My Greatest Inspiration

Decent Essays
Stefan Sagmeister is my number one inspiration right now I seen his art work for Rolling Stones and I’m thinking to myself “I’m sold; this is the one…” “When I was 15… and stared at album covers for a long time” is what he said to when he started really getting into Design; which I started out younger but it inspired me because he started out young like I did. He was born in 1962 and started his studio and business in his apartment “A few minutes ago, before we began this interview, you mentioned that you started your studio out of your apartment? Yes.” Also I wish to add why I chose him is because he reminds me of myself for the fact of how he started out and his interest in other things such as writing, bands, and art/design. “taking on various skins, from graphic designer to conceptual typographer to performance artist. When the mood strikes, he returns to being a designer, and a completely new cycle of transformation …show more content…
What I noticed though is every site I was on says that Stefan Sagmeister was a trickster and more less a humorous artist than anything. I am more of a serious person (at times anyways) but my love for art was inspired by my depression and pain and it made me happier to do it and show my story in an art piece. Stefan Sagmeister was like me he started out very young is wanting to be a graphic designer he started his art when he was 14 to 15 and same with me I was 15 when I wanted to be in the art profession but loved drawing before that. He had said that he went to school and was in art while in high school my whole life pretty much I’ve been in an art class. So my conclusion to my proposition is that my role model was and is similar to me and my goal can come true as far as getting high up on the totem pole maybe even win some Grammy Awards it’s my biggest goal to be remembered even if it’s after I’m dead which is even better that he’s an alive artist that is famous and popular before he died which is sometimes rare with this good of an

    Spiegelman seems to use drawings to tell his father’s story of the Holocaust for a variety of reasons, both due to his background as well as the literary opportunities presented by using the graphic novel as the medium of choice here. Spiegelman developed an interest in comics at an early age and started drawing professionally by the age of 16. He was also inspired by what he read in fanzines, which are non-professional publications produced by enthusiasts of a cultural phenomenon for others who share their interest. He read about graphic artists such as Frans Masereel and discussions of making the Great American Novel in comics.…

    The Stunt Pilot Analysis

    The traditional view of art has changed over time just as most things have. Naturally, the act of perception has differed opinions on what society considers as art. Dance, paintings, photography, drawings, music, literature, and sculpting, are what comes to mind when contemplating the aspects of art. The limitation to defining a word so opinionated leaves out room for self-expression. The traditional ideas of what is considered art should be broadened; granted, although not tangible, art can be seen through ambitions, emotions, and expression through appearances when not limited to the customary definition.…

    Constantly evolving, constantly transforming. A place where any outsider has to prove themselves before being welcomed with open arms, where fame or riches is not the predominant factor instead communication is the main concern. Art is such a dexterous community, with countless of people from different backgrounds, ideals or beliefs, as a result, it doesn’t belong to only one culture alone and it becomes a form of communication that can reach multiple people regardless of the language boundary that has separated men throughout time and time again. In a sense, I am Alice in the Art world, as a discourse community art has established a part of what I am today by influencing me in my early years, transitioning my life, integrating me into a whole…

    Art has always been a profoundly unique human catalyst for expressing hope, inspiration, communication, and passion. As one of the darkest events in human history, the Holocaust (1933-1945) served as the story that suffering artists needed to share with the world. As a German-Jewish artist who died in Auschwitz, Felix Nussbaum, said right before his death in 1944, “When I perish, do not allow my pictures to die with me. Show them to the people.” Though the Holocaust is one of the most tragic events in human history, it is incredibly important that the stories of the dead, and survivors alike, were shared through the power of artists.…

    There is a belief that products/ideas are successful and meaningful only when they are given exposure on TV, making everybody crazy of fame and show off rather than excellence and brilliance. Because of its virtual and passive nature, TV has driven us way from the real world and people, recreation and real communication. In the last page of the article, Brooks has explained the power of thinking and imagination with the example of Computer Graphicists. With the power of imagination, Computer Graphicists can sub-create worlds which can be more beautiful and meaningful than the world one has ever seen.…
