Brain Storm and Research
This here is the second half of my brain storms and research on designers. on this entry I will be looking at Photographers and illustrators after looking at Graphic Designers and Film makers on Part one.
Photographers
 |
| Photographers Mind map
There are so many Iconic photographers in the world of the arts, as someone who has a personal liking to photography as a side hobby, I can't lie but to admit I thought about maybe choosing a photographer for the blurt animation or at least use their work as inspiration and references for future pieces of work to come, there are many many people pursuing photography but I am going to mention the people listed on my brain storm who are famously known for their work behind the camera lens. Which I can't lie to you I wouldn't say these photographers would do well for a young audience, For example the following people below:
|
- Paul Strand, was an American Photographer and film maker best. known fir his work with photography. Here is some examples of his imagery below.
 |
| Paul Strand's Photography |
- Cindy Sherman, is an American Photographer, best known by doing her photography work in a series. using herself as the figure in the photograph, relating to gender identity. Here is am of examples of her photography work below, which is one of Cindy Sherman's most famous piece of Photography, called Untitled Film Still #21
 Cindy Sherman Film Still #21 (1978) |
I like this piece, I like how she's developed and edited the photograph making it look like the woman is the dominance over the buildings, kind of demonstrating how she's proud to be female and of who she is. I feel like as a targeted audience I would say her work is mostly aimed towards feminist like her kind though I can't lie I would say that photo caught my attention for the use of different tonal shades.
- Man ray, was a very famous photographer, whose started the photography in Paris and is best known for his photography work, specifically looking into surrealism. He was also known for his piece called Le Violin.
 Man Ray's Photography, Le Violin |
 Man Ray's work on Surrealism |
I can't lie as I have bit of a hobby with photography myself, I very much love this piece its very dynamic and its appealing to me.
This photo defiantly looks old fashioned vintage but I like how he's captured the couple on the dodgems, showing the different tints of light on the cart I also like the different tints of grayscale into this photo, it gives the photo dynamic, I hope to try that with my work to use different tints of colour to give dynamic to my work.

Imogen Cunningham, was an American Photographer who in which was known for her work with floral photography, nudes, and industrial landscapes. Such as these examples below, which I found on google images. This kind of work I feel is aimed towards gardeners, older women and anyone who likes landscape photography.
- Robert Frank, was a photographer, known for his Swiss style photography. such as this photo below.
 Robert Frank's Swiss Photography |
- Imogen Cunningham, was an American Photographer who in which was known for her work with floral photography, nudes, and industrial landscapes. Such as these examples below, which I found on google images. This kind of work I feel is aimed towards gardeners, older women and anyone who likes landscape photography.
 Imogen Cunningham's Photography |
 Another Floral piece by Imogen Cummingham |
- Mario Testino, is a fashion and portrait photographer. here are some examples of his work below.
 Mario Testino's Photography |
I quite like this piece, I like the use of greyscale imagery, which again is a style I could work with for my animations if I so choose to.
 |
| Mario Testino's Photography |
I have a liking of this piece more than the other one above, personally because I feel there is more life to this photograph with the use of colour and in my personal opinion looks more iconic.
With this kind of work by Mario Testino, I would say his artwork is going to appeal the eyes the most to those who like modelling, portrait photography, who in which like self portraits, fashion designer and as for age range I would say possibly aged 20 and up who may find his work iconic and would like to look at it, it depends on what is the latest fashion in the world behind the Camera lens.
 Don Mc Cullin's Photography
This photograph I particularly liked from him because you can see the power dynamics back in the days of the World wars, particularly in the second world war. I love the use of tonal work as it makes the lettering stand out in the image without it having an overpowering look to it, I love the greyscale effect onto the water, I like with the water you can see the effects of the waves in the image.
 Don Mc Cullin'sf Photography
This piece is very symbolic and has a lot of meaning to this piece, but also quite clustered with alot going on, which I like in a sense because there was a lot going on in the scenes of the wars.
I feel these photographs would capture the eye of the OAP men who have fought for us in the World wars, for squadrons or anyone who wants to join the army or has a love for photography.
 David La Chapelle's Photography work
This piece I really like, because ionise very abstract and most defiantly up my street as I am anything by into realism.
