This is a post for Paul Brokenshire&#8217;s Design 121 class, where we were asked to find 3 examples of an illustration or design piece and elaborate which element, from the ones we had gone over together in class, each piece relied on the most.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Space<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>My first example for this blog entry is this illustrated movie poster for the 2019 Jordan Peele movie \u201cUs\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-style-default\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"330\" height=\"524\" src=\"https:\/\/eportfolios.capilanou.ca\/sophiaspanosmcgill\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/13254\/2021\/09\/Picture1.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-40\" srcset=\"https:\/\/eportfolios.capilanou.ca\/sophiaspanosmcgill\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/13254\/2021\/09\/Picture1.jpg 330w, https:\/\/eportfolios.capilanou.ca\/sophiaspanosmcgill\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/13254\/2021\/09\/Picture1-189x300.jpg 189w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 330px) 100vw, 330px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The main element that this poster relies on is space, specifically white space. Here, the illustrator Cealin White fills the centre of the piece with two black mirrored profiles of a head. It imitates an ink blot, with the emptiness of the white background forcing the viewer to focus on the centrepiece and realize that the right head is slightly altered.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Line <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For my second example, I chose an illustrated book cover of novel \u201cthe night ocean\u201d by Paul La Farge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-style-default\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"361\" height=\"545\" src=\"https:\/\/eportfolios.capilanou.ca\/sophiaspanosmcgill\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/13254\/2021\/09\/Picture2.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-41\" srcset=\"https:\/\/eportfolios.capilanou.ca\/sophiaspanosmcgill\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/13254\/2021\/09\/Picture2.jpg 361w, https:\/\/eportfolios.capilanou.ca\/sophiaspanosmcgill\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/13254\/2021\/09\/Picture2-199x300.jpg 199w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 361px) 100vw, 361px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Will Steahle\u2019s illustration relies heavily on line, using wavy, repetitive and horizontal lines to represent the water on the bottom half of the cover, from which an outstretched hand emerges. Similar lines, although arranged in a spiral, converge to the centre of the cover, filling the rest of the illustration. They simultaneously create a sky and a celestial body, by reducing in size before coming to a stop completely.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Scale<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In my final example, I chose another book cover. This time it is an illustration by Edel Rodriguez for \u201cThe Man in the Woods\u201d by Shirley Jackson.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-style-default\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"450\" height=\"606\" src=\"https:\/\/eportfolios.capilanou.ca\/sophiaspanosmcgill\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/13254\/2021\/09\/image-4.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-43\" srcset=\"https:\/\/eportfolios.capilanou.ca\/sophiaspanosmcgill\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/13254\/2021\/09\/image-4.jpeg 450w, https:\/\/eportfolios.capilanou.ca\/sophiaspanosmcgill\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/13254\/2021\/09\/image-4-223x300.jpeg 223w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 450px) 100vw, 450px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Contrasting scales is the element that this example relies the heaviest on. Here, the geometric trees lining the outside of the cover, create with their outline the shape of an enormous man, that towers over them. Without their explicit lines, the man would be invisible to the viewer\u2019s eye.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hi!
