Aside from the painting being so crisp and smooth, the design is extremely captivating. What makes this piece so interesting, in my opinion, is the drastic shift in line weight. Kaws contrasts the thick and “heavy” rectangles with very thin and fine black lines to construct his famous rendition of Spongebob. </p>http://connormcloughlin.tumblr.com/post/18198228656http://connormcloughlin.tumblr.com/post/18198228656Fri, 24 Feb 2012 13:53:08 -0500<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lzjuvsdHxC1r3eq2xo1_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lzjuvsdHxC1r3eq2xo2_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lzjuvsdHxC1r3eq2xo3_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lzjuvsdHxC1r3eq2xo4_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lzjuvsdHxC1r3eq2xo5_500.png"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lzjuvsdHxC1r3eq2xo6_400.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lzjuvsdHxC1r3eq2xo7_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lzjuvsdHxC1r3eq2xo8_r1_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lzjuvsdHxC1r3eq2xo9_500.png"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lzjuvsdHxC1r3eq2xo10_r1_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><p>patterns…</p>http://connormcloughlin.tumblr.com/post/17773860557http://connormcloughlin.tumblr.com/post/17773860557Fri, 17 Feb 2012 13:19:00 -0500<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lyspn2ZPYi1r3eq2xo1_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lyspn2ZPYi1r3eq2xo2_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lyspn2ZPYi1r3eq2xo3_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lyspn2ZPYi1r3eq2xo4_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lyspn2ZPYi1r3eq2xo5_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lyspn2ZPYi1r3eq2xo6_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lyspn2ZPYi1r3eq2xo7_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lyspn2ZPYi1r3eq2xo8_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lyspn2ZPYi1r3eq2xo9_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lyspn2ZPYi1r3eq2xo10_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><p>All taken from a “Solecollector” magazine…</p>http://connormcloughlin.tumblr.com/post/16954256303http://connormcloughlin.tumblr.com/post/16954256303Thu, 02 Feb 2012 21:30:37 -0500<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lys68iOLDL1r3eq2xo1_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lys68iOLDL1r3eq2xo2_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lys68iOLDL1r3eq2xo3_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><p>I set out to gather the top ten album packagings of 2011, but after viewing many album covers and packagings, I cannot find any that I believe compare to <em>Watch The Throne</em>’s. As a result, I compiled the top ten reasons why WTT has the best album packing of 2011…</p> <p>1. it is a metallic embossed relief design…like c’mon, thats cool…</p> <p>2. as a fashion centered and almost avant garde album, it is only right that is was designed by Riccardo Tisci, a creative director for the French brand, Givenchy…</p> <p>3. Since it was designed by Tisci, it has aided in establishing Givenchy 2011 clothing theme, permitting the design to become not only a piece in music but in fashion…</p> <p>4. the fusion of ye and jay with lions on the packaging is too dope…a clear metaphor of them being the kings of the jungle/rap, thus owning the “throne”…</p> <p>5. the inside of the packaging presents a surprise to the viewer…while the outer design appears to be embroidered, the inside contrasts the outside, appearing to be printed or even painted…</p> <p>6. the disc balances out the grandiose, majestic cover, offering a naturalistic woodgrain visual texture…</p> <p>7. the bold colors, symmetry, and angular lines convey the masculinity and almost regal presence of the two artists…</p> <p>8. gives people another reason to associate ye and jay with the illuminati„,</p> <p>9. the packaging design and theme of the album is tied together perfectly…</p> <p>10. Since WTT was originally released digitally, it gave th listener/buyer something to look forward to, even a reason to purchase the album once again…</p> <div></div> <div>Simply, every detailed was calculated, creating a whole experience out of an album package…</div>http://connormcloughlin.tumblr.com/post/16930237172http://connormcloughlin.tumblr.com/post/16930237172Thu, 02 Feb 2012 14:31:00 -0500<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lxyiocrTVc1r3eq2xo1_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lxyiocrTVc1r3eq2xo2_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lxyiocrTVc1r3eq2xo3_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lxyiocrTVc1r3eq2xo4_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lxyiocrTVc1r3eq2xo5_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lxyiocrTVc1r3eq2xo6_r1_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lxyiocrTVc1r3eq2xo7_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lxyiocrTVc1r3eq2xo8_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lxyiocrTVc1r3eq2xo9_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lxyiocrTVc1r3eq2xo10_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><p><span>Koren Shadmi’s graphic novels have been published in France, Italy, Spain, Israel, and the US.  Shadmi, however, lives in Brooklyn, previously working for clients such </span><span>The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, BusinessWeek, the Village Voice, The Washington Post, The Boston Globe, Spin,  and ESPN the Magazine.</span></p> <p><span>I love his pieces “Ebbflow.” Although I’m not sure of the illustration’s meaning/purpose, the flow of the piece is almost enchanting.

Almost all of Trochut’s work has a cartoon style to it, which does not hinder the type’s effectiveness. Trochut was born in 1981 in Barcelona and later studied graphic design before working as freelance designer and illustrator in 2007. Founded on the idea that “more is more,” Alex continues to gain praise for his type an illustrations, earning a Certificate of Excellence in Type Design. </p>http://connormcloughlin.tumblr.com/post/13614367235http://connormcloughlin.tumblr.com/post/13614367235Thu, 01 Dec 2011 20:34:00 -0500<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_luv2kx2wvp1r3eq2xo1_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_luv2kx2wvp1r3eq2xo2_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_luv2kx2wvp1r3eq2xo3_400.png"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_luv2kx2wvp1r3eq2xo4_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_luv2kx2wvp1r3eq2xo5_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_luv2kx2wvp1r3eq2xo6_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_luv2kx2wvp1r3eq2xo7_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_luv2kx2wvp1r3eq2xo8_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_luv2kx2wvp1r3eq2xo9_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_luv2kx2wvp1r3eq2xo10_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><p>Although it is hard to say how much effort went into designing the cover since it is composed of Andy Warhol’s “Rorschach,” the image ties the entire book together really well.

Although it appears really complex, the soft color of the wood allows the white middle structure to really become the focal point (also allowing the alter to be the main focus).
