This artwork "Naked tree" is wonderful and evocative due to the layers of the image of tree with different colour each. There is one with white, red, black and orange. The composition of the layers is well positioned as it creates a dramatic effect and invite the viewer to feel exactly what she tries to communicate. She questions "Where is nature?". The artwork appears to be in any seasons, winter, fantasy, summer, and even in the evening.

Dress

“Creation” Ensemble (detail), fall/winter 2005–6. Beige silk satin, white polyester batting, nude synthetic net, beige cotton braided laces, blue pieced silk with chenille, rhinestone, hammered silver metal, filé, and bead embroidery à la disposition; white leather; beige nylon, polyester batting, and silver metal and pearl hardware with knotted blue silk ribbons.

This dress is created by John Galliano (British, born Gibraltar, 1960) for Christian Dior Couture (French, founded 1947). The dress is simple, and have a unique form because of the mannequin dress it has. IT looks like it is still unfinished, yet he seems to make it look finished garment. However, when we look at the pin foams on the elbow, we will not think the way he thinks. The garment has such combination and question the way people dressed up for the last decade. The use of bustle with great fabrication and embroidered details with the torso have contradicting aspect. As before, women needed to dress up in a flamboyant and modest manner yet here, it uses croset and the skin is really exposed.

However, in overall, this garment has an original design that people would not think off.

Tao Kurihara (Japanese, b. 1973) for tao Comme des Garçons (Japanese, founded 2005). Ensemble, spring/summer 2007. Ivory silk knit; white paper; natural cotton canvas. Gift of Comme des Garçons, 2007 (2007.382.2a–f).

Tao Kurihara is a graduate of the prestigious fashion college of Central Saint Martins in London. She was mentored at Commes des Garçons and, as a protégé of Rei Kawakubo and Junya Watanabe.

Kurihara has such a feminine design by playing with the notion of combining knitwear and lingerie. It was such a unique idea. Lingerie is commonly used as underwear, however she is brave to bring it forward as a garment and to be worn in public. However, it is still modest, even though there is still a sensual feeling radiated.

The dress above is a combination of “a shirt and a wedding.”It is created completely in white, ended with bridesmaids in fine gauged silk knit polo shirts and crinoline hooped skirts of shredded paper.

Tree House

This is the picture i found, this is a restaurant in Japan. The architecture is really unique, as it totally combines nature with  the house. 

THe architecture of 'Frank Llyod Wright'- AMerican has such a great connection to the earth. He uses concrete to reinforce the shape of the design and to maintain the balance. Moreover, due to the use of the concrete, a correspondence to the nature could exist. Most of the buildings are predominantly built for a certain person and location.

The first image is 'Falling water' and the second one is 'Massaro's house' (2005). The Massaro House long building is created in a shape similar to a yacht. It is anchored off a rocky island in the Mahopac lake, New York. The building is extended upon the water in long horizontal lines; with the materials used such as concrete, glass, stone and copper that merge with the surrounding natural landscape.

Movie posters

This poster has the font that is not suitable for the movie, because at the first time, the font is red and attract the viewers, the viewer would think of a cool, full of action and unique plots. The red sometimes could have the indication of involving violent or mystery. However, paradoxically, it is supported by the image of two men laughing which is contradictory. The bold line in the word 'express', there is too much emphasize on it.

The movie poster of the fast and furious has a great font due to the variety of the use of the style and bold letter. The word of 'fast' and 'furious' are emphasized in quite big font. It also indicates the language techniguq such as assonance, to attract the viewer. The 'tokyo drift' is larger and it is arched so it does look like there is a sense of movement.

The bold black colour is really effective here, it is standing out with the white background, and reveal the night life of the car racing.
