Greeting Cards – Design For Hope
AIGA Raleigh, the Raleigh chapter of the professional association for design, worked together with HP Graphic Arts to collect over 100 greeting cards for patients at St. Jude’s Childrens’ Research Hospital. These illustrations were created to be child-friendly but encompass a wide audience. Emphasis was placed on illustration and typography.
Artsplosure Sponsor Report
I was tasked with creating a flyer that would be given to Artsplosure sponsors with information on the First Night event. The front half was to contain infographics breaking down demographics, costs, etc. while the back would be a collage of images from the event.
Does Art Influence Technology?
I came across an interesting article, “The Impact of Technology on Art” on Artthou.co.uk (URL: http://www.artthou.co.uk/notes/technology-on-art) and it got me thinking about how much art and technology work together.
There is no question that art and technology now coexist in a way that was unimaginable decades ago. For many, advancing technology was seen as something rooted in math and science and the creative fields were largely reduced to physical means. In 2018, it’s easy to see how technology has had a positive impact on many creative fields from art, to music, to photography.
Rather than replace the artist or limit one’s creative scope, technology has opened up options for artists that weren’t available before. As stated in the article, David Hockney was able to use the IPad Pro to create stunning images where, previously, he used oil paint. With emerging and new technology, artists are given the ability to try out new techniques and hone their skills for a new environment. I see art and technology as both ever-changing and both working interdependently will produce some amazing results.
