Image Module - 2d 3d

This was the situation that I had to create in 3D and turn back into 2D.

with a shoe horn
the colour that was selected was taupe.

This was a very enjoyable brief for me because it forced me to think outside the box and took me out my comfort zone. It also allowed me to experiment with photography which is something that I would like to continue with and learn more about.



This brief was all about creating a situation in 2D creating it in 3D and then turning the image back into 2D by taking a photograph of it.
The session started with us having to think of 4 things. A place, a colour, an object and a person.
W were asked to think of these four things and to write them down o apiece of paper. These pieces of paper where then jumbled up and we had to select one randomly.
It was then the situation that we had chosen that we were to draw and create in 2D. Once we had done this the drawing were then jumbled up further and we selected one. The situation we selected was to be then turned into 3D by creating an then back to 2D by photographing it.

Image Module - Scale Image Format

When making the eye chart I took into consideration that dragons could be very complex. This meant that It may be fairly hard for the viewer to distinguish the design from a distance.
I decided because of this that I would not use any colour and hopefully this would compensate for the complexity of the designs.
I used mainly Oriental style dragons to create the chart as I thought that they had a distinctive and very recognisable pattern.

This brief was a fairly difficult one because in order for it to be effective it has to be clear from 20 feet. This meant that when you working on it up close it looked effective but you couldn't really tell if it was going to work until the design had been printed out.





This brief was titled Scale/Image/Format. the brief asked us to create a piece of work based around an eyechart and we were then given an object that we had to base the chart around.
The word that was given to me was dragon.

The task was to produce an effective piece of design that was visible from 20 feet. The chart would have to be printed on an A2 scale for the viewer to be able to see the designs.

Image Module - Type as Image

This image was based around the word immune. When creating this image I thought about the recent talk of how antibiotics were having less effect on the fighting infections and that viruses were becoming immune to the effects of them.
The word immune in this image is created out many individual tablets.



This was my most effective image. The word chosen was jesus and the idea was to depict jesus to people through a symbol that they could best relate him to. The cross on which he died seemed to me to be the obvious choice.



The section of the text I chose for this image was the word radiation. There was something really powerful about and atomic blast that I wanted to communicate to people and the idea i had was to create the text within and out of the mushroom cloud.



This brief required us to read a section of text and then choose three separate sentences or words that could be used to create three images using the the type to create the image.

This brief was fairly difficult for me because I found it hard to identify how to make type as image. Out if the three images I produced I felt that the 'Jesus' image best answered the breif and that the 'radiation' image was the one the one the fit the brief the least.

The Brief and Its Re-write

For this brief we have been asked to collaborate with a partner to complete a competition brief from the YCN.

Having had a scan at the available briefs, I realised that there was one in particular that excited me more than any other. The SEGA brief was something that interested me because it was quite different from the other briefs. The briefs that I have been used to over the past one and a half years have asked you to either promote, persuade, educate or inform.

However the SEGA briefs main focus was to celebrate. Explained in more detail, we were asked to create a body of work that celebrated the 20th anniversary of Sonic the Hedgehog.

The idea of constructing a brief around celebration attracted me because there was an opportunity to create something really special for the company.

Image Module - Editorial Image

This page contained two articles that we need to produce images for. The first of which was for an article  about the best ways to save money in country gripped by a recession. I thought that this image needed to be hard hitting and fairly obvious. The image I came up with was a pound sign that had grown so large it was creating cracks, symbolising the debt and frustration of a nation under pressure.

The second image was for a less serious article about relationships. The symbols for masculinity and felinity instantly came to mind as they were something everyone could relate to and also they are striking in appearance.



The topic of this article was health and how infections whither as a person gets older. When it came to producing an image for this article I thought that the most effective image would be something that everyone reading it could relate to. I decided to draw bacteria as if it were being viewed under a microscope and a paracetamol tablet intervening to destroy the infection.



The main theme in this article was new years resolutions so I thought the best way to communicate this with people was to create a situation that they could relate new years eve to.
I chose to draw balloons and confetti to symbolise the celebrations that nearly everyone in the whole world would have been a part of.

For this brief we were asked to produce a series of images for various newspaper articles. I found this brief particular challenging because it made me feel like I should stick to a particular illustrative style that one looked good and two communicated the message of the article across to the reader.
