Literature, Film and Pop Culture: 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.
