Hipsters

Hipster is a word that if a true hipster were to define it, there wouldn't be any a definition. The word doesn't really exist. The word though is generally used to define a person that doesn't believe in enjoying anything that anyone else is interested in. Be it clothes, ideas, entertainment etc.

The examples I've shown are either illustration wise or graphic design. I think that they are interesting or cool becauseof the variances of the the hipster look. Whether or not from the style of clothing to design. I picked the Hipster font also because it really is a font that branded itself very well. With sass and creativity they really sold that font style.The other reason I chose the graphic design side was because of how much its being used now. There is usually a picture and its muted or they use a simple color pallet. Usually yellow, blue or a blueish purple and then put simple shapes or design on it that is of white color.

I also put on my classmates Motion Design project from Sarasota Film Festival because is is very true to the hipster form of graphic design. The simple white graphics over a black and white background and a pop of color. The other thing that sells it as hipster is the look of handmade. Philip hand drew the cell animation in the piece.

For Motion Design I think that the same rules apply as the graphic design. The animation is simple and the designs seems to be a lot alike. The other principles that are there is the simple ribbon, circles surrounding the lettering and maybe 2 of them one slightly smaller than the other. Another thing that they do to the pictures that are underneath their graphics is to blur it. Also giving it an old look to the photo, graphic or both. VINTAGE.

I love the design of the hipster style because its simple yet gorgeous and I usually don't think that way at all. It can be dorky or sassy and I enjoy the dorky side.

Reflections Towards A Hundred Thousand Kingdoms

How are our characters connected to the world? 

The main character is connected to the world by the way that she interest in the world, her two souls living in her and also by the interactions towards the other characters. Interactions with the other characters really sets her in the scene. How the writer makes the situations between them really makes me think that they are in this weird world that doesn't make sense at times and also is oriented in mythology. When she makes her country able to trade with the others is when she is connected in the world too. By making her country able to trade with other countries she is making her new world an influence towards her old. Setting her in both and making the viewer knowledgable about her interest in the two. She also is connected by the relationships. With the King (as her grandfather) and the other people in the kingdom as her family. The whole race is a family and the "bloods" are also a social ring that she is in. Having the mark of a full circle and showing that she is a full blooded family member. This whole world has a history that her family, her and even the gods hold. The other thing that makes her apart of the world is that she has the soul of one of their gods in her. Which makes her apart of the history too. Expecially when she has sex with the other god. Just like all the other gods in history. She is interacting with a lot of the characters by conflict and other wise. The conflict really makes her apart of the world because the character feels like it is interacting more with the world that is built around them. When the character gets grabbed and kissed from the god getting stabbed in the heart, it really makes the viewer feel like they were slammed into a new world or view.
