Tutorial for Text and image

When i had a tutorial with kit, it gave me a better understanding of the project, and made me realise what i have to do, and what each section consists of. It gave me more ideas to better my project and made me feel better after.

Letterpress final session

The final session i thought went really well aswel, and this time i came up with some really interesting designs, we had to make a abstract image using a word, or words from are writen piece, and i think my design came out really well and i think there is alot to look at in the image which keeps your eye attached.

Illustrator first session

I didnt know illustrator that well before i started the session so it was really helpful to me to have some lessons on it. I learnt alot about illustrator in this session. Then when i went into the second session i built up again a better understanding of illustrator and came out with few few little designs.

Letterpress second session

This lesson went better this time, and i enjoyed it more, came up with some designs using some words from a poem about a journey of life. These designs came out really well i thought and were more eye catching this time, but that probably was because this time we used coloured inks and were setting them out better on the page.

Photoshop second session

In this lesson i just built up on things that i didnt know about photoshop, which was good because i may need to use those techniques in the future.

Photoshop first session

I thought this session was pretty pointless until the end of the lesson this is because i already know how to use photoshop but towards the end of the lesson i learnt a few things i didnt know which was good.

Letterpress first session

In this session we learnt how to use the letterpress techniques, and made a few bits of text using words we have chosen. Pieces of work came out ok but wasnt overly amazing.

London trip to see Kyle Cooper

The trip to London went really well, got to see a different place. Went in and had a look at a art exibition, where the art is from people who are in prison. Saw alot of places within London, i could only manage to take a few images though, this is because my camera broke while i was there. The reason for going to London was to see a designer could Kyle Cooper, and for him to show us his work, i really enjoyed this, it gave me a better understanding of the graphics/multimedia industry and his work inspired me, i thought some of his work was amazing and that i could learn something from his designs.

Drift Critique

When we did the drift critique it helped me out alot because it told me what the bad points and what i had to change. But instead of changing my design i started again and made a new design, which is better than the first one and works well at showing a journey.

Type and tape

The aim by the end of the day was to have created are own type using tape, we were to this in are groups, mine being a group of 4, using only tape todesign are typeface. First of all we just sketched a few ideas down, then played around with the tape to see its charastics, then we finally went outside and found a wall to do are designs on. The idea of are type to keep the charastic of the strong, sharp edge, but also to have it to feel like it is part of the wall, so carving the tape to follow the indents of the wall.

Illustration with card

We were asked to find a image from the pictures that we had taken in the poole trip and develop an illustration from that image. For this task i choose to use an image of the back of two boats, i choose this because its what reminds me most about poole, boats in the water tide up against the paving and also the text on the back of the boat had poole written on it. I think that my illustration came out ok, and reflected the image but it wasn't that powerful of an image.
