We began the final day of visual communication by splitting into groups and then pairs too learn each others project and then present it in a group crit.

In the second half of the day we had to take someones typeface and develop it into a 3D installation. My group decided that the most striking idea was someones idea to make a death chair and then use the type too ad quote too the surroundings.

I found this activity very effective as we worked well as a group and produced work that i think not only has a visual style but also has great meaning.

First we cut out and placed together images of the stars from the movie in photoshop.

We then created the background colour and added the time in illustrator before adding the names of the cast with a margin to complete the poster.

On the second day we begun the day by talking about the course again but more specifically looking at illustrators work that related to our final piece task of creating a typeface and then a slogan based final piece. I was particularly interested in the work of Jean Jullien and Bob Roberta Smith.

I decided to base my idea around the eu and young people, so i began researching into symbols as well as objects associated to the EU.

I then took this idea of using the EU symbols of the starts to create the letters and began working on this.

I decide I liked this and that I wanted the run with this and the typeface for my final piece. I also choose the slogan R EU MINE? as a pun on the arctic monkeys song R U MINE as a comment on the state of the EU negotiations and because this song is so popular with young people.

Now i was happy i began to draft for the final piece and then create it:

I decided to present in the way i have because i wanted too portray it as a love note between two young people as a comment on young people relationship with the EU as well as the people in it. It also like with the song name as is the kind of thing you would expect in a love letter.

 

On day one of Visual communication we began the day talking about the pathway and then began our task of creating the letter c however we wanted 3 times. I hadn’t found any interesting to work with until i started experimenting with binder clips to create the shape of the letter.

While i was outside however i noticed the individual sections of the parts that made up the exterior of Ravensbourne and was inspired to use waste material and replicate the pattern.

For my final letter c i wanted to push the boundaries in terms of scale and definitions of what makes a c. I came up with the idea if instead of creating the body of the c i start to block out the areas of a window too create the letter c from the negative space. I then played with my phones setting too get the biggest contrast to show the letter.

Foe the final task of the day and a bit of the next day we had too go and find letters from our surroundings and create an alphabet.
