SPACE

After a lot of thinking I have stuck with one main idea, SPACE

PSYCHOLOGY OF SPACE DESIGN
ENVIRONMENTAL PSYCHOLOGY
ART INSTALLATIONS
WALL ILLUSTRATIONS
LIVE PAINTING
GRAFFITI
RETAIL SPACE - SHOP WINDOWS
EXHIBITION SPACE

I want to look at the effects of art,design and illustration in relation to the space its displayed in and different ways it can provoke a reaction or experience from the viewer.
How the artists respond to the space they're in whether it be outdoors or indoors and the idea of the viewers experience being the main importance
How they have chosen and used particular spaces to portray messages or meanings eg Jenny Holzer's projections, Banksy's graffiti
Responding to environment and interaction with it - creating an experience
Also looking at retail and exhibition space looking at the design of a space and its effects on the public and sales,
The psychology behind the use of space
I want to look at different designers, illustrators and artists who have used the space purposely to evoke reaction and response in people and how they gone about it eg
Roger Hiorns
Sol LeWitt
Jenny Holzer
Peepshow Collective
Ian Stevenson
Richard Long
Graffiti artists
Pam and Jenny
Nathalie Pollet
David Tremlett
Selfridges store windows

"Tremlett brings his audience closer to authentic human experience through the impermanence of the wall drawings as viewers encounter works indigenous to a specific space. The singular rarity of this viewing can never be remade in quite the same way, leaving visitors with the persistent memory of a momentary artistic encounter.”

  1. hey katy!
    in the tutorial i was talking about a certain book with the interesting, out of ordinary paper stuff... it's called 'paperwork - the potential of paper in graphic, design by nancy williams (phaidon - 2004)...

    'exparimental formats' is also a good book to look at for your topic.

    hope it's helpful

  2. hello!maybe you could think about how does the space define the value of what is in it, e.g. a piece of rubbish displayed in a white art gallery o on the street or a plain white top in an expensive designer shop or primark...

  3. I much prefer Sans Serif types, much less fussy. One I really liked working with when producing a logo was Handel Gothic BT. Of course there is the classic Helvetica, which is always good when you need a clear type that does not distract from the image it is accompanying.
