Italian Laundry Commercial (Lust)

Haha I guess this counts for lust (envy in some cases)

How does advertising provoke lust/envy?

This is the current title for my 4000 word dissertation. Changed into something completely different because of the lack of secondary sources with the previous idea.

I am in the process of deciding which to go for; Lust, or Envy...

They are both common in advertising. Lust being because sex sells...period, so finding sources for this would not be all that hard. Envy on the other hand will not be as straight forward, but it is more interesting, because of the society we live in today, which makes us more materialistic as human beings, envying that which makes other people "high value".

Maybe that's what it is about...gaining higher value for yourself.

Sean Harper - Interview

Here is Sean Harper. A graduate from Southampton University. When asked if a degree is useful in industry this is the answer he gave me.

He also made a good point;

"When you apply for work experience or a job in general, they never ask for a degree, but they ask for 2 or 3 years experience with certain software packages such as; Adobe Photoshop, Illustrator, Flash etc".

Click the video to watch the interview.

Is a Degree important in Art and Design Industry?

Well is it?

This is the question everyone seems to be asking lately. The years we spend learning the rules and skills in areas such as Graphic Design, are very likely not to be used in the future. Not everyone in a course will be succesful.

For the next few months I will be gathering primary and secondary information to help me answer this question. Any information I come across will be posted up here.

Lol

Funny pic, thought I'd postit up.

Joe Madureira

It wouldn't be right if I didn't include this guy in the blog, he is my favourite artist after all.

Madureira has inspired many aspiring comic artists, and thos same aspiring artists, choose to mimic his style in their work, as the bases of developing their own style.

Madureira has worked for the likes of D.C and Marvel, published the master piece, "Battle Chasers", and is now working at his own video game company, with a new game due to be released, "Dark Siders".
