Presentations #5

I came late to the fifth and final day of presentations, but I was able to see some movie title sequences and trailers that some dude made. She said that whoever he was, was Saul Bass inspired and it definitely showed. Anyway, it appears that was all he did.

Next was V@rner's presentation on Shepard Fairy. Fairy has the whole rebel punk style and is known for his Andre the Giant "OBEY" sticker, which implies big brother is watching you. He went to Rhode Island School of Design and began putting up his designs in the form of stickers and graffiti around skate parks. Currently, Fairy's most noted work is with the Obama campaign poster design, which he is currently in a law suit with the Associated Press over fair rights since he used and barely altered an image of President Obama from newspapers. Most of his art, also being applied to such band posters as Led Zeppelin, have an Art Deco theme/style to them, and almost always have some hidden political message/agenda.
