DAT PIC!


 ABOVE ALL, THIS PICTURE IS THE POSTER FROM STUSSY SPRING COLLECTION 2022. 

 





LINGUISTIC MESSAGE:

AS WE CAN SEE THERE IS A LOGO AT THE BOTTOM RIGHT CORNER, WHICH IS A S T U S S Y IN THE STUSSY GRAFFITI FONT. IT MAKES THE AUDIENCE KNOW THAT THIS POSTER IS FROM STUSSY.  

 

 

LITERAL MESSAGES:        

SOME BACKGROUND KNOWLEDGE: THIS BRAND IS FOUNDED BY SHAWN STÜSSY, A SURFER WHO USED TO SHAPE HIS OWN BOARDS FOR FRIENDS AND LOCALS IN LAGUNA BEACH, CALIFORNIA. STÜSSY BEGAN SCREENING T-SHIRTS AND SHORTS TO SELL ALONG WITH THE SURFBOARDS AS A FORM OF PROMOTION; HIS SURNAME WRITTEN IN A GRAFFITI-INFLUENCED HAND STYLE WAS TO BECOME THE COMPANY LOGO.

 

IN THIS POSTER, THERE IS A COASTLINE EXTENDED FROM THE BACKGROUND TO THE FOREGROUND WHICH REPRESENTS ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT ELEMENTS OF STUSSY: SURFING. ALSO, WE CAN TELL THERE IS A GRAFFITI HAND-STYLE LETTER S PRINTED ON THE BEACH, WHICH REINFORCED THAT THIS POSTER IS FROM THAT BRAND, AND SHOWS OFF THEIR IDENTICAL LETTERING STYLE. OR MAYBE IT INFORMS PEOPLE THAT LETTERING WILL BE A BIG THING IN THAT COLLECTION. 

 

THE WHOLE POSTER PROVIDES PEOPLE A CHILLING VIBE ON THE BEACH THAT ATTRACTS PEOPLE TO GET TO KNOW MORE ABOUT THAT BRAND AND TRIES TO STIMULATE PEOPLE TO BUY THE PRODUCTS. 

 

 

SYMBOLIC MESSAGES;    

MAYBE WEST COAST FASHION STREET WEAR CULTURE? 

 

DENOTED MESSAGE;        

THIS POSTER IS 100% TRUE! SINCE THIS IS A REAL PHOTOGRAPH TAKEN BY A PHOTOGRAPHER WITH HIS CAMERA. PERSONALLY SPEAKING, PHOTOGRAPHY IS NOT ALWAYS A LIE, ARTIST TAKE PHOTO TO RECORD THE BEAUTY AT THAT MOMENT AND THAT MOMENT ACTUALLY EXIST. EVEN IF THEY MIGHT USE PHOTOSHOP TO MAKE THE PHOTOS LOOK BETTER, THE THINGS ARE STILL REAL. 

 

CONNOTED MESSAGE: 

WE SHOULD WANT TO KNOW MORE ABOUT THE STUFF IN THAT COLLECTION.

PROJECT #3

  “BEETHOVEN’S DEAFNESS DESIGNATES THE LACK WHEREIN RESIDES ALL SIGNIFICATION; IT APPEALS TO A MUSIC THAT IS NOT ABSTRACT OR INWARD, BUT THAT IS ENDOWED, IF ONE MAY PUT IT LIKE THIS, WITH A TANGIBLE INTELLIGIBILITY, WITH THE INTELLIGIBL E AS TANGIBLE.” BARTHES (P. 152)   BEETHOVEN’S MUSIC IS OFTEN SEEN AS A REFLECTION OF HIS INNERMOST THOUGHTS AND FEELINGS. HIS DEAFNESS, HOWEVER, FORCED HIM TO RELY ON HIS OTHER SENSES, PARTICULARLY HIS SENSE OF TOUCH AND VIBRATION, TO CREATE HIS MUSIC. HE WOULD OFTEN PLACE HIS HANDS ON THE PIANO OR ON THE WALLS OF HIS ROOM TO FEEL THE VIBRATIONS OF THE SOUND HE WAS CREATING. THIS ALLOWED HIM TO CREATE MUSIC THAT WAS NOT JUST AUDITORY, BUT THAT WAS ALSO TACTILE AND PHYSICAL.    AS FOR MY PROJECT, I SHARED MY PERSPECTIVE TO ENJOY THE BEAUTY IN OUR LIFE. IT COULD BE USED AS A TOOL HELP AUDIENCE FIND THE BEAUTY IN THEIR LIFE. BASED ON MY UNDERSTANDING, THE ESSENCE OF LIVING IS TRYING TO ENJOY THE PROCESS OF IT, PEOPLE, MAYBE, CAN GET MORE PLEASURE FROM LIV

