Whats Up/ Mash Up #2

• cool tones cover most of the plane
• horizontal blue lines create repetition 
• warm toned (center form)
• bright yellow and silky figure
• yellow figure creates movement (diagonal lines)
• gradient from brown to blue
• texture gradient from rocks to water
• the white frame keeps your eyes centered
• the dress and dark lips on the figure grasp most of your attention
• the lines on the yellow silk dress build volume and shape

I reassembled the elements of the original page to create leafs and palms. I put it together so the leafs are in a diagonal creating movement. The forms are placed together in close proximity some even overlap creating various amounts of texture, pattern and depth. Unlike the original image this one has more negative space creating its own lines. 

lines- diagonal,curved, wavy

shape- organic and geometric 

color- cool tones; blue and green

texture- silky and wrinkly 

form- organic 

space- colors are positive and all white space is negative

pattern- the repeated leafs and yellow lines are creating rhythm 

balance- the piece is well balanced

Whats up/Mashup

Original Source Image 

This Louis Vuitton’s magazine spread communicates many different messages. The spreads overall value is dark with splashes of red and green details on certain figures. These colors stand out due to the amount of chroma against the spreads overall dark values. Some figures form diagonal lines with their legs and arms on the spread conveying a feeling of movement. However other forms are stiff, still, and identical. The use of both repetition and rhythm allow this spread to balances itself out. It allows the viewer to move along the piece instead of skimping through it.

Louis Vuitton;s magazine spread is very successful on demonstrating the busy and playful life of the model industry. It shows how much is put into production for photoshoots and runways. It shows that for every model there is at least two other people dressing or assisting her. They place the models in (identical) seats that resemble almost an assembly line. They go from hair and makeup to shoes and clothes. They were able to demonstrate how fast paced and focused everyone has to be.

Modified Image

The modified image has a lot of movement. The diagonals and color pop due to the white space in the piece. The contrast pushes the red and greens making them more visible at a first glance. The use of form repetition is evident, however the form does vary in a sense giving rhythm. The consistent of dark tones and neutral blacks make the image cohesive. Their is a strong focal point in the center of the frame. The form has both dark and light tones making it a balanced and well composed shape. The forms are interacting in this piece conveying a feel of chaos.

This image is portraying a sense of tension between forms. They seem to be in conflict this is due to the interrelationship of figures. For example the models seem to be kicking and throwing objects at one another.On the other hand there is two stiff and still figures that are balancing out the commotion. The use of text is also representational of condescending human behavior that reenforces the meaning of the piece.
