Workshop 5
Graphic Design & Prep Work

I was very excited to start a design project as this is the area I come from. I began by mind mapping potential ideas that came to mind. I then gathered examples of brands to analyse the text, use of colours, and function.  

I believe that we need to take greater measures in protecting our environment and be mindful about what we are emitting into the world. With this in mind I decided to create a logo for a cruelty free, eco friendly cosmetic brand. I began by looking at nature in all its forms, as this is where I believe we should be sourcing our materials instead of chemicals which may be harmful to us and our environment.    


As I drew my focus went to the shape of a leaf. I wanted the imagery to be peaceful and fresh. For the colour I wanted to choose colours that occur naturally in nature, and of course green was the first one that came to mind. To compliment this I chose the colour red. For the text I began with ‘Tasty Face’, but as my logo was a leaf I felt this did not align. Finally I ended on ‘Fresh Face’, this captures the essences of my brand and fits in with the imagery creating a unified logo design. In a classroom setting this would be a fantastic project for the pupils as it will draw on their intrinsic motivation. Allowing them to select an area of interest to themselves and create a logo that is meaningfully to them.

3D Mixed Media Sculpture & Preparatory Work 28.02.19

28/02/19 Workshop 6 3D Mixed Media Sculpture  & Preparatory Work At the start of the 3D mixed media sculpture I struggled with the entail concept when a bag of miscellaneous objects where placed in front of me to sketch. I began exploring a few of the object such as a computer hard drive, a wooden shoe, a trumpet and various piece of metal.   As I was struggling to conceptualise my design I turned to card and start to experiment with shape. In my under graduate model making was required with every design, thus card and cardboard are very familiar materials to me. I began by exploring various shapes and how they might interact with each other.  As I was trying to make my objects support themselves, I came up with the idea of a gravity defying piece. If the observer sees the structure I wanted them to question how is it being supported. I wanted the piece to be comprised of many different materials and geometric shapes to emphasis the structure and allow...
