Weather Project - Day 2

The illustrations from Jonny Glover made a massive influence in the route I wanted to take this theme to, perhaps using a similar concept that would be more unexpected for 'weather' e.g. Theses illustrations could perhaps depicts when the weather effects peoples hairstyles depending on the different conditions.

After thinking about this idea I came across an image of the sky, in front was a girl with similar colouring. As the sky and the film 'cloudy with a chance of meatballs' this gave me the idea of combining theses two features together to create 'food hairstyles' representing the weather.

In my opinion after thinking through this concept I felt that it was too confusing representing the weather as there were to many elements within this design.

I need to think of a clearer way of showing the weather but still using that unusual appearance likewise to Jonny Glover.

 

Hidden treasures - Day 2

For this developed design I took the  inspiration from Audrey kitchings inspired eye paintings I took this idea as from a photo I took of a tree near by where I Live. The detail on the tree looked like a eye which is a 'hidden treasure' or a hidden meaning right under our nose. I used a few technquies for this particular design. I used collarges to show the texture of the bark but it didn't really depicts the pattern of the eye. For another development I used a fine liner to symbolise the patter so that the message I'm depicting is clear. I then went on to use tracing paper but I felt that it didn't work aswell as the previous design.

For further refrence I will keep experimenting with different skills and materials in order to produce the right appearance.

Hidden treasures - Day 1

I brainstormed a varity of subjects that would relate to a hidden treasure thinking back to the V&A illustrations from Minho Kwon it's not what it seems a hidden treasure?

I always looked at street art as it is a hidden treasure as many people don't see what others see they perhaps might be a hidden world within ours. There are also hidden meanings in poems and nursery rhymes e.g. In Paula regos art work mice image. 

Overall I felt that I had a good varity of ideas but thought that I ran out of time to develop them.

After brain storming different types of ideas for the weather project I thought about how the weather effects effects the food we eat e.g. Donuts and hot dogs represent sunny weather and Speggette in perhaps wet cold weather.

In my opinion I need to research more on the types of food reales to the different types of weather there.  The note above show he notes I took from a motion graphics lecture explaining different ways of using motion graphics and could help develop and improve my work.

 

Illustration covers - Day 2

From the evaluation from the previous blog I have used the digital element to these designs, among this I have improved the origanal design and used the character 'Penny' fom the Big Bang Theory' so that it would relate even more to the theme. The image on the right depicts the same features as before but I have added a extra feature using circulars to show the amount of planets there are in the solar system.

 This was another theme using media control 

  

I have used the idea of a remote control as a remote control controls the tv which then controls people that watch telly regularly as some information from media can brainwash people into thinking what they want them to.

I felt that I genarated a varity of different design for a a collection of themes I'm my opinion if I had more time I would of developed these designs even more as I felt that two days isn't enough time to create a finalised idea.

 

Illustration covers - Day 1

I thought back to the Barbican, The Pop Art gallery as I thought it was a good starting point for the theme 'the new big bang' using geometric shapes etc. I initially I thought about magazines and that they use some sort of pop art structure within them. Andy Warhole is another great inspiration for this theme aswell. The actual title 'The Big Bang' itself comes in am formats the second thought I had was the proggram 'The Big Bang Theory' I thought about using these characters from the proggram in my illustrations. 

Before I associated the 'The Big Bang Theory' I looked at the word 'bang', the word bangs in America 

It another name for fringes I then took this idea furtur to make a poster which depicts a girl that has 'bangs' (a fringe) and use the planets from the actual  Big Bang; use them as the girls jewellery to depicts the 'New Big Bang'.

In my opinion I think the image above works well as it balances an origanal design but not taking away from the actual theme. I origanal ly used colouring penicls and fine liners just to see a rough idea on what the design would look like. To improve this design is perhaps use a digital version of this design I could aswell develop this idea further using the characters from the Big Bang proggram.

 

Alphabetype -Day 2

I thought of a few new other ways of representing the alphabet. I used the paper itself to create the letters, as I was folding them down I realsied that they made an unusal shape, I used this idea to develop, drawing that shape to create a whole alphabet using unusal shapes and symbols.

Another development, I used fishing wire to create some of the shapes I had already designed one of them perhaps if I had more time I would of created the whole aphabet  and attached them all together to create a 3D sculpture.

From the work of Julie cocksburn I created a simular idea using  embroidery threads likewise in her work to create a a symposia tic, and abstract piece of art work. I felt this gave a good appearance as it's not what it seems this could also portray different languages that different cultures don't understand?
