In the visual wave of the past, painting and design in all aspects have relevance ("design" for foreign words, in traditional China, the corresponding word is "business"), many times are you have me I have your situation, the Western art History of the Renaissance, the new art movement is one of the best examples. As an illustrator and designer, there is a lot of experience in between the two. The understanding of the "layer" of the picture is especially profound.
General in the visual "layer" in the picture or design techniques are showing a clear and important role, with the concept of "layer" to look at the work, do not need too much analysis, can be very intuitive to feel the logic of the picture, direct access to the impact of the visual. On weekdays, when we evaluate the picture, we say that the level, depth, richness, clarity and so on all include the meaning of "layer". If the design thinking of the "layer" is a broad sense of concept, the younger brother is mainly aimed at "visual picture" of the narrow concept of a small statement.

1. Use color shading to differentiate

Let's look at a picture first:

"Monrolisa"

Pantene: The big wave hairstyle of the Mona Lisa

Leonardo da Vinci (not that pit Dad's furniture brand Oh pro, is one of the three Italian Renaissance Mr. Leonardo) is almost omnipotent genius, which design and painting have exceptionally high achievements, his works in addition to contain a strong humanistic color, but also full of a lot of design theory, belong to the rational faction of the college. The demand side is tending to beg for a visit.

Now the Tibetan Louvre "Monorisa" is one of his most popular works, visual images in addition to the use of gold segmentation, three prospects deep techniques, it is clear that the "layer" concept of the use.

Large deconstruction screen can be divided between the characters and the background of two parts, the hands of the characters on the chest, wearing satin, satin and the body between the clothes are different texture, head draped in front of the hair covered with a veil ... As an element analysis, you can also deconstruct the characters of different "accessories." And the background is the Italian landscape, although there is a "horizontal line inconsistency" controversy, the scene also presents a close view of the scene and the prospect of processing, in the farthest still has the existence of the sky. Then each piece of "accessories" subdivision, each body has a level of relationship.

The deconstruction of the above painting elements into a "layer", on the computer can also restore the Mona Lisa.

In the case of the existence of various "elements", Mr. Da Vinci also skillfully used the different colors of classical painting, the "elements" are distinguished. Olive green and the soil brown, qinglian and cadmium yellow, ochre and cobalt greens, are covered in high-grade gray layer, plus the contrast between black and gold, showing an elegant and tranquil visual feeling.

The Mona Lisa, who is smiling but not bald, has become the spokesperson for Pantene. Originally perfect composition, elegant atmosphere, insightful Pantene only need a little modification, add or adjust some "layer", the meaning of the screen is brand-new. So it seems that this picture is really a good photo. The shampoo in this House is also this brand Oh pro.

2. The line of the density of coarse young

Mr. Van Gogh, similar to trapped in the office of the talented but bitter designers, life full of passion to dance the brush (in addition to the mouse, now the designer is also very like to dance the Three Kingdoms Kill), the work of "emotional" moving. (But we will not be paranoid cut the ears of anger, the most of the party or demand side curse a meal)

As a late Impressionist painting, the picture is relatively abstract and concise. In addition to the color of the screen, the most prominent Impressionist painting style is small strokes and contrasting colors strongly. There is also a significant effort in the relationship between the layers: different colors and strokes of the sunflower, opened the same color of the distance, the bottle transverse strokes, as a separate layer to distinguish the above free and unrestrained sunflower; large color block of the desktop and background, as a quiet rear area by the Gold Division.

"Sunflower" picture is already quite contemporary, with the appropriate text graphics, is already a very good graphic design. In the current various magazines, but also from time to time to see the Van Gogh Sunflower as a cover and shine.

3. Size of graphics

The "Birth of Venus", a masterpiece of the Medici, was drawn for a distant brother of Florence's ruler, the modern art museum. This painting shows the goddess Venus floating from the Aegean Sea, The winds, flowers god seeing-off in the scene.

In fact, the composition of this picture is relatively simple, the technique is very simple, belong to the early Italian Renaissance works. Mainly to Venus as the visual center to extend to both sides of the picture. Near there is the god of flowers, so there are accompanied by the wind and flowers, the scenery has the shore, different trees, the Aegean Sea, the mountains of the sky What, the level is very distinct but very integrated.

As a modern design, in fact, this picture of various "layers" can be extracted into design elements. The Japanese art and Design magazine Pen, in the latest issue of the cover of the capture of the "Birth of Venus" Venus in the picture, placed on the right side of the golden section, exaggerated picture proportional relationship with the title of what is a very beautiful vision. However, with the design of fonts and graphics, especially Venus as the "PEN" front of the layer, let the cover presents a simple and interesting visual relationship, both highlight the magazine this period "what the Renaissance" theme, but also very contemporary.

Nils-petter Ekwall, a set of illustrations about city books, precise arrangement, bright colors, interesting compositions ... The city on the illustration looks as beautiful as the world on the phone. Despite the many elements of the screen, the author through the perspective of the arrangement of elements to have a layer. Cutting parts can be a separate picture, very good.

In fact, the use of the layer is now not limited to the plane of the screen, the recent big line of the 3d film, in fact, is also visual "layer" concept of another extension. Today, more and more designers and artists in the "layer" of the visual struggle.

Shintaro Ohata, Japanese artist. He is good at showing scenes like movies in everyday life, and is famous for his unique artistry: putting sculptures together in a piece before painting, combining the expressive force of 2D and 3D

Digital graffiti, Super handsome three-dimensional graffiti, no, this should be called for graffiti sculpture! Another evolution of street culture, the screen of graffiti into a three-dimensional sculpture.

We are not difficult to use the concept of "layer" to deconstruct these works, another taste.

"Layer" is actually an artist or designer of the logical ability of a embodiment of a professional level of designers, external, in addition to the picture presented with the needs of the visual, internal, source files and the collation of the material is very rigorous. and using the concept of "layer" to appreciate painting works, can clearly deconstruct the picture content, can also carry out the operation of the project, will let things smooth and orderly, greatly enhance the efficiency.

PS. Excessive rational analysis will ignore the emotional appeal of the attention, parents, real feelings is also a point to impress others, whether it is to appreciate the works, analysis works, production works, can not rely on a single concept and method, mutual encouragement ~
