Brief 2 - Communication is a Virus: Artist Research

After mondays meeting we decided that we would all take an aspect of the project to develop. Since I came up with the idea of a 3D origami poster it was my task to try and create it. Initially I knew what I wanted to do but when it came to doing it I really struggled. I decided before I went any further to research into paper artists and paper posters to get an idea of what is possible and what looks good. 




The only logical way of making a 3D poster which would be easy to reproduce would be to photograph the origami and then create the poster around that. I found when trying to cut out the shapes the paper would fall or droop as it couldn't support the weight of the hanging paper. I quite like the example above and below of the photographed items as they look neat and interesting. 




Rob Ryan

I decided to look at Rob Ryan who works with paper but instead of folding it he cuts sections out. His work is intricate and detailed which makes it more fascinating and interesting. For a poster, this style is more feasible because although it may take a bit of time it can support itself upright and still fits with the hand made paper art theme. The origami ideas could be incorporated into it and shown through this theme. 






Yulia Brodskaya 

Yulia Brodskaya is one of my favourite paper artists as she uses strips of coloured paper to create her master pieces. If there is any way of working this into my final poster that would be interesting, however it would take ages to do every poster like this.
