KINETIC- The Goonies

KINETIC

Lane Smith

Lane Smith is an American children's book illustrator and author. He illustrated a book by Jon Scieszka called 'The True Story of the Three Little Pigs' which I think is an amazing story, it is basically the story of the three little pigs but from the wolfs point of view.

I also love the story of the tree little pigs as a band named 'Uglu Kid Joe' have written a song about it, interpretating it in there own way which I really enjoy listening to and hopefully one day I would like to illustrate it or possibly do an animation from it.

Tim Burton Movie Posters

I love most work done my Tim Burton, I think he is very imaginative and interesting, I even love his movie poster, which i'm not too sure if he had designed them personally, but they include his characters and scenery so I think they are pretty interesting.

Even his dark work, and 'black comedies' are very imaginative, with crazy characters, unusual and inventive characters which all have different qualities.

His animations are even more imaginative. Using bright colours in scenes which in reality are no so bright, for example, Corpse Bride (to the left) is about the Land of the Dead, yet, the land of the dead according to Burton, is bright and colourful, and the real world is a dark and gloomy place.

These are two films that are happier and brighter, but have a darker side to them. I love the Alice and Wonderland movie poster (to the left) as there is so much going on it in and it is so detailed, also including some of the interesting characters.

These are two of Burtons, dark and 'scary' movies, which I think comes across in these movie posters due to the darker colours, with the colour red, which usually comes across as scary or dangerous etc etc.

Andrzej Onegin

Andrzej Onegin, another Polish poster designer. (As you can tell i'm really into Polish poster artists and designers)

Once again, loving the bold black blocks of shape and the unusual colour scheme, works really well in this era of design. Unusual and surreal figure designs. Bright bold background colours, grabs your attention. I am also keen on the pattern and repitition in some of his images.

Andrzej Klimowski

Andrzej Klimowski, polish poster designer.

Designs interesting
posters, using collage, creating random and unusual images. Very surreal and abstract way of working.



I used the images above as reference for my narrative sequence project. I think they are very interesting due to how random they are and that you could come up with many stories surrounding these images.

The image to the left: I find this image very interesting, the colours scheme works really well and the amount of space left makes the hand print image stand out effectively.
The yellow image below, again I find very interesting, the colours used are very striking and eye catching, makes you want to look at the image. Also the character created is very unusual and surreal.

Jan Mlodozeneic

Jan Mlodeozeneic was a Polish graphics designer. He worked in posters, drawing, book and publication design, illustration.
In these posters I love the use of thick black outlines, simple shapes and they give off a rough feeling and hey are very 'in your face' which is why i am attracted to them. The images with the pink and white backgrounds do not have black outlines around the shapes and figures, i still think this works well as the colours make them stand out instead of the outlines.
