Woohoo last and final blog!

Well it's the end. And we had two final presentations on Friday. One about Kyle Cooper and another on Shepard Fairely. Kyle Cooper was a rather interesting designer. Saul Bass was a huge influence on him and his style. His work was highly stylized and liked to experiment with typography. His typography ranged a lot; from playful to unique type. He worked on a lot of movies, and I really enjoyed watching all those movie clips in class. Lastly, was Shepard Fairely. The guy known for getting sued over making an Obama poster. He started to design when he was a teenager. He had the skate and punk influence on him as well. Fairely is really well known for the Andre the Gian stickers as well. He would post them everywhere around town. His style is unique in his own way. It has that Art Deco look with the sunbursts, but he also liked to keep it dark with uses of black and red. He had hidden messages in his designs as well. Bold colors and San-serif fonts were another characteristic to define him. I guess he just has his own unique style along with every other designer we studied in the past month.
