This is the link to a new design company in Manchester:
http://weusecrayons.co.uk/
I really like its simplicity. They do not try to show of but everything seems to be design carefully. Even the colours are chosen for a reason. I think the name "We use crayons" is interesting and fresh just like this company's website. I like also their logo. Its a little bit abstract and futuristic but it does say a lot about the company's objectives. It is in my opinion a very good and creative website.

6 styles in Manchester- Pop Art
Pop Art:
Charlotte March, “Donyale Luna with Earrings for ‘Twen’ magazine”, 1966 (photography)
in “20th CENTURY PHOTOGRAPHY”
This photograph is in my opinion an example of Pop Art. It is a fashion photograph for the popular German magazine “twen” and we can well recognize the typical 1960s make-up. This photograph is figurative, glamourous and of course commercial. Being a magazine’s photograph, it is an example of popular- ”low culture”. It presents an African American supermodel, who played roles in several of Andy Warhol’s films. I really admire this photograph and I think it is a very good example of Pop Art, despite the fact that it is still black and white photograph.
Sculpture in Manchester, Northern Quarter
I found this sculpture in the Northern Quarter, in Manchester and I thought it looked like a Pop Art artworks. It reminds me of Andy Warhol’s Campbell’s soup”s images because it uses everyday objects. It is an example of “low culture”. Like Pop art this sculpture is full of humour and also is ironic towards art. I found it particularly funny because somebody put two bin bags next to this artwork. I am a big fan of Northern Quarter and one of the reasons why I like it, is this Pop Art influenced sculpture. I chose this artwork as a Pop Art example but I can see also Surrealistic features in it; the size of it or the situation, the place where we find the hugh brush. Unfortunately I don’t know who made it. I think it is a very good sculpture.

6 styles in Manchester- Cubism
Cubism:
Jaromir Funke, Untitle, 1927 (photography) in The Photo Book
This work is in my opinion an example of Cubism in photography. It gives us an impression of multiple viewpoints by using strong lights from few different points. The image visually breaks apart and rebuilds itself and that is how it creates a new reality. The artist wanted to test the viewer’s perception by giving them this puzzle picture. As it is a photograph of shadows it is a very flat image. Although it was made 9 years after Cubism as an art movement had officially finished, it still has cubist qualities. I am a big fan of this photograph, I think it is a fantastic photograph.
The Imperial War Museum North in Manchester
I think that the Imperial War Museum North in Manchester has got some typical Cubist elements. It does not use traditional conventions of another museum. The building seems to be fragmented, disintegrated and reformed back in its structure. It definitively shows multiple viewpoints. Visitors need to walk around the building to discover all its shapes and forms. It is again like a puzzle game for the visitor. I think this building is very interesting and I really like it. It is not just a Cubistic example, it shows also some attributes typical for Futurism.
