Unit 04 Communication Through Art and Design

these are some illustrator tutorials we completed in class

the assignment was to make words expressive, showing what they mean through distorting and changing the word slightly, usually invoking ideas and meanings behind he word to help form a connection with the viewer.

in this task i had to explore typographic variations using a haiku poem, changing typeface, size, layout and style all to creating different effects and really show the meaning of the poem. for example, i used the word "void" in a separate area to show loneliness but also the typeface i chose is quite pretty to me, the fact of nothingness is a beautiful concept to me as we as humans cannot imagine nothingness.  

Recipe design 

in this task we had to create a recipe design that would show the properties of making a meal rather then the traditional text layout of a cookery book.

i first looked at the online medium of showing a though or feeling through an image, otherwise known as the "meme"

i wondered if i could create a recipe design that would be understandable to this generation and the meme was the perfect format, it showed humour but still made it possible to follow
this was the outcome.

                                                         Posters

for this task i have had to create 2 film, music or food festival posters for in or around bristol

first i had to research many different posters relating to the specific subject matter, adding annotations to help me and others understand the visual process leading up to the initial and final designs 

i then had to make a few mood boards to broaden my research findings to help come up with original design, one for the visual, one for the typography and one for inspiring design

for the inspiring design portion i chose to gather images from the area that i live in to get an idea of what is eye capturing to the local populous.

these are a few quick typeface designs i came up with, nowhere near finished but just to get an idea of what i want
