Another visual language class where we were communicating message visually.
Here we had to have a series of 10 images hat communicated a colour. I don't think i answered the brief well at all but i do like my idea which was a world with chickens running it. Rather then Mcchicken burgers at Mcdonalds it would be Mchuman burgers, my series of 10 show the manufacture of these burgers.
For this brief we had to design three posters which simply communicated a message on a theme of our choice, my theme was obesity.
Si Scott influenced my typeface in the way that it is playful and visually interesting.
We had to develop a typeface based on a person in the class. We interviewed one another and gathered 10 words which describe one another, the words that i worked on were theatrical, confident, amusing, reliable. i then produced this typeface which i hope meets those words.
In visual language we had to play with line shape and letterform to communicate simple words. We didnt have much time to do this but it was a good exercise making us think and keep things simple.
In the second print workshop we began screen printing which is a long process however has a satisfying outcome creating colours and textures simple printing off a computer cant create.
Recently had a print workshop experimenting with colour and layers and being introduced to the process of print.

Another visual metaphor, this business man is literally handcuffed to his phone indicating he's bound to his work.
This advertisement uses visual metaphor to demonstrate the dangers of having unprotected sex. The scorpion is representing a woman with aids, u wouldn't have sex with a scorpion and its relating that to a woman with aids.
