ART DECO STUDYFirst Study of my “Designer’s Eye”
The Reading
• Studies on Deco
• Cinematography Storytelling
• Fashion and Trend Introductions
• Industrial Design Language
The Blog• Tumblr Inspiration Page • Blogger Writing and Reflection Page
Sketching Through Photography• Art Deco cues became a theme discovered from
discussing Tumblr inspiration page
• I found 3 iconic Deco Buildings in Chicago to photograph as a study
Photo-Sketches
• Photos were taken of any visuals that grabbed my attention
• Then photos were edited in Lightroom to quickly add emotive emphasis
• Then images were narrowed down to 25 best photographs
IMAGE STUDIES
• Many images had high repetition in unbroken parallel lines
• Images were roughly sketched over to study their line properties
• When compared with found images from Tumblr, I noticed parallel lines weren’t the only element that grabbed my attention
• Striking Tumblr images were taken for sketch study
• Main elements looked for were Line, Focal Point, Repetition
• Here I began to see the idea that deco has “spills” that the eye is drawn to through vertical lines
• As I studied more images, I began to see how important focal points were to the interest of the image
• The image to the left keeps the eye traveling through the scene, telling continual story
• The image to the right made me realize the gathering dynamics found in the woman getting out of the taxi on the previous page
