got me thinking. Do signatures need to art and interesting, or can they just be simple? Do we need to make it look beautiful? Is it a work of art? Or is it just a form of legal means of which we use to get through our life?
As i work in retail, well food retail, and some people decide that they are going to buy $4.5 drink on a credit card, I get to see a few peoples takes on the conundrum (though I highly doubt they all would be actually thinking about the artys content when they made it.) You see people who use a straight line with an almost unidentifiable bump in it. Others have just their initials. Some write it in Chinese, others Hindi. Some have very elaborate signatures that take up more space than the receipt allows and takes several minutes to write.
Legally, we don’t have to have anything fancy. A ‘X’ can surface for somethings. Initials work as well. So whats with all this hype over creating a beautiful signature?
I know people say that their signature “is an expression of themselves.” But really, do they need to? Most people aren’t going to get their signatures hung in a gallery, and for those that do, it will only be to claim the work as theirs.
People go so far as to read into people’s, especially celebratie’s, signatures. “Oh, [insert famous person’s name] doesn’t put in any effort for their fans. They just sign with scrawl.” And on the flip side, “{Famous Person} loves their fans, look how much effort they put into their signature. It even has a smiley face!”
I just can’t see the point of spending such long periods of time perfecting a signature, then spending a good 2 minutes recreating it at the shop registar, and ensuring it imparts some of our inner self onto the recipient, when a simple line with a bump can surface? Is this the new level of superficial?
(sorry for the rant.)
