Stephen Kroninger!

What kind of art/design does he produce?
Stephen Kroninger uses various magazine/photo cutouts to collage together an image!

In what publications/media studios has his work been featured?
Time magazine (on the cover!), the Museum of Modern Art, where he had a solo exhibit, and is a regular contributor to Time, Newsweek, The New Yorker, and the New York Times!

Post 2 samples of his art. Answer the following questions for each piece...
Was this piece published? Where?
Yes, in the book Tie Your Socks and Clap Your Feet: Mixed-up Poems By Lenny Hort, illustrated by Stephen Kroninger

What principles of design were utilized within the piece? How?
Emphasis is incorporated into this design, especially with the man's head, which is made of a piece of toast, while variety in patterns is used (for every material), asymmetrical balance of the large man that takes up a whole page and the smaller table, and proportion (rather odd proportion) shown where the chair is very small, as well as the table, but the food is big and the man is big as well.

What elements of design were utilized?
Texture, shape, line (of the arm and table), and color

Was this piece published? Where?
On Time Magazine's website, yes, it was.

What principles of design were utilized within the piece? How?
Repetition of the books, proportion (with the large eyes and mouth on a big head, next to small books), balance of the face and the chef's hat, emphasis on the fire-y eyes, unity is seen with the use of kitchen supplies and the food, though variation is also used with the books

What elements of design were utilized?
Line, shape, some space (with the hat, kind of), a tad bit of texture on the hat, and color!