I love the graphic editing to this photograph, I can tell for this piece he's taken a photo of a landscape and put edits onto it with the colours yet I can see he has also taken photograph of a person showing fashion element and then collaborated them both together which too is clever. Though I find this image inspiring for my work
 David La Chapelle's Photography work
This piece I really like, I like the use of the neon lights on this image, there is a lot going on with this image but because its an abstract creation it works well with the image. I like how iconic the image is.
This piece is inspiring with the use of different elements to the image, which despite me doing a moving graphic animation, I like these elements in the image- I find this technique not only fascinating but inspiring too.
I would say this work is possibly aimed to capture the eye towards single men, I would also sat maybe fashion designers, maybe younger women who may like seeing feminine art. There again I would say Photographers also. but it could Appel to the eye to younger people too because of the iconic dynamics to the imagery.
 Andre' Kertesz's Photography
This piece I find clever in terms of taking photographs at different angles and perspectives, which I found clever on this piece I love how he's explored imagery using birds eye view perspective because I like how the shadow are captured in this image, I find this inspiring and hope to give this a try with my work at some point.
This piece I can tel straight away he's experimented with scale and perspective in a conceptual kind of way, I can see another use of experimentation with shadow as to when I look at this image I can tell the shadows are from the fences but where the pavements are in a different angles where the shadow is reflecting the fence the shadow looks like a flight of stairs.
I think these photos are clever but I think if there were a specified audience I would say maybe best appeal to the eye of the older generation, I would say it because it gives them something different for them to look at, looking at different angles and perspectives of the natural landscapes, thought having said that I would also say photographers and landscape aritsts and people who like the idea of out of the ordinary natural landscapes.
Andrea Girsky's Photography
This piece I find very bazar. it defiantly shows the repeated image side and shows a good example of use of colour.
 Andrea Girsky's Photography
This piece is another from Gurskey, where everything in the image is in the specific colour scheme and pattens within the image, using inanimate objects as part of the image.
Richard Avelon's Photography
This piece I like the use of the greyscale imagery, I also like the use of involving animals in the mage as part of his fashion. I also love how Richard Avedon has captured the patterns on the snake as they're bold and effective. I also like how he's managed to capture the image of the model holding the snake and the use of light and shadow on the image.
 Richard Avelon's Photography
This image I find a mix of cringe worthy and effective, I like the idea of incorporating the spiders in this piece to give the impact of cringe and wildly creepy. I like how unique this image is.
I will admit I feel this imagery is aimed more towards fashion designers, models and photographers, for the cringeworthy kind of imagery I would say in terms of age and generation I would say these types of imagery could attract most to the younger generation. One because it is unique and out of the ordinary I can imagine people in our generation would find this kind of art appealing.
 Anset Adams's Landscape Photography This piece I like, how he has used the greyscale for this image, as you can see the details stand out because of the light on the imagery.  Anset Adams's Landscape Photography Again same principle with this piece, I love how the rocks are enhanced in the photo. and how the mountains subtly stand out in the image.
This image here is an example of Eliot Porter's Landscape imagery  Eliot Porter's Photography
This image below is an example of Eliot Porter's Bird imagery
This imagery is very nature orientated, I can see the use of the colour captivation. I like this perspective of this photo of the outdoor nature.
 Eliot Porter's Photography
This image above, is an example of Eliot Porter's photography. I like the way he has captured the bird's wings spread out and has focused on that for captuvating colour and detail to the image.
I think with his kind of work for a specified target audience I think his work would appeal most to the elderly generation, particularly the female OAPs, then again having said that this imagery would also attract the eye of people who like landscapes and bird watching and people who like geography.
Illustrators There are many illustrators who in which have created imagery in the books we read today, like the classics Harry Potter, Game of thrones, The Mr men and many other exciting illustrations fro the classic books. I chose to research and reference illustrators so I can gather mire ideas and look at different types of designers in the creative world, to broaden my research really, but as you can see on the brain storm but they're the following people:
 Nick Sharrat's You choose
This book I loved as a little knipper, I used to read it all the time! it was brilliant and it was teaching me my basic reading whilst I was in my Primary years, as I wasn't able to read very well back then anyway I think one of the ultimate reasons I found this book amazing was because of the illustrations in the book, to which I have only just realised the Illustrations were cleverly created by Sharrat.
 Jaqueline Wilson books Illustrations by Sharrat
He even illustrated the Jacquline Wilson books, which are aimed towards the female older children to teens to read. The imagery he produces in these books are very cartoon like and very simple but effective.
