Visual Techniques

My interest is in product design and graphic design in various fields, especially something like animation,

television, etc. 

Black Rock Shooter: Complexity, intricacy,  spontaneity, activeness, exaggeration, instability, irregualrity, diffusion, episodic.

 Magical Girl Madoka: Sequentiality, accent, consistency, balance, regularity, depth, repetition. 

The two images are both clearly from animated works featuring action, however they have very different design styles and visual techniques. The first image (Black Rock shooter poster) has many details but is very disorganized, probably planned that way, and the message is somewhat unclear. There is too many details making the message unclear and complex, it feels scatted, messy, but a feeling of activeness is going on like action is everywhere. It does manage to clearly highlight the two girls giving a center to the image yet also being unstable with details. The second image is much clearer as it is more organized and consistent. This is a an action scene of a girl using her guns to fight a witch, clearly all the guns are detailed, have depth, are organized and lined up to fire. The girl stands out in the row of guns seeing as she is the only thing that is not a gun, but it can be indicated that she is the one using the guns as she is going in the same direction as them. Both images are quite nice and are quite different visually, especially in terms of their purposes, they provide excellent examples of the sort of work I wish to do in the future. It would be nice to make designs come alive.
