Concept Evaluation

The Earth (ken Miki)

Ken Miki's The Earth design is simple and aligent that work well and communicate directly with people.
His concept is very simple and strait forword it shows his studio's location in the world map in very creative way. According to his method "Designing as we tallk" the concept was very simple for this design. Having feeling something by touching it keeps in mind perfectly that is why he has produced his studio's map in 3D. Having creating 3D box it can covers the whole world map as his design requirments and he has used white colour for all the box and the world map that tells the simlicity and neatness of his work. Doing embossed effect on the world map that lift the design quality perfectly. I think his simple design concept is far more better.

His design themes also very simple and allegiant that follows the words we speak.

Aboriginal Motifs

Functions and philosophies


Respect
The rights of Indigenous people to own and control their heritage in their own way, including art, cultural materials, designs and stories that they have produce.To respect widely to indigenous rights there are some protocols should follow,
Acknowledgment of country

Indigenous Australians, the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people, are the original
inhabitants of Australia. They have a strong connection with their motherland they love their country in heart. They talk to country, they sing to country, worry about the country. The aboriginal people say that country knows, hears, smell, feel the people thoughts.
Public art – acknowledging land
It is common practice for Indigenous artists to
seek approval from the Indigenous community 
for public art-based projects in any particular
‘country’ within Australia. For example, the 
Metropolitan Land Council (MLC) in Sydney
notes that it was consulted by Fiona Foley of  
Badtjala heritage in Queensland when she was 
developing a public artwork to be installed in 
Gadigal country, Sydney.



Attribution and copyright

Many people think that copyright is a very complicated issue, but since understand the basics of copyright that won't be acomplicated issue.
The indigenous people are seek to have a greater share in any benefits generated from the use of their cultural stories. All the copyright issues are relevent to their cultural materials and cultural things that they produce in their home country. It is very important to have a good clear understanding about the copyright issue that can easily be a chance a get a copyright under current government law.

Moral Rights and Issues
Some Indigenous cultural material is not suitable for wide dissemination on the grounds of secrecy
and confidentiality. Any arts or any kind of materials that belongs to indigenous people we have to respect them and we have to work under the copyright issues and certain rules and regulations.

Native American Motifs

Washington Redskins
The washington redskins logo has two primary colours that are gold and burgundy. In their logo shows the native american chief face with the feather hat in burgundy colour. The concept of the logo is place the native american head, facing the right but it originally was facing to left.The chief head is placed within a yellow circle which has some yellow feathers. The colour of the circle, yellow comes from the team colours of burgundy and gold. Chief zee is the name of the person that shows in this logo.
1965-1969
                  
 The logo of the team has been changed time to time since it started.




1982
In their logo they used exactly the same american native (red indians face) head with the feathers, in this logo they changed the colours of the feathers to yellow but all the rest are match to the original american natives.


The logo of the washington redskins seems to be attractive, it works well with the nicely illustrated graphics and primary colours that use in logo. The logo gives nice contrast and negative and positive space. Using the fewer colours in logo  that works any application. They well considered about the stability of the logo and movement of the colours. The graphics are very sharped and easy to identify what is trying to say with the logo.
1983-present


I personally like this logo because it has nice graphics with strong contrast and placement of elements are perfect. 
I think the logo has achieved 
its intention using american native head.

Melbourne sports Museum Critiques

2008 Beijing olympic logo


I am going to critique 2008 beijing olympic logo that well known  dancing character. The logo is created in 2008 by 70 years old Chinese artist Han Meilin.      
 Dancing beijing is a another cord word for beijing olympic logo. There is a story behind this logo which is historic and cultural. The design of the logo inspired from the ancient chinese character. With inspiration from the traditional chinese art form - calligraphic art, the character 'jing' (the letter of the city's name) is developed in to the form of new dancing human character. Dancing beijing is a chinese seal. It represent the trust, self confidence and also trying to show grand picture of peace and  friendship.
                                    This design has nice colour combination and its work well with the original olympic logo. It emphasis the character by using white colour and the storks of the character are freely used and very dramatic. The logo work well with the positive and negative space and well balanced all the artworks and text are aligned to the centre. There are limited number of elements and principles use in this logo which  is line and colour, red colour that use for the background gives more depth to the logo. The design of this logo based on traditional chinese art form which is calligraphic that is why characters stroke are look more curve and brush stroke effect.
                                                                                                            I think the logo is work well with their concept that form from the traditional art techniques. It looks like a more simple and forming their tradition through this logo.


Collingwood football club uniform


In this collingwood uniform has nice contrast and negative and positive space. Black and white semetrical lines gives more depth to the overall look of the uniform. The AFL logo and the other logos work well with the background colours. There are movement as a result of the black and white lines going over the front and back in desent  manner.
                                        The uniform design is quite effective due to choosing nice colourse with the contrast. The design is quite simple and no busy with the additional elements. The elements that are shown in colour and lines. The principle that are used stability and rhythm.
                               I personally think the overall design and colour usege are quite simple and work well with the uniform. The colours that used in the uniform blend well with the original AFL  logo and collingwood logo. I think uniform design well sutiabal for this kind of mens sports it gives more strong felling. So personaly I like this uniform.