His Illustrations are aimed towards the the young children seeing as he is known for illustrating for children's books. Therefore young children is his target audience. Whether it is to teach children to draw like we see this video, or ifs to teach children how to read and write, his writing style works well for educational purposes as well as making children enjoy a story.
 Beatrix Potterin, Peter Rabbit Illustrations  Beatrix Potter, Peter Rabbit Book
Seeing as Potterin is a children's illustrator her target audience for this book was aimed towards children, bur seeing as this book is an old classic, I would also say this book is aimed towards the older generation also, seeing as they've grown up with the book as a child themselves.
 Eric Hill, Spot Books
The target audience for these books I Ould say are aimed for 3-5 year olds, new mums and possibly aimed for nursery teachers. I would most defiantly say these books are aimed to a younger audience as I used to read these when I was little myself, to help me learn to read and improve my vocabulary at the age range of 3-5.
E-H Shephard, Winnie the Pooh illustration
E-H- Shepherd illustrated, Winnie the Pooh book
I think his work with the whiny the pooh's imagery is suited for children, but because this imagery is very vintage and old fashioned I feel that the imagery will also aimed to the upper end of our generation as they've grown up seeing these illustrations when they were children.
John Tenniel, Alice in wonderland illustration
John Tenniel, White Rabbit illustration
Illustrated by John Tenniel, Alice in Wonderland book
This book, Alice in wonderland is very vintage and back then they had to illustrate imagery using pen and pencil, similarly to E-H- Shepard's illustration technique for Winnie the Pooh book using pen and pencil, which I like because you can see the old fashioned element to the imagery, which I think is interesting in itself, seeing what illustration life was like before the days of technology and adobe.
In terms of target audience, this book I feel is quite varied, I would say people aged 10-15 are most likely to read this novel, but there again children may read this book too, again it depends on the person as in what they like to read really. I would even say this book may even be aimed for the people in the upper end of our generation, because of them growing up with the book when they were younger and it bringing nostalgia to the book compared to the appearance of the books we see today.
 Marcus Pfister, Rainbow Fish The Rainbow Fish Written & Illustrated by Marcus Phister
This book again has helped me learn how to read and improve my vocabulary when I was little, therefore books like this are good for education purposes and target audience are aimed at young children aged 3-5, Primary school teachers and new mums.
 Roger Hargreaves, Mr Men  Roger Hargreaves, The Mr Men
The characters of the Mr Men are described and created based on their personalities ie- Mr Bump- basically saying he's clumsy and we can tell because he has a bandage wrapped round his head. Anyway, my point is the characters are simplistic and very colourful, therefore these characters would attract young children because the colours are sensory and at the young age of 2-5 like sensory kind of imagery, using colours that are bold but simple.
 Roger Hargreaves, The Mr Men The Mr Men were one of my all time favourite book series when I was younger, they were basically the first books I ever started reading. so therefore I feel these books are definitely best suited for the very young children from aged 2-5 I would say seeing as these books were there to help us learn the most basic vocabulary, that the audiences for these books would be for youngsters as well as maybe nursery teachers or new mums also.
Raymond Briggs, The Snowman
Raymond Briggs, Father Christmas
You will come across these illustrations on the Christmas movies, the snowman and Father Christmas. On books and now where they are classics we see these characters on Christmas products in the shop, especially the snowman. Particularly back in 2019 seeing as its 40 years old. like the below.
The snowman 40 years old
The snowman Products
I would say for the target audience for these illustration was originally aimed towards children though, seeing as they're Christmas illustrations I would say the target audience is varied. I would say maybe families would most likely find this illustrations appealing.
 Roald Dahl books illustrated by Quintin Blake  Quintin Blake, BFG illistrator
These books by Roald Daul and Quintin Blake I would say is aimed towards a slightly younger audience, similarly to the Jacqueline Wilson and Nick Sharrats books, that the audience for these books can be from ages 10 and up, best suited for the older children, ones who may like to read and improve their vocabulary, and maybe teachers and budding illustrators.
 Pauline Bayne's Narnia illustrations
The illustration for this piece by Bayer is very cartoon like yet surrealist kind of illustration, I really like the imagery, it is simplistic but works well. I find this image style inspiring and hope too create imagery in a similar style on my artwork.
 Pauline Breyer, illustrated the lion the Witch and the wardrobe
For this book, I would say is suited to a varied audience, from young children for the type of cartoon like illustrations in the book, like the one above, though having said that the story the book may suit an older audience too because of the narration. I think it depends on what books people may read.
