STAY GOLDEN Homework

I admire these art pieces because of their uses of lines, color and space. There are two distinct areas in which lines are incorporated in the piece by Tenmyouya Hisashi (4th from the top). The curved lines of the dragon are wrapped around the robot which is composed primarily of straight lines, thus blending two different types of lines together. The bright colors featured in the heart of Konoike Tomoko's piece (1st from the top) pop out at the audience due to the dominantly drab-colored background. I like the combination of line and space seen in Blaine Fontana's piece (3rd from the top) because the empty space in the art piece leads to a concentration of shapes with the use of lines.

Artists of the pieces below (from top to bottom): Konoike Tomoko, Takahashi Murakami, Blaine Fontana, Tenmyouya Hisashi and Yoshitoshi Tsukioka.

Cult of Uncool

The purpose of the Street Greens marketing campaign is to advertise vegetables as a hot new trend, yet refrain to promote them from a health oriented perspective.

Our ingenious idea is a sticker of the Street Greens logo that is placed on different types of vegetables, similar to how Dole labels their crop products. The placement of these stickers over the sticker labels of vegetable production companies, reminds the consumer that all vegetables are cool, regardless of origin or producer.

Our apparel items incorporate images of either vegetables or recognizable street themed objects.

Our message is humorously promoted through our magazine ads by substituting vegetables for objects associated with self-destructive or socially destructive behavior that is often present in the "live life in the fastlane" lifestyle.
