Pop Culture Example


Working at a movie theater, it was inevitable that I would hear about the  final Twilight movie.  Ever since the vampire/werewolf book series came out, there have been copiers and knock-off versions of it.  Such as "Vampire Diaries," ("VP")  a T.V. series that started in 2009.  I admit I watch "Vampire Diaries," and noticed its uncanny similarities to "Twilight;" not just the vampires and werewolves, but the love triangle between a young human girl and two males.

These two images represent the love triangle in both of the stories.  In this example,  the "Twilight" image has the girl in the foreground while the two males are on either side her in the background.  The "VP" one at the top has a more intimate setting, having the characters lying down next to each other, the girl is still centrally place to emphasize the relationship that they have with each another.

I just thought that these images were good examples of modern design to compare and contrast in this digital era as well as be a good example to what is current in pop culture.
