Pop Art + Nintendo

My Theory and History of Visual Design final project asks us to take an Artist/Movement/Style and create our own work using principles of the chosen preference.

Pop Art has always stuck out, in a sense, and intrigued me. I decided to do a little more poking around with Lichtenstein and Warhol, getting a feel for the time period and it's impact. It's truly mind-blowing stuff. I've also loved reading comic books since I was a kid, and it may sound silly, but Lichtenstein's comic-esqe style really drew me in due to that reason. His style feels so nostalgic and gritty. Oh, and, Warhol is pretty sweet too. ;)

I decided to take a little bit of Lichy, a little bit of Warhol, a little bit of ME, and a little bit of Nintendo and mix 'em up. The result is below...

I really like that piece dude, I think your class will like it (unless they're Sony fanboys, in which case, you might want to mail your work in :ph34r:)

Well, the main Warhol derivation lies within the layout of the 4 boxes in conjunction with the contrast of the 4 different background colors of these boxes, that's about it. So, you can sleep easy. ;)

Also, the presentation went great! I nailed it! It was fun seeing the audiences reaction... ^_^

It's really great when I can get feedback and conversations started up here from you guys when I post my work. I love pitching to a larger audience, not just to my classes and friends IRL. Thanks guys! ^_^

You can expect more work sooner than later! ;)

    @SylverReZ, 1) except final fantasy 16. 2) why would I have a console's whole catalogue if most of the games are either shovelware or terrible games?
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Kind of a waste, but the allure of all those games over 100,000
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Some shovel ware with low ratings you might enjoy more than the ratings would sugest

    Cruisn on the Wii is one of my personal examples of that, it's considered one of the worst games of all time, I loved it and completed it several times.

    The trick for me was to go into the settings and crank up the Wiimote sensitivity to the max and it gets twitchy but you can win that way lol
