DESIAN PRINCIPLES Task 2/ VISUAL ANALYSIS & IDEATION
Task 2
Task 2 requires you to assess, investigate, document and analyse the existing art/design work you selected in Task 1. You will study the design principles found in that work, as well as the size, placement, purpose, effectiveness of the design.
Instruction :
1.
Write a 300- to 350-word visual analysis of the artwork you selected from the art gallery. Refer to Visual Analysis lecture notes and guide to write the visual analysis.
2.
Next, using your design principles knowledge, sketch 3 ideas on how the selected design can be improved.
Describe each idea and support it with a rationale in about 30-50 words. You may include some visual references (cite the sources) that inspire your own ideas. Plagiarism in any way (p. 13 of MIB) will result in an F grade for the overall module and the student will be subjected to the policies of the University concerning academic misconduct. You shall also adhere to the guidelines and expectations for the responsible use of GenAI.
Design Analysis :
The center point of this artwork shows "Robin", in his normal uniform that consists of a red and black suit, green gloves, green boots with red aglets and a gold edged cloak. His brows are creased and eyes are squinted , giving of an intense yet determine gaze. His pose is a bent knee with one arm resting on it, showing off a dynamic position and implies he is going to be in motion. The Bat-Signal shines behind him creating a white circle with a bat symbol in the middle. The bat symbol giving him wings.The lit rectangular windows and blurred cityscape in the background create depth and atmosphere. The Bat-Signal is mostly responsible for the image's warm golden tone, which is juxtaposed with the foreground's darker colour and works to heighten the dramatic impact.
The Bat-Signal also sheds light on Robin, highlighting his silhouette and showcasing his role in the scene. The Bat Signal is the main light source in the theatrical lighting, providing Robin bright highlights and a deep shadow. The shot stands out better due to the contrast of the black foreground and light background. The colour scheme literally places Robin front and centre, mixing his cooler red, black, and green colours with the warm gold, orange, and yellow backdrop. A tilted viewpoint gives it a more dynamic aspect; a blurred cityscape background adds depth. Robin’s gloves and cape and clothes all have sharp surfaces that seem polished, military.
The character oozes heroism and power, emphasizing the strength and individuality of Robin. His stern face and hooded visage signify a darker, grittier version, possibly inspired by Damian Wayne. The Bat-Signal looming in the background signifies his connection to Batman but also highlights his independence. He is defined by it but not overshadowed. The radiance of the light is reminiscent of hope and justice, in turn contrasting with the ominous foreground symbolizing his troubles. The overall dramatic somber, intense, and cinematic mood positions Robin strongly as an unrelenting and formidable hero, unwavering in Gotham's eternal battle between light and darkness.
