typography workshop

last friday,1st of april,

i took the workshop of typography by jo.

The brief is :

Using typography you will be developing the use of

 emphasis within a London poem or song, which will be provided.

 You will be exploring the use space, size and weight within a set shape.

I choose Lilly Allen's LDN

I was trying to use only text to create a image like CD cover,

at first I couldn't find any idea or inspiration,

but i still made one first for experiment:

to me, it's no reason and not interesting for me to make like this,

later, I thought that why not searching this song and taking a listen?

so i did:

The music is quite happy, 

so if it has to be the cover of it, 

the image should be suitable.

then i started playing around,

i even put the lyrics of the song on the top

 to try to make some un-normal ways which the feelings of songs of Lilly Allen give me.

29/03/11 mono print

last tuesday, i took the workshop of mono print.

Using a metal board with inks, and tracing on a paper from a image by hands,

maybe it's the teaching of the tutor, i felt boring at first,

but after i started doing mine and looking at others',

i got interesting with this work.

though people used the same images to trace,

 the outcomes are totally different from each other,

maybe it's because people focus on different part of the image even it is the same one.

the outcomes are surprisingly good,

so, here they are mine: 

Texture - Unseen

last friday, 25th of march

i joined jo's workshop

which is called Texture - Unseen

the brief is:

Using 2 allocated words,

 you will be collecting visual representations of the textures described. 

What textures can you find which don’t adhere to the stereotypes of London,

 Look at representing London in a new light.

the two words we got are "sharp"and "wrinkly"

we took the photos of plastic bags and the arrow of the uni's wall.

the outcome is quite nice in our group,

and others are great as well,

but i was surprise that Jo didn't give us many directions, 

just left us start doing.

anyway, here are the outcomes of ours.

last work for wallpaper project

this monday was our presentation for wallpaper project.

we kept researching and developing.

after finish, thinking about these weeks,

it's stressful but fulfilled, i really like this project,

i learned a lot and improved myself from this project.

anyway here are some other outcomes for wallpaper. 

five different badges with the cover design.

the package is the shape of wallpaper logo.

and also, from this project,

i realized the important of layout.

it took me lots of time to make the pdf for the presentation

only because i tried to make good layout.

wallpaper magazine project developement

So, few days ago i finished two projects,

now i have to focus on my wallpaper project.

i want to develop about wallpaper free badges.

at first, i want to use the way of a whole collection of badges to let audiences collect,

but after meeting our client Meirion last friday,

he gave me the idea that if people sign up the wallpaper member online,

they could give the free badges,

i start making some samples,

i realized that good package of badges could be more attractive for people,

so i search some ideas of badge packages.

i wanted to make some ideas like these, using badges to make a big image

but after talking to Meirion, i changed the idea to be more simple.

 this badge cover give me some ideas,

i think im gonna follow this idea.

darkroom trip

last friday

i went to darkroom for developing some photos,

at first it was hard for me to make good photos

because it has to be considered of focusing, light, exposing time and contrast.

but practice makes perfect, i got better and better,

here are my works which i developed last friday.

the the last two are the latest two i developed in this day,

the last two are my favorite.

ditto project

these days, i use screen print very often.

i made some outcomes for my ditto project.

i choose some of them to put here

the last one i like the most

 but director ben choose this one 

he told me to make this image further

so now i have to keep doing this project,

it's going to be very busy but i dont care,

i am so exciting my work has been chosen.

anyway, keep going!!!!
