Other - Visual Arts

Im an advertising major and in part of a course project I was instructed to come up with a creative cover letter idea. Breaking the current conventions this letter has to stand out (the basic idea is that it stands out from a pile of a hundred 8x11 white letters). This can be done through the delivery or format.

Im at a complete loss here as all the ideas I've had have been done before so if you have any idea please let me know.

Past formats (so you get an idea): A poster. A cover letter rolled up inside a soccer ball. However it has to be on paper (so no videos or cds)

PS. This only refers to the cover letter, not to a resume.
And "fancy paper" is not a good suggestion.

Go crazy!

What reasons do artists give as to WHY they create what they do - especially 'conceptual' art?

I want to make a life size version of a movie character (human male) for myself and my friends amusement, sillyness, jokes, etc. I've looked around online but can only find patterns for small dolls. I don't want him to be paper mache or like a statue, but somewhat soft and posable. Just to be clear I'm not doing this for anything dirty (which is another prob i ran into looking around online). Any help, advice, tips, patterns would be extremely helpful.

More specifically, an offset press where they print magazines, etc. I want a more in-depth explanation than "rollers put ink on the paper"

Thanks :)

My friends and I are going to make a condolence poster for our friend and her son who just passed away. We're giving it to her husband for Christmas.
I'm debating on either an 8X10 poster with a picture of her and her son under a rainbow with their names along with birth and death dates. Then we all sign it and write our condolences.
Or
same idea as above but on a 16X22 poster board along with a collage of old photos from high school and other special event and photos of her son's first steps, Christmas etc.

I wrote them for my bro who died when i was 16 (i just turned 18 in august...)
Please tell me what you think of them, if they are any good or not....

"The days go by,
My life goes on.
But every beat my heart makes,
Just reminds me you’re gone.
It hurts so much,
sometimes it’s hard to even breathe.
The tears just won’t stop,
As I wonder why you had to leave.
You were just a kid, and I was too,
And I’d give anything,
For just one more moment with you.
You were my brother,
And in my heart you’ll always stay.
You feel so close,
How can you be so far away?
The empty space in my heart,
Holds the memory of you.
And here you’ll never die again,
As my heart now beats for two.
As my heart beats, for you…"

I want to make a condolence poster for my friend and her son who died last month in a car accident. It's going to have their picture, name, birth to death date and I'm going to get as many friends as possible to sign it then I'm going to present it to her family. I need ideas for a design. It's only going to be 8X10 because I'm going to frame it. I was thinking about a rainbow with the picture under the rainbow, in the rainbow saying In Loving memory of.. Another idea I was thinking of was the picture in a heart overt he heart saying In Loving Memory of.. but I think both ideas are too childish. Anyone have any other ideas.
If this helps, my friend was a swimmer and played water polo. Her hobby was photography.

but I don't know what, or how.
It should be nature-related, mostly. Flowers would do.
Can anybody recommend a good website

I'm looking for one or two specific slogans which I remember clearly, as I need them to illustrate a Power Point presentation this Sunday. They will either say "If you're not part of the solution, you're part of the problem" or "If you're not with us, you're against us." I know both expressions were used during the 1960s and 1970s, but I've checked everywhere I can think of, and can't find a picture of one! Please help!

Go to Wikipedia and search "typeface" if you don't know what a typeface is.

Back in 1994, an artist by the name of Rachel Whiteread filled the last, undemolished house in a street in Tower Hamlets with concrete and then removed the house itself, leaving only the insides.

It won her the Turner Prize and was a haunting piece of artwork. It seemed to be the 'soul' of an old house and people came from all over the world to see it.

On 11 January 1995, it was demolished by the local council. Had they left it, thousands of tourists would have flocked to the area each year just to look at it, bringing much-needed money to the local area and putting Tower Hamlets on the map for the RIGHT reasons.

Today, another total a**e of a councillor has demanded that a mural by the world-famous grafitti artist Banksy, be destroyed. Why? Because, in the opinion of this lame-brain councillor, 'all grafitti is wrong.'

Banksy's work has fetched £200,000 an item. But, once again, Tower Hamlets council 'knows best.'

I think they're wrong yet again - what do you think?
