Brainstorm #5

Art and Why It's a Big Deal


Being a Graphic Design major, I believe that art can be very influential. I'd like to cover that fact that art can greatly influence a lot of people just by witnessing a piece for the first time. For example,  Milton Glaser, the designer who made "I <3 NY" [above] made this design to support New Yorks tourism campaign.
... I believe we know how that went. XD
I'm not extremely positive on this topic, but I think it'd be interesting.

Brainstorm #4

Video Games = Art Form?

Yes, this project idea is on video games, but I wanted to step into a deeper subject. "Can video games be considered an art form?" 
[in-game perspective of Dark Souls]

[...and when talking about beautiful games, you got to put Skyrim]

These are just simple examples that video games aren't just about violence and illegal activities. I definitely believe that it has been accepted as an art form for as long as video games have been made!
I would like to try this subject because I have a deep interest in games, and I think it would be fun to cover.

Brainstorm #3

Interview with a Cosplayer
Cosplay-the practice of dressing up as a character from a movie, book, or video game, etc.


I have a neighbor who does cosplay; which is actually a pretty fun subject. He created and is wearing the Bounty Hunter suit in the picture above to the right of Pirate Deadpool. 
I think this would be an interesting subject to cover, and I think he'd be willing to interview for us.
