My first day!







I think everyone knows this picture, Van Gogh's Starry Night. He is my favorite artist of all time. His art work changed from his beginning years to his death. I like his art work at his late years with vivid lines.





This is from the movie "Little Miss Sunshine". Even just from the picture, you can kind of tell it is a comedy movie.

Throughout the movie, they use a lot of retro and pop colors like this poster. The color of furniture, actor's costume and this yellow van, etc. The visual effect is very important element of this movie. This picture make us think what they are doing, why they are running. It leads to some curiosity.

The poster with the running people is very simple but has an impact with pop yellow color on the back. The letters are simple, not anything pretty and gets larger to the end. In this case, seems like being simple gets more attention. This movie contains a lot of hidden jokes. Each family member have issues and they all fall apart but at the end of the movie, because of all the accidents and the problems they have, they all become one as a family. Therefore, the picture does not need anything else but them.

  1. I really like this movie poster. The background color is attention-grabbing without being a truly obnoxious shade of yellow and goes well with the color of the bus. I am also impressed with the way that the designers managed to include so much without making it feel too busy.

  3. I too enjoy Van Gogh's work as an artist! Little Miss Sunshine was a good comedic film. I am a huge fan of Steve Carell. One thing I particularly enjoy about this poster is the fact that, like Steffanie, it grabs the attention of the viewers and yet doesn't make you feel as though it is too overwhelming.

  4. (Van Gogh's Starry Night) art work was great. I like the texture and creativity of the image. A lot of texture on whats supposed to be the sky. Also this image has a lot of blue color all over the place. And i can see the houses and i can tell where the church is at. So its great image. I like it, its very artistic and easy to see and understand.
