HIGH ART 2020 SPOTLIGHT: LOREDANA CODAU
“Granddaddy Purple”
“I tried to imagine how Granddaddy Purple’s portrait would look like, and I saw it as an exotic beauty. Photo compositing in Adobe Photoshop.”
Even though Loredana Codau (@loredana.codau.design) didn’t start as a graphic designer, but as an art historian, she always knew how important is to manage creating a content that transmits a specific message, a story, a feeling to the viewer. Art history helped her a lot in understanding that every visual product had a context, a purpose and a meaning behind, all of these elements being highlighted through the different styles and chromatic used. In the same time, being in an art related discipline, it fueled her creativity and her outside the box thinking. Graphic design stands in great lines for the same principles with which she is so familiarized. Thus, she loves to create graphic, photo composites and motion design in Adobe Photoshop and Adobe Illustrator.
She entered “Granddaddy Purple” during High Art 2020.
