Book Adaptation.

Here we were asked to bring into the lesson an old book which would be able to cut into and effectively destroy I chose a ring binder instruction booklet I wanted to get away from the original old novel which i was sure to a lot of in the lesson I thought something bigger A4 size would create more of a challenge. The booklet was instructions for some see machinery it had images of cogs and bolts and screws therefor very industrialised i immediately thought of an interaction book something which you could learn from and turn things etc. As the rest of the group was cutting there pages up i wanted to create tabs which could be moved to represent this interacting with the book as if you would reading the instructions.

Book Fair

For the book fair my subject began with objects in threes and had to be horizontal in the center of the frame. Then after brainstorming I began thinking of other ways which i could encorporate the number three into this. After thinking about this i began thinking about other threes and looked at time and watches recording watches when the hans faced to the number three. I then illustrated them and created the hot dog dog fold.

Experimenting with dog fold

Experimenting with dog fold

These were experiments with the Hot Dog fold how you can change and adapt the original fold. I am doing this in preperation for the Book Fair as w have to use this design in A4 or A3 size papers. I have just tried to adapt what i have done with the book as what type of paper I have used and I let this affect what I was going to do with it. I enjoyed doing this and was surprised how much I was able to get out of it. Quick easy and effective LIKE IT!!

Photoshop Brief Visual Language

This brief was to create 10 A6 postcards using lighting techniques from our visual language photoshop workshop.. her were my experiments....

The third part of freds visual language lesson we learnt how influential colours can be to each other how they make one colour appear differently when placed onto another so throughout the lesson we had coloured paper and placed our objects onto these this time we had a few violet and the complimentry to this which was yellow we put them onto the coloured paper and took pictures of these. on the darker colours such as black the yellow appeared more luminous. These were the experiments we did...

visual language -with fred!

Fred did visual language talks concentrating on colour we all got different colours to collect i had to get 10 violet objects i got a range of shades in this colour. the group was then told to split up into groups together with the other people who had the same colour as we did. Then we were told to organise the items any way which we could my group chose to do dark to light we thought this would have the better effect when we had finished.

For the second part of this task we had to choose 10 objects from our collection we chose 10 extremeties of the colour range and fred talked about Pantone and then we had to get the exact colour from the Pantone swatches which he had.

This task was set to create a letterform using the boxes which we had collected at first we didn't know exactly what we were trying to achieve or what letterform to choose which would work the most effectively. We had an idea from the channel 4 adverts and how they create the number 4 in strange set ups high rise buildings hay bayles etc. then we were told we had to work with the shadows which completley confused the group! We decided we would try creating the letter E arranged the boxes a few times on took images through the view finder. Then we had black card and white then had to ciut and stick the card onto the boxes which made the letterform really clear!! why we arranged the boxes i have know idea if it was going to be made this obvious in the end we decided to make an L in the end it looked ok but our group find it hard communicating our ideas and really struggled with the understanding of the task.
