Hi-Res

First impressions from Hi-Res is that it boasts its globalisation, as it has offices based across the globe, in London, Hamburg, Berlin and New York, already saying a lot about the company with regards to its popularity.

I will be looking into the work it has done for “MTV HiJack!”

Hi-Res state that this video was supposed to be a obscure and play on reality as we know it, and even though I can understand how the idea of using a computer desktop interface can have this impression, as the internet and technology have arguably different realities to that which is outside of technology, I can’t really understand where this (video) would have been used. I imagine that this long video would have been broken up and used as idents whilst the program is showing, or used as the title sequence? I am not too sure.

Chris Ware

When it comes to notoriety surrounding cartoon and comic book design, Chirs Ware is way up there with many awards supporting his work from multiple years such as the Harvey and Eisner awards. Embedded within all these awards and notoriety is some of his most well known work for the ACME Novelty Library

An example of Ware’s work on “Jimmy Corrigan” – http://romococo.com/litcon/chris-ware/

The image above is another example of Ware’s work. “Jimmy Corrigan, The Smartest Kid on Earth” is a graphic novel which was released in 2000 and within a short space of time had awards backing it up. In 2009 the publication found its way into one of the “100 Best Books of the Decade” by The Times.

This was a piece of work that really caught my eye because it (and i’m not sure what this means) but of Stewie from Family Guy!

Not only this but the 40s and 50s style, layout and typeface is something which I find very nice to look at.
