Mona Lisa Font & Adolfo Correa I find Adolfo's style to be extreme visual confetti created around a font. He did a poster below where he declared his love for Helvetica. Next to the Helvetica poster, is his most famous "confetti font" with I love you. So I thought it would be fun to combine his love for font, and his love confetti with my Mona Lisa. I tried to use his aesthetic, with my font's aesthetic.... If I pulled it off is up to the viewer.
Below is the FREE TIBET confetti design. I am not a fan of his style, I would not think Jay is a large fan either. So the design I came up with, departs from my normal style. In that way I am impressed, because looking at it... It feels like someone elses work.
The poster below is the combination of my Mona Lisa font, and it's aesthetic.... mixed with my take on Adolfo Correa's aesthetic style. I started with a 18x24 canvas. I studied Di Vinci's work, he is famous for unfinished work. I tried to combine that unfinished Di Vinci style with the landscape with atmospheric perspective found behind Mona Lisa herself. Once painted, I used different styles to make it look older, cracked, and weathered. Then I designed the "Confetti", in photo shop, and placed it ontop of a photo of my landscape. Then taking a Mask of my "Mona Lisa" font, I cut out the negative, leaving the landscape in place of the fill on my font. I wanted my take of Adolfo to be modern and relevant with todays popular designs. I have the landscape, and the font, to tie the poster to the renaissance.
I think that a lot more of mine is going to change just so that I am only creating a feel for the style of Linzie Hunter yet still have a piece that is truly mine. Also I am trying to make the word "Isabella" the focal point but think I am going to have problems because the style I am using is very busy and can sometimes be chaotic.
I don't have much done on it as you can see but I am going to have a bunch of different words surrounding "Isabella" but pushed back in opacity so that the title is still the focus and I am going to add in a lot more lines and decorations with some being the strong contrasting colors which is a prevalent feature in Linzie's work.
