Greetings from The Stuffed Animal Review, a publication dedicated to the analysis of stuffed creature design and their larger worlds. You have stumbled upon what The Review refers to as its Sunday through Friday posts: random images of stuffed animals doing silly things. Feel free to dig deeper into the purpose of this blog by clicking on the “Philosophy” page. Join us on Saturday for more substantive musings.
Thursday Thought
This week’s Sunday through Friday Posts are dedicated to the Corollary of Balance…
The over-exaggeration of color is a no-no in The Review’s book. Color should stay within a “real-world” palette while allowing for fun exaggeration. The flamingo below is a good example. Flamingos found in the wild, at the zoo, or in the opening scenes of Miami Vice, are not bright candied pink. Real flamingos are light pink with peachy-pink accents. But florid hues immediately come to mind when one mentions this exotic wading bird. The designer intelligently took the common association and gave it punch. [Even though this post is about a flamingo and not a turkey, Happy Thanksgiving from The Review.]