RICK OWENS

RICK OWENS IS AN AMERICAN-BORN DESIGNER LIVING IN PARIS, KNOWN FOR HIS ABSTRACT, YET APPROACHABLE AVANT-GARDE DESIGNS. BORN RICHARD SATURNINO OWENS, HE BEGAN HIS LABEL IN CALIFORNIA IN 1994 AND NOW OVERSEES A VERITABLE FASHION EMPIRE FROM A FIVE-STORY COMPOUND IN PARIS. IF THERE'S ONE CHARACTERISTIC THAT HAS DEFINED HIS LIFE, IT HAS BEEN OWENS' FIERCE INDEPENDENCE. HIS ECCENTRIC BRUTALIST APPROACH IS EVIDENT IN HIS FASHION, HIS FURNITURE, AND EVEN HIS PERSONAL LIFE.                                          RICK'S REPRESENTATIVE ABSTRACT FASHION DESIGN: THE FIRST GENERATION GEOBASKET INITIALLY INTRODUCED IN FALL/WINTER 2006'S "DUSTULATOR" COLLECTION, RICK OWENS DESIGNED THE GEOBASKET BECAUSE HE FELT THAT ATHLETIC SHOES WERE SIMPLY TOO "PROSAIC." PULLING ELEMENTS FROM NIKE, ADIDAS AND PUMA, OWENS WAS ATTEMPTING TO—IN HIS WORDS—CREATE MONSTER TRUCKS FOR HIS FEET. THE RESULT WAS SOMEWHERE BETWEEN MOON BOOT AND HIGH-TOP, FEATURING AN ULTRA-EXTENDED TONG

PROJECT #2

  THE ROLE OF AUTHORSHIP IS THAT PEOPLE COULD TELL “HELL YEAH THAT’S BOWEN’S WORK!” BECAUSE THERE IS MY SOUL, MY STYLE, AND EVEN MY EXPERIENCE IN MY WORK. MY WORK EQUALS TO MY NAME IN SOME ASPECTS. OF COURSE, I CONSIDER MY WORK ORIGINAL, BECAUSE I EXERCISE MY AESTHETIC BY READING A HUGE VARIETY OF WORKS, WHICH ARE IN VERY DIFFERENT KINDS OF STYLES. THEN I  COME UP WITH MY OWN STUFF. WHEN THE AUDIENCE LOOK AT MY WORK, THEY COULD ONLY TELL OH THAT ARTWORK LOOKED A LITTLE BIT LIKE BLABLABLA’S WORK, BUT ALSO A LITTLE BIT LIKE DLADLADLA’S WORK. BUT FUCK NO, IT IS JUST L I K E, THAT STYLE IS BOWEN’S STYLE MY ORIGINAL SHIT.      EVERYONE WHO STARES AT MY WORK FOR MORE THAN 3 MINUTES COULD “TAKE POSSESSION” OF MY WORK AND DERIVE THEIR OWN MEANING FROM IT. I THINK WHEN THE AUDIENCE GET THE BEAUTY OF MY STUFF, AT THAT MOMENT, THEY TAKE POSSESSION OF IT. AND THEY COULD ALSO DERIVE THEIR OWN MEANING FROM IT BECAUSE PEOPLE FROM DIFFERENT EXPERIENCES OF LIFE COULD DEFINITELY DERI VE DIFFERENT MEANIN
