Final Design





Mobile Phone Leads to Death!
Millions of driver’s are talking on the cell phone, checking their email, and even texting while they are driving. Although most drivers seem to understand the message not to “drink and drive,” they are less aware of the risks of cell phone use while driving. Many cell phone users don’t realizing that by taking their focus off of the road they are just as bad as a drunk driver, and when it comes to texting they’re even worse. Oprah Winfrey wants viewers to stop using cell phones in the car and take the NO Phone Zone Pledge.

Phone = Death on The Road
Hobo Std font for the word Mobile Phone Leads to Death!








Don’t Text & Drive
This is what Oprah Winfrey had to say about cell phone use while driving “It is my prayer that this show, this day will be a seminal day in your life,” Oprah says. “Let it be the end, the end of you using a cell phone or sending a text message when you are behind the wheel of a moving vehicle. And until we as a nation decide we’re going to change that, those numbers are only going to go up.” Please sign the No Phone Zone pledge and share this important information with those that you love.

The Effect
Hobo Std for the word of No Phone Zone,
and also the word Don’t Text & Drive.








Your Final Destination
Did you know that when you text or use a cell phone while driving you significantly increase the chances of having an accident? It is the equivalent of having 4 drinks while driving! You are driving with a decreased attention span. It is called "Distracted Driving! “ You are not only putting your life in jeopardy but the lives of many others as well! The show is inclusive of many who have experienced the consequences of someone using a cell phone while driving. The statistics of the many casualties are mesmerizing and alarming!

The Grim Reaper’s Warning
Stencil for the word of No Phone Zone
and Hobo Std for the word Your Final Destination.





FILTER -> ARTISTIC -> FRESCO

Visual Concept Description
Basically three of the design brings out the feeling or meaning that mobile phone might lead to a person’s death. Three of the posters are basically on the road and in the car. This means that, while a person is on the road and driving a car, they must not play with their mobile phone.

Colour Theory Analysis
In my drawing, all the color that I used is the original color that we see every day. For example, human body color, blood color which is red, road which is back and others.

Elements of Design Analysis
Line
In all of my drawings, the lines that I used are the curve and straight line. Even while coloring I used both of this lines. This is to make the picture look more artistic and look more like a drawing.
Value
In all of my drawings, I used the dark color to emphasize the darkness of a person’s life if they use mobile phone when they are driving.
Eye Movement
For the “The Grim Reaper’s Warning” poster, there is eye movement contact which is where they will look at the grim reaper then only to the 2 cartoon man’s eye view.

Principle of Design Analysis
Hierarchy
The first thing that a person will look at will be the grim reaper because it is located in the middle and it has dark colors. Then only they will move on the man who is driving the car and notice he is holding a hand phone on his hand.
Balance
All of the posters that I have drawn is based on the asymmetrical balance drawing.
Proximity
All of the posters that I have drawn can be seen that is it connected to every elements or parts of the drawing.
Scale
There is one poster where it has the scale when you look at it. You can see the grim reaper flying over towards you and you are basically sitting behind the two men’s who is sitting in front.

Vincent Van Gogh - The Starry Night

Vincent Van Gogh
# Dutch post-Impressionist painter
# After years of painful anxiety and frequent bouts of mental illness, he died at the age of 37 from a self-inflicted gunshot wound.
# Loved art from his early age
# In just over a decade, he produced more than 2,000 artworks, consisting of around 900 paintings and 1,100 drawings and sketches. His work included self portraits, landscapes, still lifes of flowers, portraits and paintings of cypresses, wheat fields and sunflowers.







He created movement in the sky in the drawing. He uses the swirling motion of the color in the sky. This shows the artist's interpretation of wind. Besides that, we can also see the repetition of the brushstrokes and paint dabs. In the painting we can see that the stars which are drawn are all yellow in color and its round. Besides that, it is all vary in size and placement vary in size and placement, and have "halos" of light encircling them.

Line 
In art, line are those that maintain the basic form of a shape. It can be implied either vertical or horizontal. Looking back at the picture above, the artist uses the actual lines in the swirling shapes of he stars in the sky. The lines are horizontal and it acts as a directional movement indicators. It leads the viewer's gaze across the top of the composition. These lines are the focal point, or center of interest, in the entire piece, and are the first thing most viewers see when looking at "Starry Night."






Unity
Visual unity is one of the most important aspects of well-developed art and is planned by the artist. Unity provides the cohesive quality that makes an artwork feel complete and finished. When all the elements in a work look as though they belong together, the artist has achieved unity. Looking at the drawing above, the artist is very concerned with the unity of his paintings. In this one, the swirling brush strokes and dominance of cool colors tends to unify the surface and create the feeling that everything belongs together.



Texture and Contrast
Texture is implied in "Starry Night." Van Gogh's heavy brushstrokes cause the painting to appear to have a rough texture. The painted lines in the sky and on the tree in the foreground of the painting look three-dimensional. The texture creates contrast, and makes the hills and stars in the painting seem emphasized and on a different plane from the rest of the elements.


Evocative Use of Color
Artists use color to add emotion and meaning to a work of art. It can help create balance, harmony, contrast and rhythm in a painting. In "Starry Night," van Gogh uses color for all of these purposes. The bright yellow of the stars and moon repeat, creating rhythm and balance in the composition. The yellows contrast against the blues seen in the night sky and the village, which makes the yellow hue stand out more. The balance of dark and light also creates harmony throughout the painting.


Composition
Van Gogh's "Starry Night" is a composition that depicts a starry evening over a French city. The painting uses a nighttime scene, with stars, the moon, trees and a city to evoke comfort and familiarity from the viewer. Even though the night sky is bright and swirling, the composition is somewhat soothing. It contains rhythm, harmony and balance across the canvas, which creates a unified whole.

Expressionism 
Expressionism is art that is more associated with emotion or feeling that with literal interpretation of a subject. Expressionistic art uses vivid colors, distortion, two-dimensional subjects that lack perspective. It is created to express the emotions of the artists as well as produce an emotional response of the viewer.

Expressionism






# was a modernist movement (poetry and painting)
# originating from Germany since the 20th century
# is to potray it in such a way as to express the inner state of the artist# there are few groups of artist such as Der Blaue Reiter ("The Blue Rider"), Die Brücke ("The Bridge"), Die Neue Sachlichkeit ("The New Objectivity") and the Bauhaus School.
# Leading Expressionists included Wassily Kandinsky, Franz Marc, George Grosz and Amadeo Modigliani.
# The style extended to a wide range of the arts, including painting, literature, theatre, dance, film, architecture and music.


Die Brücke



# (The Bridge) a group of German expressionist artists formed in Dresden (1905)
# made use of a technique that was controlled, intentionally unsophisticated and crude, developing a style hallmarked by expressive distortions and emphases.
# often used color similar to the Fauves
# they were also influenced by art from Africa and Oceania
# believed that their social criticism of the ugliness of modern life could lead to a new and better future



#The group was disbanded due to artistic disagreements and the onset of World War I.
