Yep, and cooking. Some people think there is no better food the a McDonalds cheeseburger.

2002-11-22 17:33:23

piemel :

So would it be possible for me to say that this is a crappy design (personally to me) while you can say that this is one of the best designed gigposters on this site and we're both right? Is this the same 'discussion' or dilemma that goes on when one discusses good art versus bad art?

2002-11-22 17:32:23

art chantry :

piemel - no on both counts.

2002-11-22 17:28:30

piemel :

So... reaction equals great design? Always? Is there any way to qualify/quantify design?

Steve H :

i don't think that if ur affected by a poster it necessarily means its good. u might just think its a piece of shit so how does that make it good?? however i think this poster's great, the drawing on the face is as close to real art as it gets.

2002-11-21 20:15:08

BillyMac :

Piemel: It's about craft vs. sponteneity, hard edges vs. soft curves, art vs. life and how each of these affects the other. Combining, clashing, and building on each other. Open your mind just a little bit and you may find that the striking image that you don't "like" may be the best design you've ever seen. This poster got to you against your will--that's GREAT design!

2002-11-21 20:02:55

Gaither :

I think the poster captures the excitement of design's evolution, ingenuity, and inspiration through the use of color and type. I also want to cut a hole in center and fuck it.

2002-11-20 23:12:02

Steve H :

hehe well maybe i'd tape it off someone:)

i wouldn't.

kozik :

if she changed her name to Pjork I might actually buy one of her records.

2002-11-19 18:18:14

Steve H :

didn't u know? bjork invented everything. music, drawing, even posters, she even cornered the annoying quirky whacky pixie market while she was at it.

2002-11-19 18:15:31

Platinum Rich :

yeah, yeah so it looks a bit like bjork's vesptertine album. i'm sure it looks like somethng sagmeister swiped from somewhere too. big deal. i love when anonymous people post shit like that on the day they registered.

2002-11-19 16:18:12

gun sho :

how about that. bjork ripped off the poster children

2002-11-19 16:01:22

Steve H :

i like the cropped edge, its like the calm amongst the storm, take klimt's paintings for example, where u've got a whole canvas of swirly patterns and shapes and in amongst it are perfectly rendered faces and people; i like that juxtaposition (man) and the words on this poster aren't difficult to read in the slightest. i agree with mr piemel in that i don't like scribbles either, but those aren't scribbles, they look more like spontaneous doodles with an evolving plan of action, thumbs up.

2002-11-18 17:12:05

HankTrotter :

I haven't read the whole thread, but the first thing I thought when I stopped by the site today was..."What a cool fucking poster!" Wish I had done it. Then I saw Art Chantry also likes it and I thought, "Fucker, now people are gonna think I'm just echoing what he's saying." But, I'm not. This poster is super cool. The only beef I have is with the hard rectangular edge to the foto. Tits up on this one!

2002-11-18 14:43:05

Platinum Rich :

i dig this cause it jumped out at me amongst all the thumbnails. the "crappy" and "sloppy" lettering rule. i also gotta say that king kong is my favorite anonymous person.

2002-11-18 12:57:20

gun sho :

the photo isn't complicated. the linework is. especially in it's relation to the photo. the relationships help create dynamics in this design. you don't have to be a designer to experience that. personally, i don't think that this poster is unearthly, but it is well done. i like it better than any of the other stuff i've seen poster children do which look a lot like ft. thunder stuff (to me at least). your opinions are valid. there's nothing wrong with not liking it.

2002-11-18 12:39:33

art chantry :

i hate sounding trite (what am i saying, i LOVE sounding trite), but most of your objections to this poster are exactly the reasons i think it's so great.

2002-11-18 12:32:04

piemel :

I'll try to think about it :) I have never been a great fan of posters where I can barely read the who what where and why. Unless it is done with great 'art' skill like SOME of the old fillmore style posters. The way I perceive this poster is a nice picture with very sloppy and not interesting scribbles over it with little thought of what to put where. I don't 'get' the design in this one, except perhaps the section with the eyes and nose. Even then I would have preferred a more delicate design or perhaps more variety in line thickness. Maybe some big fat lines and section completely covered in red?? I dont like the fact that the picture is square and cropped but the graphics are plastered on it/over it. If the idea behind a good designed poster is to create a 'what the hell??' reaction I guess this poster works but I just dont like it. I 'get' that the type/style of drawing is related to the topic/person of the picture but again I would have preferred somemore skillfull drawing. I dont think that the linedrawing is enhancing the picture as is; its a great B&W picture.I wouldnt call it 'complicated' as gunsho did. Again, I can see the CLASH but that is just not interesting to me nor do I (personally) think that gigposters should have a clash to make them a great gigposter. In my mind some 'clash' style posters work and some don't. This just doesnt do it for me. Again I am not a designer so perhaps I just dont understand the boldness or creativity behind this design.

