Drawing on the walls.

Designs and art today can be inspired by cave paintings from the early ages. Cave paintings were the first visual evidence of people and culture from a past and today they are considered a type of written language. Often commonly found on the cave walls were pictures of large wild animals, abstract patterns, or images of humans depicting a story over time. I chose the images below because both have some type of influence by early cave paintings. Bon Iver's poster below, signifies the "giant wild beast" that was featured in many cave paintings. The colors and texture also represent an older feel with focus on the elephant. The advertisement/billboard under clearly shows abstract patterns and symbols, also including images of people depicting a story. Both of these advertisements whether for a band or for a drink both display something that was commonly painted on the walls many many years ago.

My vision and Inspirations...

I love mixing patterns, colors, and discovering new ways to make things work. I'm often inspired by collage type art and vintage images. As a past time I love searching through magazines and books to find objects or words to cut out. My entire desk at home is one giant collage under a piece of glass. Vintage vogue covers have always caught my eye. I also love the French artwork and cartooning, I have a lot of vintage prints in my apartment.

I am still deciding what my work and voice is. I have done "handmade"/ boutique type pieces, industrial design is not me. As far as what I've done, I'm still working on my portfolio. I'm a little behind from changing my major but with every job we get I feel closer to discovering my voice in design.
