Rams Island

This is Rams Island. I choose it because it has great detail and makes you wish you were there. Some of the little kids would even be scared of it. It is a great painting.

these incredible computer-art are categorized as abstract expressionism.
they are very interesting and as in the second one, you may see
things that are not there from someone else's perspective.
now they might not be considered cartoons, but these pieces of art are
computer-generated designs that really make you think about every aspect of art.

Illustration Blogs

When I was looking for a blog to post on here I found two pretty cool ones...

http://markerbored.blogspot.com/
This first one is a pretty chill blog that I found. The artist does his entire work on a white board. This whole blog is full of pictures of the drawings he has made on a whiteboard. I saw it and just thought it was kind of neat. These drawings aren't just simple doodles, they are the ENTIRE whiteboard. Idk. I really liked it. =)

http://stickysketches.blogspot.com/
This second one is pretty sweet too. Everything the author draws is on paper the size of sticky note! It is so sweet! Like drawings have so much detail on sucha small piece of paper. All the different sticky notes just seem pretty sweet.. and some of them are really funny. =)

i thought this picture was pretty sweet. Due to the vivid colors used, the multiple drawings withing the art piece, the sense of reality meeting the unreal.

overall i thought this picture

was prett awesome!

THis picture was less realistic though it was made up of mostly real object. i liked the shadowed copy in the background which really brings out the extravagent foreground details.

Mike Shinoda, lead singer of Linkin Park is actually a really good artist. This is my favorite work by him. Is a painting, with almost cartoonish features.

I like the way this design looks. Its called "Little Planet". Its simple yet there are plenty of things going on. I like it because its cartoony but it also shows what goes on in this fake planet. Its fun to look at.

I like this illustration because the artist uses popart which makes very interest and funny. Also I think that the artist well uses layout. It seems more than one dimension.

My Favorite Illustration Blog

This is my favorite illustration because it gives two different feelings.
The background with the color and the vertical lines gives an urban/city vibe.
The image in the foreground is a tropical looking image and it gives the idea of paradise in the city.

this font is very 1800 looking.

this is very modern looking

VERDANA is a font most used by companies.

LUCIDIA GRANDE is a font that is very comic looking

This font is a combination of decorative and script because it is in the form of graffiti which people draw/write in. It is also serif. It is my favorite because it’s fun and looks funky

This is decorative because on the top of the letters is frost/snow and the letters look icy.

This is script because it looks like someone wrote it, and because it looks like my handwriting: messy and somewhat random.

This is sans serif because it has no lines off of the ends of the letters.

This is serif because it has little lines off of the ends of the letters.

i like this font because its fancy yet gothic, its a blend of the two that i never thought would be possible

starsky and hutch....need i say more?

this font is cool because it symbolizes a way of expressing yourself. its not just a "font", but something that belongs to someone personally. i dont know, its just a cool font.

Fonts

Arial: Arial font is a pretty commonly used font. It's one of my favorite fonts to use. Even though its a sans-serif font, it's pretty easy to read and easy on the eyes.

Courier-new: courier-new is a very retro font, it looks as though you're typing with a typewriter. It has smooth letters with smooth serifs.

Verdana: Verdana is a wider font than most other fonts. Its pretty smooth, easy to read. It looks good, but I wouldn't want to read a whole block of text with it.

Georgia: Georgia looks like a classic font that would be good to type papers with. It's a typical typing font such as the Garamond font and Times New Roman.

Vladimir script is a very formal, eloquent font whose
un-capitalized letters (by nature of script font) are very
close together and are connected to each other.












Loft is a very simple, narrow, and THIN sans serif font.


Stemple Garamond is an ordinary serif font. There is nothing
really special about it, and it resembles Times New Roman.


Old Caps is a decorative font the embraces both an old and modern look.



Space Toaster is by far my favorite of all-time. I don’t know why,
but I fell in love with it when I was little and have so ever since.

5 Fonts

Miedinger

Sans Serif: This font uses bold faced letters to emphasize power and importance, this is a great font for headlines.









Clarendon

Serif: This font uses overemphasis on the serifs to make it both decorative and easy to read.









Sweetheart Script

Script: This script font is simple enough to read easily, yet it easily flows together to make it look very unified.









Kid Writing

Decorative: This font is designed to look like the writing of young children, it is a useful font for use with children.









Zoinks

Best Overall: This is a decorative sans-serif font that is easy to read and also eye-catching

Font Design

This font is Serif because the letters have strokes or teardrops. I like this font design because it looks very simple but also very artistic. This font would be used to for cover page of a book or some headlines.

This font is a type of Sans Serif because all letters have same thickness. This font is used for advertising or headline because its thickness and colors are interesting enough to catch its readers’ eyes. I love this font because it looks so cute with shortness of the letters and their beautiful colors.

This font is a type of Decorative because it looks very artistic and different from normal fonts in a book. I like this font design because it personalizes each letter and makes the letters look friendly. This font would be used for cards because it looks cute and gives some funny and cheerful feelings to readers.

This font design is a type of Script. Although it looks very simple, it successfully makes letters look fun with blank space and lines of each letter. For example the first letter, T, has some blank space between its horizontal and vertical line. Also curved lines of each letter create some beauty in the letters. This letter would be used for cover page of children’s books.

This is my most favorite font design, and it is calligraphy. I love this font design because each letter has some movement and various thicknesses. I think this font design also makes letters as an individual art work.

Font Assignment

(This font is called "Bokonon." It's in the Serif category because the upper case letters have the curve at end. It is also in my opinion Decorative becuase it is like a bold pencil writing and is very "scratchy", but still legible. This font is the best in my opinion because is is both Decorative and Serif which in my opinion makes a good team for fonts.)








(This font is called "Zapped." It is called zapped because it looks like there is electricity going through it. It also have some italic in it which in my opinion doesnt look that good, but its still alright I guess. Each symbol that is in zapped font has some boldness somewhere in it and I think that is very nice and make each of them more recognizable. I would put this font into the Sans Serif category because clearly ther is no curve on either of them.)




(This font is called "Airstream." This font is in the Script category because this font is writable and common for some people. This font is simple and in my opinion it is plain and give the mood like "heres my writing and its neat and script," something along those lines. But it is a nice font.)





(This font is called "Stardust." It is definetely in the decorative category because after each symbol, there is a star. The letters in general are simple to read and plain, but with the stars, it is more impressive and outgoing.)





(This font is called Edmund. It is in the Sans Serif category because it is not fancy and has no curves. It is simple and is western in my opinion. It is like the heading of a old day western bar or hotel or something. It is also bold with a heavy stroke.)
