IDEAS LESSON

TYPOGRAPHY

I really enjoyed this session it opened my eyes to different ways of experimenting with type, on the worksheet the decompose box most enlightened me to how far you can put type, until it unreadable.

Above is a 4 meter by 1.5 meter 24.2mm piece of laminated sandblasted glass, for an architectural client used as a walk on floor panel.

These are a pair of glass doors to fit onto a clients changing room, and he requested a modern take on the old Pilkington style of etched glass 'Barocade'.

Elephant & Castle, quick blog excersice

TATE BRITAIN: FIONA BANNER

Banner has placed fighter planes in the space, one a Harrier suspended with a tattooed textured surface, and a Jaguar upside down, with a polished surface (mirror like). The jaguar linked to our recent V.C.T lecture, where we touched upon the point; How a person can connect to the art that they are viewing especially in the absence or presents of words. Banner presented a short film on entrance to the exhibition where she explained the inpiration of the peices formed from some of her written transcription 'Wordscapes'. As the Jaguar was polished and showed the viewers reflection it was as though it was communicating with the viewer and exposing the audiences reactions, and provocted words for the peice without there being any words actually on the peice.

The train from Wolverhampton (home) to London and vis versa can get very monotonous, so after the layout lesson with Jo Spencer i decided to find some tutorials on InDesign, and this is quite a good one on magazine cover design from Layers Magazine! (very easy to follow)

Still keeping with my theme of words and images working together; i have found this promotional poster with Casey Affleck from the film 'I'm Still Here'. I love how the text is broken to showcase the profile because this opens the film to interpretation and allows the veiwer to understand the message of the poster while still seeing the main Protagonist.

When I look at this in relation to the Visual Culture and Theory excersise, it makes me think about the correlation between words and images and its definitely a strong one! Without the words on this picture it still would be a very striking image. however with the words highlighted in a primary colour which is quite aggressive, it is more specific and really engages with the viewer, provocing statements and questions.

Visual Culture and Theory; using words and images to communicate to the veiwer and inspired by Barabar Kruger. Here there are random postcards together witch have been carfully spaced with the particular words, 'Experience Required...make mistakes to grow without fear'.
