My four pages from my zine.

The idea that i'm going with is a combination of graffiti artwork and characters from comic books like DC and Marvel. Because i like the two i thought i'l put them together in my zine.

For the quotes idea i thought i'l go with the Alice in Wonderland quotes because i think they are kinda funny to me and the quotes is also a inspiration as well because i like the way the actors use the quotes in the movie, so i thought i'l put them together and try come up with something in my zine.

An example that i'm using for quotes in zine from Alice in Wonderland are (Off with your head and down with the bloody red queen. Those quotes are the ones that i mostly because of how it's presented in the movie.

seraphine pick

I watched a Seraphine Pick dvd and i thought her work is amazing but weird. Because of this one painting that she painted was kind of freaky its called the Goya painting. I think that the Goya painting freaky because Seraphine painted it from her childhood memory. The painting is about a devil or demon eating children witch i think is sick. But i also like her other work compered to the Goya painting because i like the way she references pictures from from all over place like if she likes something that she see's shel take a photo of the image and download it to her computer then print it out and use it for her paintings. 

barbara kruger

Barbara Kruger try's to engage the concept of power through text and image, using only three colours, which is red gray and black. She believes everybody got answers but is more interested in questions, question that provoke doubt. Doubt tempers belief with sanity in her work. I found the reading that we did in class interesting and challenging because of the massive words that she had quoted in the reading.  

PowerPoint By Frances.

Power point on (18/07/11) by Frances was an inspirational because it got me thinking on how to start my zine and also what type of subject to use for my zine. I have not come up with an idea for my zine. In the PowerPoint Frances was saying that books used to be published by hand and how fonts changed though out the years like, Frances say, that bubble writing was popular in the 70s. I think that is true seeing it way back in the dark ages time calligraphy or old english was used most of the time.

Text and Image

I am using these three examples because i think that they interesting like this image of this guy it has text writing on his face. I think its a weird image but also interesting to look at. The grenade bomb i think its funny how the key bard forms the shape of the grenade.  I like the Giraffe and the elephant fighting over the job singe thinking that they acting like a bunch of animals just for a job. This guy looks like a zombi with words sticking out of his face but it also looks like a Van Gulf painting.

The Roman Colosseum

The colosseum was built in Rome, Italy. At the time in Rome the colosseum was a place for a lot of people could sit and watch entertainment.  The entertainment was mostly people killing animals or people killing each other.  The people killing each other where mostly slaves that was not from Rome and was controlled by the rulers in Rome.  The colosseum construction started in 72 AD under the emperor Vespasian and was completed in 80 AD under Titus.

the thinker

The Thinker was created by Auguste Rodin in 1902. In that time Auguste works portray a wide range of human emotions often including defeat, pain and sorrow. The statuesque figure is wrought in the classical style while the pose was Rodin. The Thinker original name is the Poet. The pice was part of a commission by the Mus'ee des Arts De'coratifs the (Museum of Decorative Arts) in 1880 to grace the doors at the entrances to the museum. The Thinker was meant to embody the 1321 work the Devine Comedy. The Thinker was relief in a full-size in 1902 to create the finished statue, though the full-size casting of The Thinker was not shown until 1904. This statue inspired people worldwide for over 100 years and also a icon for the philosophy and the mental discipline.
