Poster Cabaret - 0 views

    Here is the other website that I look back to frequently. I don't want to spam the message board with websites that are largely just "inspiration" sites, but if any of you are interested in others, I have a bunch and am always looking to trade.

Dante's 'Inferno' Makes A Hell Of A Video Game : NPR - 0 views

  • In the video game version, he's doing it all for love. Beatrice, a love from the real Dante's life, becomes the fictional Dante's reason for going to hell — he must rescue her from the clutches of Satan.
  • These plot twists are a far cry from the poem, which is woven with philosophical discussions and monologues about life and death.
  • Italian poet was trying to reach out to ordinary folks with his writing.
  • ...4 more annotations...
  • maybe those Dante scholars just don't play video games.
  • impressed by the renderings of the river Styx
  • But he doesn't think you can really compare a game to a poem.
  • it's not a narrative in the way that a movie or a text or a work of literature is

    I don't have much experience with video games (I still rock out with Sonic on my Sega Genesis), but this could be a gateway game for me. I love the concept of adapting and crossing lines of genres and mediums, but it's interesting to note some of the dramatic differences and losses that must take place in translation. In this example there are some real game changers (I'm not sorry for the pun) involving plot and narrative. It's as if Dante has suddenly been inspired by Mario and must save the princess from the castle. I wonder what the equivalent of Yoshi would look like in the 7th ring of Hell...

    Reminiscent of Goldsmith's idea of appropriation.  (Also, if I remember right, he mentions Satie during the book's opening chapters.)

20x200 | Affordable Art Prints - 0 views

  •  
    This is a website that offers limited print, affordable art. I like to look at what is being done other places to get ideas for my own work. This website and one other one (which I will post next ... which you'll see first) are two websites that I like to look at a lot for stylistic ideas of how to do poster designs, typographic designs, website designs, and book covers.
