Sneaker Freaker

I've been focusing on sneakers lately, the culture, the looks, the style, collecting. etc. All in aid of our latest, and last of the semester, brief. I've been trying to work out an aesthetic for my exhibition poster and banners.

Here's the resulting work so far.

Heels and Ribbons

During my week researching shoes, I found 17th Century Men's shoes quite interesting. Why were men wearing high heels, and why were they decorated like women's shoes?

Early in this period, heeled boots were the fashion, but after the French King Louis XIV, men started desiring shapely legs. (as clearly shown in his portrait)

Here's a link to an informative website. http://www.headoverheelshistory.com/1600.html

Footwear

For the current brief we have been asked to conduct primary research on shoes. One aspect of our primary research is photography and here are some of the photographs I have produced.

Olivier Kugler

After Tony showed some examples of his work in Monday's lecture, I sampled more of this fine gentleman's artwork.

Keegan

I've been looking at Jonathan Keegan for a while now, and he was mentioned in another lecture today. I really like his style and he's a piece I found funny.

Information Graphic - Explaining an Umbrella to a martian

It's 10 minutes until my deadline for this and my crit, so I've got the time to upload my finished infographic  before it is criticised.

Friday draws near

Friday draws near and with it, the Deadline for two projects; 100 Variations, and Information Graphics.

Here  are some pages done in Adobe Illustrator for my Infographic on Umbrella.
