Virtual Shopping

Virtual £500 to spend.

These set of images are £200. I like it because it mixes rich bright colours with grayscale images, the affect of that is really beautiful, the offset each other well, also I like how they're evenly positioned so that there is four on the top and four on the bottom, it makes you look at them as if they're fighting against one another while still being complimentary to each other. I would display this work in an office environment, I believe it is subtle and wouldn't distract anyone from their work, it also brings a sense of reaching for the top.

This artwork is £60. I really love this piece of work, its beautiful colours and mix of angular and softly rounded shapes reminds me of childhood. The colours clash with one another but in an intriguing way, it's almost like they invite you in and then push you back in a playful way. It's also fun and gives a real sense of movement, I imagine it being a background and the shapes jumping about across the screen. I would display this artwork in a drama studio, I believe it could inspire people to release energy and act confidently just as a child does.

This photograph costs £120. I'm encapsulated by this image, the soft and pale skin of the woman in contrast with the beautifully made and textured scarf gives for an angelically rugged image. The restrictive brace like scarf holds the woman as if in a cage, as if she's a bird wanting to be freed, the scarf colours mimic this feeling of flight and wanting to go. I would display this image in a school because I believe that this images encourages thought which is what schools aim to do.

Displays

I drew a variety of ways that people had presented their artwork in the show.

They way that this display is set out gives a very organic feel to the artwork. The way that everything is for sale makes every part of the display accessible. 

The way that the artwork is placed on a blank white wall makes the eyes attention go to the art. It makes the colourful artwork stand out by not over complicating the background. 

This display is interesting as it brightens the film, image or artwork and presents it in a crisp and unique way that can't be achieved through hanging a piece of art on a wall,

Buisness Cards

This artists business card uses a well known painting image of a
paint chip to promote their work as a painter. This gives a clear
message and it's very obvious what the card is for. To improve
this business card the word 'PAINTER' could be written in
darker font because from far away you wouldn't be able to see
it well.

This business card uses a unique style in order to promote their
business. The pop-up image gives an edge to this business card
making it stand out among others. To improve, their could be
more information as to what the business is as its currently unclear.

This business card uses artwork and bold, bright colours to
promote their business. This gives a clear indication of the
sorts of things the company does, despite this, the card could
be improved by adding more information, currently it's fairly
sparse and the writing on the back is small and hard to read
from a distance.

This business card is extremely unique and looks very expensive
the beautiful cut out pattern on the worn down wood makes for
a business card that will stand out. I'm sure many people would
be attracted to the business card for its beauty but the expense is
probably quite high, also there isn't much information at all which

would be quite confusing. 

This business card is clever as it could be attached to a lot of
things meaning people are unlikely to loose it. The tag style of
the card is innovative and pretty, sadly the downfall of this card
is the fact that the design on the card itself doesn't stand out, it's
not unique or eye-catching.

This business card is very fun and uses an extremely well known
motif to promote the business. This works very well and I can see
people holding on to this card as it's interesting and innovative and
they may feel excited by the prospect of showing people this unique
and fun card. I don't think this card could be improved. its brilliantly

thought out and executed and I'd be happy to own it.
