new term, new project, new energy

the christmas holidays has ended, i have to more improve myself on the new term.

i'll work harder on my course and blog, start this term.

the first class i joined is the brief of my new project "ditto press"

we went to the work place of ditto press, the room is middle-size but full of their works,

the director Ben introduced the machine of printing and showed some of their works for us.

 this project we are gonna make some prints to let their audiences attract of the printing machine

i really feel exciting about this.

the next day, 11st of Feb 2011, we started researching the skills we need of this project.

because this printing could only print 12 colors in basic, we have to learn creating image in only few color. we start analysing and separating the colour of image. 

this is the image we used to practice, karl wanted us to use the shape of this image to separte the color,

the first part of this photo i catched is the gradient colors of the sky, so i tried to make that in three papers 

at first i felt it doesn't look very well, then i realized it looks nice if looking at it in a distance.

 the second exercise is to make patterns, it's much harder than i thought.

i used the spots to create my first pattern

i put 4 sources of spots together and cut them in center by rolling out.

 finished cutting! 

 i wanted to stick in ordinary at first, but i accidentally found that it might be cool if i made some turn, so final outcome is like this.

i copied it to 4 and sticked them together, it's quite nice i think.

here is another i made, because the first one took me too many time, this one ,

 to me, is the ordinary one.
