Bruno Mars

Continuing to develop ideas we have now decided on a style for our campaign, which has been heavily inspired by Erika Simmons, I haven't been able to upload our designs onto here yet, but you will see a similarity to Simmons work in our poster designs. I have uploaded this music video of Bruno Mars - Just the way you are, as it contains a moving motion images of cassette tape art, which could be a idea for if we decide to design a projection film for Alight. 

Erika Simmons

While developing on my current Uni project 'Alight' I came across Erika Simmons who is an imaginative painter and sculptor who is driven by an incredible passion for self-expression through art. Her works are often noted for their unique and innovative styles that focuses on recycling found materials, such as old cassettes and used books. One of her most famous and popular items of art are from the series ' Ghost in the machine'. The following images are simply amazing..

Simmons achieves these simple designs though cutting up and re arranging pieces and items of everyday life, when asked about where her ideas come from she mentions the philosopher Gilbert Ryle, who describes how your spirt lives in your body. I love the quote Simmons gave ' I Imagine we are like cassettes - thoughts wrapped up in awkward packages'. Some of Simmons other work is just simply beautiful I love the way she uses music note sheets into art, i have found this website that takes you through step by step on how Simmons produced this style.
