Development of Creative Thought and Structure in Illustration and Graphic Art

Principle 2.Getting rid of assumptions

I have chosen this piece of work by David LaChapelle as it's quite surrealist piece of imagery.

This piece of visual work is trying to communicate some sort of Surrealism.It falls into the category of Photography.

I think it could be the Photographers own point of view in how he is trying to engage with the audience by creating something that looks quite unusual.

I think this piece of work is trying to inform us of the link between Photography and Fine Art and also Surrealism.As Surrealism was quite a big art movement,the photographer is communicating with us through this visual image piece that it can still be seen in art today.

He is also trying to capture our attention as through his work,giving you the impression that you are part of the image.
It also makes you think as you thinking how someone could come through the walls of the room.The visual image piece also confuses you.
The work is for someone who would have an interest in Photography,or someone who has an interest in Visual Communication such as Graphic Design.
I think the target audience is aimed at young people in the age range of 25-30.Someone who has an interest in Advertising and Photographic magazines might be interested in this piece of work.

Sometimes it's difficult to make assumptions on who the work might be for as people are into alot of different things and have different interests.

As the visual piece is photographic and it's not an illustration you might see it as some sort of advertisement in a magazine or next to a relevant article.

If the visual piece had some typography next to it,you might not think it was just a Photograph.But the signs that show us it is,is that it's just a Photograph on it's own.

Principle 3.Restating Problems

I have chosen this piece of work by Jon Burgerman who is an Illustrator.This piece of work is an Illustration.I think it's trying to communicate some form of humour and fun.

I think this is aimed at young children and teenagers who like comics or cartoons or young people who have an interest in cute graphics.

I think this piece of work really engages the targeted audience and captures their attention.This is because it's very vibrant and colourful.The Illustrations are also very detailed to.

I think it's a piece of personal expression as the Illustrations might be characters which some people could relate to.

This kind of image might be used as advertising for stationary and would make some people want to buy it.

I think this image would work very well for branding as it is composed in a nice way.I think the Illustration works very well to capture our attention.Even though the target audience maybe aimed at children and young people,it may also appeal to someone who has an interest in comic books or Illustrated novels and books.

As this piece of work is very vibrant,loud and appealing,it wouldn't appeal to someone who was into the alternative culture.This is because that person has different interests.The way a person dresses can sometimes tell us alot about them.For example someone who might be into the whole trendist and preppy trend might like this piece of work.This gives us a sign.There are alot of different things around us and it's important not to be streotypical.

You can tell this is an Illustration and not a Photograph or an advert as it has no words in it and their is no particular layout for this piece of work other then some Illustrations that have been drawn and put together on one page.Other then this kind of work being put in books and for branding,it may also be used in a magazine on one page as it looks visually interesting to the eye.
