Pillsbury Bake Off Poster With Poppin’ Fresh! Inspired by Lichtenstein comic prints.
The pillsbury company is part of Minneapolis based General Mills company. Today, they are renowned for providing a wide range of baking products. The company also host bake off contests which is advertised every year. This image is of the Pillsbury doughboy - one of their major icons/mascots for the brand which appears on advertising campaigns, packaging and TV advertisements. I think this is a great brand to use to apply Lichtenstein’s style technique, primarily to the doughboy.
Identifying Style
Roy Lichtenstein’s “Girl with hair ribbon” uses bright, contrasting, bold and primary colours including, red, yellow and blue. Highlights are used by solid white shapes as a pose to using a tone of colour. The face, lips, neck and shoulder of the girl are illustrated with a certain colour however are made up of a series of repeating dots. Both the colours and line style are solid and clean. In many areas such as the outlines of the hair, the black lines are quite thick and curved. As the print does not have very much negative space it has a very clean, cropped, dynamic layout. By having the thick, and contrasting static “lettering area,” it adds weight and strength. The print makes a 2D, flat, comic style image by using a vector or cut paper technique. The only type evident is “Roy Lichtenstein” and the name and year of the print “Girl with hair ribbon, 1965,” where the lettering style is a clean sans serif. Lichtenstein’s prints reflect the 1960s within the period of “Pop Art.”
I love black and white photography or polarizing images. Edie Sedgwick - In the photo booth by Andy Warhol.
I’m also a huge fan of Warhol’s Pop Art. I based my unit four folio on his “Marilyn Monroe” artwork, where i made a model of a cake tin with a 2D comic - like face of Marilyn embosed into the cake tin. So in “reality” you can make heaps of them and frost them in different colours to make your own pop art cake! However it was only a model made out of plaster so no baking for me!
