Workshop- day 6- (poetry and calligraphy)

I really enjoyed this project especially using ink with a paint brush to create marks, at first I made different marks using a flat headed paint brush looking into different lines, strokes and wave lines. Then I wrote the alphabet again using different strokes each time, and then I used a quote to write it out using ink.

Workshop- day 5- (physcial type layout)

Using words I constructed them into a given space to covey the words actual meanings. After the warm up playing around with different words, I then started making initial CD cover designs to produce a final cover.

Workshop- day 4- (colour and illustration)

I looked at using primary colours in order to create secondary colours in creating my own colour wheel, and then to create tertiary colours. Then I created illustrations using text.

Seymour Chwast & Milton Glaser posters exhibition

Such an amazing exhibition of art work, which drew my attention to graphics (layout, colour and composition).

Workshop- day 3- (Laser cutter induction)

The aim of this workshop was to familiarise myself with up to date technology, using a laser cutter. first of all I started designing what I wanted my end product to look like so I played around with lines, letters and so on, onto Abode illustrator.

Workshop- day 2- (study zone research)

I looked into many areas such as illustration, typography and so on and finally came to the conclusion of designing my book cover based on the illustration field. With this task I got to look more into depth about the layout of both the back and the front.

workshop- day 1-(using Indesign and Photoshop)

I researched and collected Chilean miner photographs, and then using Photoshop I edited the photograph and the finally I presented this in InDesign. This workshop helped me develop and explore my Photoshops skills and finally produce a movie poster.

Manifesto

I designed a personal manifesto based on my experiences and aspirations, I looked at using different layouts and materials, which I enjoyed creating using different words, colours and designs. I carried out research into the past manifestos for referencing.  I like the lines that I created on the background of the paper and on the text, I also hand wrote some of the text as well. I've also used different coloured blocks to add colour to my manifesto design.
