I hope this encourages others to watch Squid Game because the thought into visual elements was incredible.

The Power of Visual Storytelling in Content Creation Written By: that Hannah Jones Time to Read: 4 minutes The power of visual storytelling has never been more apparent in today’s digital age. Statistics show that visual content is processed 60,000 times faster than text by the human brain, and 90% of information transmitted to the brain is visual. Just think about the last viral campaign…

Iconological Analysis

Kaye Blegvad, Good Lovers Lie, 2015

Visual Elements   

The specific design of Kaye Blegvad is clearly recognizable by its clean and minimalist styling, where with a few elements are actually said a lot.

This is one of her pieces, which is dedicated to Valentine's Day. It represents a kissing love couple but instead of  their faces they wear a masks. 

Or as Clancy Martin says in The New York Times : " VALENTINE’S DAY is not a celebration of truth telling. God forbid! Relationships last only if we don’t always say exactly what we’re thinking. We have to disguise our feelings, to feint, to smile sometimes when we want to shout. In short, we have to lie.

We all tell lies, and ...we lie particularly often when it comes to love, because we care more about love than we care about most things, and because love causes us more fear than most things do, and caring and fearing are two of the most common reasons for lying.” (Martin,C.,Good Lovers Lie, The New York Times, Feb.,7,2015, online)

The composition is well balanced and clear of any details. The focus falls on this two people who are merged in a hug and this is actually the dominant element.

The negative space around them once more emphasizes the two figures that are merged into one.

Three colours are used: white, black and pink and the use of each of them is symbolic.

There is a balance in the use of colours - none of them is dominant. The figures of the lovers are solved in the two monochrome shades: white / black. Though contrasting and antagonistic, these colours are clear and specific - everyone on their own. The pink is the relationship between the lovers and the common part between them and its choice is also not accidental: according to common beliefs this colour is a symbol of love. This colour is not used in a larger quantity than the other two but it seems to stand out and influence the observer by catching his eyes.

White is the masks and the choice of this colour also creates a certain association with the purity and innocence with which the western society usually associates this colour.

The consistency (surface, texture) here is rather hinted, and it is only intended to convey some idea of the volume of otherwise flat two-dimensional images.

In general, all the above elements:

symmetrically arranged figures in the composition that create a sense of harmony; 

choosing the three colours that interact very well combined with a clear concept, create a very pleasant final impression of the overall harmony and completeness of this illustration.

this started as me just wanting to do a side-by-side of her two holiday outfits and it quickly spiraled from there lol

I actually love how ugly Merlin's outfit is in Merlin. BEFORE YOU YELL AT ME - I love his outfit, I think it's fun, but when you look at every other character, even other peasants, he literally is wearing ill fitting rags. Everything is too big on him (despite being like six foot but whatever) and his silhouette reeks of boring character design.

But like!! Yeah!! He is just Some Guy. I love how they never give him som epic mage robes or a cool outfit for more than thirty seconds. He is unassuming. He's over here, commanding dragons and controlling the weather in the medieval equivalent of stained sweatpants and a night shirt. It's great.

beatles electroniques (1969), dir. jud yalkut & nam june paik [watch]

"BEATLES ELECTRONIQUES was shot in black-and-white from live broadcasts of the Beatles while Paik electromagnetically improvised distortions on the receiver, and also from videotaped material produced during a series of experiments with filming off the monitor of a Sony videotape recorder. The film is three minutes long and is accompanied by an electronic soundtrack by composer Ken Werner, called 'Four Loops,' derived from four electronically altered loops of Beatles sound material. The result is an eerie portrait of the Beatles not as pop stars but rather as entities that exist solely in the world of electronic media." — gene youngblood

The problem is Pixar movies used to have distinct aesthetics. This one's about cars! That one's in the ocean! This is a trash compactor robot in space! Now every single Pixar movie is set in a primary colored fantasy/sci-fi world with anthropomorphic blob creatures that are probably blue. Why would I want to go watch yet another of those.

Controversial opinion: Vox's design sucks

...

Because he should be wearing a NORMAL TIE. not a BOWTIE. It would:

Add to his businessman persona

Give a place for that wifi symbol to go that isn't awkward

Be a good opposing design to Alastor's bowtie

Potentially give the idea he's moved away (or attempting to) from Alastor. Especially if they had it that Vox USED to wear a bowtie.

Also, we joke about it but seriously, why does everyone have a bowtie when it doesn't make sense for some characters like Husk--

I rest my case your honors.

...

Rebuttle:

Vox having the bowtie could signify him latching onto his past with Alastor and not being able to move on

people love to say that the show got bad in later seasons but the show was very obviously extremely bad from the get-go and very clearly being made by people with no real investment in the books

Something something about the chess metaphor and Chris being used as a pawn in Helena and Ramons game.

How ballroom dancing is a bit like a game of chess and Eddie was the pawn in that game.

Both chess and ballroom dancing have clearly defined moves and sequences and patterns and there isn’t much room for ‘going rogue’.

Something something about trophies representing compliance in their game and giving them control over everything

post-pareidolia arvo house - it is situated on the outskirts of sartrill, and is a more crakam-style house, with some accomodations for his human form. the actual ladder down is on the other side of the trunk. the pines that support crakam houses are not the average pinus sylvestris but rather another pine relative, 'ramnfura', which is cultivated especially by harpies as they grow to impressive heights and are very robust.
