Fonts
The font I have used are from www.identifont.com
1. eurostile
The Eurostile typeface is a geometrical sans – serif typeface. After making the mistake of Microgramma by only having upper-case letters Novarese decided to add lower case letters, a bold condensed variant and an ultra narrow design to the eurostile type family. It has a large x-height and is unique without being ‘show’. For example, it doesn’t act as a replacement for sans serif text faces like Universe or Franklin Gothic. Nevertheless, Eurostile is easy to use and it has the added benefit of standing out from the crowd of other typefaces in the sans serif genre. While many individual letters distinguish Eurostile on there own, some of the most interesting are the K and lower case k, which have diagonals that do not touch the vertical stroke or the lowercase t, where the crossbar is long on the right and the long tail curves all the way back to vertical. A, M, N, V, and W all have flat apexes, and the Q has a strange tail longer on the inside of the character than on the outside. Eurostile’s lowercase a is of the traditional two-storied variety found in 19th century grotesques and most roman types. The crossbar of the f mimics that of the t, and the g is a single-storied, like that found in Helvetica or Futura.

Aboriginal Motifs by bigboi158
Aboriginal Motifs
Functions & Philosophies
One principle and protocol is respect.
As the original inhabitants of Australia, Aboriginal culture, images, design, stories and cultural expressions should always be respected. For example, when organising an exhibition, installation for local, state or national significance, it is always respectful to invite a representative of the traditional owners of the land and give a ‘welcome to country’ address. This address is cultural protocol when relating to indigenous people of the land.
Another example of respectful protocol was an incident involving the Metropolitan Land Council (MLC) in Sydney. It was consulted by Fiona Foley of Badtjala heritage in Queensland when she was developing a public artwork to be installed in Gadigal country, Sydney. This ensured it would not be offensive to the local community.
Another is Indigenous control.
Indigenous people have the right to determine how there culture will be used and in what context. They have the right to own and control there heritage which includes Indigenous motifs, art, stories and other forms of cultural expression. Involve Indigenous people including, artists, curators and communities in all stages of a project relating to there community or heritage.

Moral Rights and Issues

Banduk Marika Djanda and the Sacred Waterhole, 1988 6 colour linocuts, ink on paper 53 cm x 29.5 cm Collection of the National Gallery of Australia Licence courtesy of the artist.
So if I was to use Aboriginal imagery or motifs as inspiration or as a basis for a drawing or design, I would have to reference the artist or designer. If it involved something on a more grander scale I would have to get permission from the Aboriginal community.

Native American motifs by bigboi158
Native American motifs
Washington Redskins
The Washington Redskins are a NFL (national football league) franchise based in Maryland, Virginia, USA. Their logo consists of a Native American In a circle with yellow and white feathers coming of the side of it. It has sparked controversy over the years in relation to some Native Americans who find it Insensitive towards their culture and identity.
The logo from a design perspective doesn’t really jell together. The feathers go to far below the circle making the logo seem unbalanced. The colours derive from the teams uniforms and it would be a safe bet that they are influenced by colour used in Native American art. The chief inside the circle is the main focal point and draws your attention to him because of the thick stroked circle and the contrast of his dark face and the white background.
I personally don’t like the logo at all and evidently, after doing some research its constantly called one of the worst logos in the NFL and I can see why. It’s very bland and the colours are quite boring. And to top it of it seems like there’s blood on the feathers and they’ve made it yellow... I’ll let you guess what that could mean.

Clash Of The Titans By BigBoi158
1) Who are the Titans?
The Titans where powerful deities who ruled ‘the Greek Golden Age’ which was one of the five ages of man in Greek mythology. The titans where descendants of Gaia and Uranus, the great mother and father of all living things.
In Hesiods Theogony, the Titans and there descendants the Olympian gods wage a ten year war called Titanomacy. This was a series of battles fought in Thessaly before the existance of mankind. By the end of the war the Olympians emerged victorious and imprisoned the Titans in Tartarus thus becoming the gods of mankind (after they had being created).
2)Are the any interesting motifs you see frequently appearing (Eg. Lightning bolts)? How do you interpret their meaning? Can you name a modern version, of this motif, used today?
One motif was of course Zeus’s lighting bolts/strike, which in just about every material relating to Greek Mythology is always mentioned. In Clash of The Titans Zeus strikes down lighting or something similar at least twice to help out Perseus. A lighting bolt is bright and always white symbolizing good. Hades on the other hand, who appears in the movie, is always black and evil looking. Basically its the classic tale of good vs evil we continuously see and hear throughout movies, religion, books and on the news.

3) Is your Greek character in the movie? If so, does the film’s interpretation match your research?
No, my character Triton was not in the movie.
No, my character Triton was not in the movie.
4) Are any of the characters, in the movie, related (Eg. a mother or father, wife or husband, brother or sister) to your Greek myth? If so, how?
Tritons father Poseidon is mentioned in the opening scene when the lady is telling the history of the war with the titans. Him, Zeus and Hades (all brothers) led the rebellion against the titans.

5) Is their a constellation of stars named after your Greek character?
No, but one of Neptune largest moons is called triton.

6) How is Medusa killed? Does your Greek character have a weakness?
Medusa was killed by getting her head chopped of. As Perseus and his band of brothers struggled to not look into medusa’s eyes which unfortunately turned some of them into stone , he used his quick wits, did a back flip and chopped her head of. Her snake body slithered into the firery depths of hell.
There is no known weakness of Triton.
