The First of my electives was Graphics and starting the year i was pretty adamant that i was going to be a painter but as faith would have it, i went and fell in love with design all over again. i think the atmosphere and the creative cogs getting a chance to run riot just sparked something in me that i was missing in the first semester. we were given a word and asked to approach the design of the word both typographically and illustrativly. Here are my resposnses to the brief.
This was focusing around the idea of the death of the writter letter.
This image was an attempt to make the letter more modern and a little more appealing.
This is my illustration to show how technology has stamped out the written letter.
This was my favourite piece and probably the most effective, it's an eye with an origional letter from President Licoln to a mother whos son was killed in WWI, i added the tear to give the sense that the letter was crying ink as supposed to a tear, in hindsight a black tear would've worked better.
Painting was my next elective and if i'm being completely honest it was two weeks which i absolutely couldn't wait for, but once in the door i can't recall ten minutes of it that i actually enjoyed, i plugged away at it and didn't produce anything close to my best work but it's hard to get passionate about staring at an installation for two weeks.
Print then was my final elective which i really enjoyed, and if i didn't love the graphics elective so much i would have had a hard choice to make, i studied past masters concept drawings of people and their study of the human figure, so with that in mind i decided i would do a study of different parts of my own body.
