Diane Kruger is an artist whose works has been seen in numerous places; magazines, billboards posters, bus cards etc. Her trademark consists of black and white imagery, layering red, white, and or black texts to her works. Along with being an artist, she is also a photographer. Barbara’s uses many elements and principles in her photographs. Her use of repetition, variety, color, space, and texture gives the viewer a lot of variety to take in. They also have a sense of unity. Her use of color makes certain elements come out of the picture more. The color of her words against her black and white photographs gives the photograph contrast, making parts more dominant than others, but still fitting harmoniously. Kruger most likely used Photoshop to edit her photographs after taking them. Most of her work consists of layering the words over top of her images. What I like about her work is that is it so simple, yet so bold. Just a plain black and white image with white letters and a red background behind it, with the right eye catching phrase can speak loud amongst other highly popular animated covers. Her work inspires me in the sense that i know that sometimes less can be so much more.
