Swastika meanings and symbols.

Earliest date of evidence of the swastika dates back to the Indus Valley Civilization of Ancient India as well as Classical Antiquity. Swastikas have also been used in other ancient civilizations around the world. It remains widely used in India  religions, specifically in Hinduism, Buddhism and Jainism, primarily as a sacred symbol of good luck. The swastika is also a Chinese character used in East Asia representing eternity and Buddhism.

The swastika was taken as a symbol by the Nazi Party of Germany in 1920. During Adolf Hitler’s rise to power in the 1930s, the swastika was incorporated into the Nazi party flag. As a result, the Swastika became strongly associated with the Nazis.

The vector artist: Robot

He has several other peices i like such as 'bird cage', i like this because its a monographical composition and its not all his other peices. Robot's art is mainly to do with music because most of his art consists of stereos, turntables, cassetes and instruments.
Not only does Robot do vector art but he also does graffiti.

The vector artist 'Robot' has created several good peices of artwork.
One of my favourite peices of art from the artist Robot is his composition called  "Turntable".
I like this composition due to the colour contrast and the simplicity of the peice.

In his composition 'Graffiti stencil boombox' he uses graffiti for his vector art and has mixed the two well. He has made the colours run and it looks like paint has run down like graffiti.

Also the colour contrasts really well in this art because hes mixed dark and vibrant colours in this peice.

His work is also influenced by guns and crime (murder) because he has done several peices including them like, 'crime scene' 'grunge pistol' and 'logo tools' etc.

I like his artwork for several reasons: the simplicity in most of his peices, the colour contrast, the different things he bases his art upon, such as: music, crime, birds.

He's also based a lot of his work on outlines of people in different backgrounds like in offices, beaches and some in sports such as skating, snowboarding etc.

Overall Robots work would be useful for research and could influence many peoples art.

Vectors

Vector images are made up of many individual, scalable objects. These objects are defined by mathematical equations rather than pixels, so they always render at the highest quality. Objects may consist of lines, curves, and shapes with editable attributes such as color, fill, and outline. Changing the attributes of a vector object does not effect the object itself. You can freely change any number of object attributes without destroying the basic object.Because vector-based images are not made up of a specific number of dots, they can be scaled to a larger size and not lose any image quality. If you blow up a raster graphic, it will look blocky, or "pixelated." When you blow up a vector graphic, the edges of each object within the graphic stay smooth and clean.

  

traditional photo montage

Photomontage is the process and result of making a composite photograph by cutting and joining a number of other photographs. The composite picture was sometimes photographed so that the final image is converted back into a seamless photographic print. A similar method, although one that does not use film.  It is important to note that a photomontage need not necessarily be a montage of photos. it can be photo and text, photo and color, photo and drawing.
