The good the bad and the ugly

For my choice of design that is good I have chosen a piece of art that was designed and done by Shepared Fairey. I have always liked his style of art and symmetricality. The way that he generally balances his art and all has a similar and now very iconic style to it. the gradient of color in the piece is bright and catchy but subtle all the same. this design is not good simply cause it looks good, but its well thought out and planned in advance and takes time to place the mural on the wall. This piece also continues the uniformity of Shepard Fairey which he made famous through the clothing brand OBEY. This art piece also follows the law of proximity, and closure.

This is an obvious example of poorly done wall art. It is bad not only because its a rip off or raiders original, but because the poor and unfortunate soul who did it couldn't even put it in a straight line, most second graders could do better i think. It wasn't well thought out and poorly executed. its not attractive to the eye, or entertaining at all. I would hope that after this the artist gave up all hopes of graffiti, and went to find a job in which his services would be useful.
