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!!!!

self works again

unfortunately, i got sick these days,

but i still keep doing some works,

the first one, actually, is for the presentation of ditto press project,

i found a cool image on the street, it's a poster of skull which construct by flowers.

i thought it might be cool if this image combine with the patterns i made,

so i took the experiment by screen printing, the outcome is almost the same as i expected,

but Ben, the ditto press tutor, said it's too complex, he wanna something more simple....

anyway, i still like the outcome.

another work is photography,

recently i learned the skill of developing photos,

this photo is the first one which been made all by myself.

love darkroom!!!!!!!!!

working week

last week, i signed-up many work shops and did many own works.

the first one was darkroom workshop,

this is what i expected for since i joined this course,

i learned how to develope photos by myself,

it is so~~~interesting,

so far i dont have my own photos, i wanna post the photo i took, so we'll see.

the next workshop is screen printing. it's so cool to use this printing machine,

i used the copy of patterns from my project "ditto press" to make it,

i think the outcomes are great,  

i'll do some more in my free time.

the last one, i made it at home,

one of classmates made the outcome of the patterns, i think it's great,

so i tried to make mine also,

i used photoshop to make it,

it's quite nice~

unexpected work for ditto press

18th jan, we used dice to randomly fill up the squares

karl asked us to throw two time for each square, one for X co-ordinate, the other one is for Y co-ordinate.

we had to fill up 36 squares of 72. 

and we have 6 kinds of shapes to choose.

i was thinking, since we had to use dice to fill up, why not also use it to decide what shape i fill with,

so i threw three times for each square.

 here is the outcome

these are classmates' works

all we used are just dice, so it's cool and surprise that we could have these images,

 the second experiment is to used these images to describe three different statistics.

1. human populations

2. by-election results for oldham East and Saddleworth

3. football league table

this exercise is harder than i thought, not as easy as it looks.

the first one we used number of square to define the size of the area 

and used color of square to define how crowded is that area.

from the top, the area is Asia, Africa, the Americas and Caribbean, Europe, Oceania.

the second example we tried to make in 3d way.

the size and color are still symbol of group and numbers of people.

and we also linked them together to let them like a group of statistic.

the third one was killing us, maybe it was almost the time class had dismiss,

we couldn't find good idea for it.

still, we made it.

these are the images our group made.
