Image on computer screen seem to be blurred camera with pixelated image of lens. Across center, imprinted in white: "(DRAMATIZATION)/ 1/ PLEASE, DO NOT ATTEMPT/ THIS AT HOME".Promotional poster for "Fact TwentyTwo", album from Emigre Music. Intersecting circles in pink, black and yellow in various diameters throughout poster with either simple text or photo of daisy superimposed.  At top, large partial pink circle with superimposed photo of daisy at upper left overlap with small blank black circle and large yellow circle with image of daisy. Small black circle overlaps smaller black circle with "Energy" imprinted in white.  At center "Fact/Twenty/Two" imprinted in black. Around title, title repeated in pink and all other text repeated in yellow, in circle formation. Yellow circle outlined in pink with "cd" imprinted in pink at lower right.  "Energy" in upper right, "Work" in upper middle at left; "Power" in lower left. Design plays on circle motif as well as layering.  Black is top layer while yellow and pink are equal.  Emigre logo, pink slanted ellipse with "EMIGRE" in white, at lower left corner.Poster for the outdoor exhibition, Works in the Open Air, at the Gyeonggi Museum of Modern Art, Ansan (2010). "Works in the open air" appears in a staggered vertical composition. The words are printed in varying shades of blue, with different textures (lined, dotted, etc.). They are integrated into a larger composition of abstract designs (yellow and purple) and Hangul text (red), as if in layers. Beneath these layers, small human figures are lightly outlined against the white background. They are shown in various poses of relaxation and play.

These are successful examples of layering and transparency through there use of varying colored shapes on top of objects with a transparent fill.

Textures

 

With these pictures I would show different examples on how light effects textures.  As a project I would make into a collage with alot of different textures that contrast.

Texture pictures entry # 7 carmen Diaz

when looking for texture it was very interesting to know that there were many different images that show texture which i found pretty amazing. one of the things i enjoyed most about finding texture is that once i took the picture it seemed like it changed into something different.

CUNY Perks

One of the most intriguing CUNY perks that I came across is discounted broadway tickets. I have lived in nyc almost 10 years and have never gone to a broadway show. Knowing that I get a drastically reduced discount encourages me to buy tickets now.

As a student having the NY  Times membership is a very using tool to have.  It’s something that I can use for more than just one class and just for myself as well.