2002-11-18 12:29:37

gun sho :

in my opinion, this poster is good because it combines simplicity (black, red, and white) with a complicated visual-style (the lettering and drawing), and manages to do so very sucessfully. the black and white photo adds depth to to composition and the flatness of the red lines both define and manage to draw the image behind it back towards the eye. it creates a good tension that is interesting to look at. additionally, from a historical persective, i think the illustrative-style matches the context of the time period that the photo seems to be taken from while at the same time creating more tension because of it's modern simplicity.

2002-11-18 11:15:47

art chantry :

piemel - don't look at it as a picture or an image or a drawing. look at it as a design. look at it as a printing process with attitude. think of the immediacy of it's statement and impact. think of it's attitude. think of it's clash. maybe you shouldn't think about it at all - just respond. the fact you don't like it is an enormous clue as to what's going on with this poster. think about it for awhile.

2002-11-18 11:05:14

art chantry :

the best thing about this poster is the mystery of your response, piemel.

2002-11-18 10:56:41

piemel :

Hmmmmm, I really dont like this poster. Nice black & white picture with RED crappy drawing over it. As I said earlier I don't get it (not that I need to). I am not a designer or artist but there a loads of people here screaming that this is a great poster. WHY? Dammit, someone explain me why this print is so good in their opinion.

2002-11-18 10:53:33

softhandedlady :

Its a very nice poster. I think some opinions are just people being parrots.

2002-11-18 07:09:57

This is a beautiful poster, I love the hand drawn crazy shit and the photo is great. I haven't been here in a long while and this is an inspiring piece...Good work.

I just had to say something. She rips on posters all the time. But if someone makes fun of hers or something she likes. LOOK OUT. So much for tolerance. I like her posters however. :)

piemel - i'll explain in immense detail why i think this thing is so great, but not on this site. email at home and we'll do it there. you know what will happen if we do it here. sorry.

dave - it's for yer beer, stupid.

2002-11-13 11:38:29

philaarts.com :

i was joking. i like the poster. the top of her head looks flat because its a cropped photo, hence the joke. i can be seen tues and fridays at the funnybone... poster o the week.

2002-11-13 11:37:54

piemel :

Besides the face of BB there is not much I like about this poster. Perhaps I dont 'get it'.... Can someone explain to me why this picture with scribbled lines on it is so great for them personally?

2002-11-13 11:25:12

5Rock :

If this were a perfect world, this would be printed offset onto a large sheet of natural textured cover-weight, image size 16" or so high with at least 6 or 7" of negative space. It rules even if it's a color copy from the Ye Olde Kopy Shacke.

2002-11-13 11:14:34

art chantry :

i used BB on a poster once. i'll try to dig around and put it up so you can see what some of you consider "flat". (one man's floor is another man's cieling...)

2002-11-13 11:13:13

robschwager :

awww.. richie.. i thought we were buds... i cant think either... I need answers... hello...? Frank...? I know... WHERE'S JERMAINE?!?!?!?! HE'LL tell me what to think.

2002-11-13 11:10:32

Bradley W. Zimmerman :

yeah, i think it does look a little flat. a more detailed contrast would make the red overlay pop even more.

2002-11-13 11:10:24

RichieGoodtimes :

don't pin that on me Trucker! I might not like it if Frank doesn't. I can't think for myself.

2002-11-13 11:07:51

art chantry :

i think question raised by dave (phillarts) still stands... dose "BB's" face look flat? is it because she's french?

2002-11-13 11:07:44

Bradley W. Zimmerman :

my one complaint is that you gotta dig around for the date and other info. as if often said, great art, but not a great advertisement/promotion piece. aesthetically hot like bosco.

2002-11-13 11:07:40

robschwager :

It's interesting. Looks cool. Dunno if i'd hang it on MY wall, but yes. I like it. It's unique. only cuz Richie does.

Can something be a device and a letter at the same time? Shit...I guess I'm gonna have to check the design manuals again for regulations on this.

2002-11-13 09:43:58

art chantry :

dave - the "e's" are devices to show the contour of her face, thus 'fixing' the flatness. jesus, you think bidget bardot's face looks flat?

2002-11-13 09:42:38

I like it cause Kevin Jones does...but I may not like it later depending on what Frank says.

2002-11-13 09:42:34
