Johns second and 3rd drawing task

 This were Johns 2nd and 3rd process and production lesson. I've really enjoyed drawing typography this term. Johns second lesson i started doing a final draft of my work and carried it on in the 3rd lesson as i was really happy with the work and enjoying it.

Reframing Work shop

In this seminar we were given a task. The graphic designers were asked to transform and word into a different word, preferable from one work too the total opposite. I honestly found this task difficult, there was so many things too choose from and so many techniques I could use to carry out this task. I began a piece of work transforming live into evil. I began to rearrange the letters to see if I could create other words that could possibly relate to live and evil.. I came up with vile. I think I was over complicating a small task. I then began to illustrate the text making the evil look like hell vile look nutural like earth and live look like heaven to display 3 changes in transitions.

Style

What is the Meaning of style? manner of way. the way something is done.
 "style isn't just putting on clothes, its how you present yourself to the world as your own interpretation of yourself"

Marcel Breuer is an architect and furniture designer and created the Cesca Chair. The Cesca chair took a whole new design route. Instead of the usual 4 legged plain plastic chair, this chair had 2 legs and a nice fabric design on the actual seat and back. Marcel Breuer took a whole new approach to this design or a chair. He made it cool, jazzy and most of all he made people want it. But why was people wanting this char rattan than the 4 legged one? Because it was different, innovative and stylish.

Graphic Responses to sound

During this lecture I discovered many ways in which to respond to a sound. It could be through animation, objects, harmonics and many more. Leon Thermin invented his own instrument, the therein, in which he played using oscillation. the should he created was quite erie and scary. I really enjoyed watching this video as i was impressed with the technology and idea of his work especially for its time (1930).  Although i really enjoyed this piece I very with doubt I would be able to recreate and adapt this in a style of my own although I would like to.

Gentle Ease

This Lecture was focused on after affects. There was a lot of video footage of artist work in this lecture, I particularly liked Johnny Kelly's work Forest: Just One Day as I found my self anticipating what was going to happen next. The piece seemed really unusual, at first I thought I was because of the music but realised how random the animations were and unusual the events were that was taking place in this animation. supprisingly just one day is a stop motion animation edited together using after affects. Such a simple technique but yet so time consuming, in my visualising sound project i attempted a stop motion animation, it was very rushed compared to the skill and accuracy of this piece.

Problem Solving

Exploring ways to interpret facts and observations through Information Graphics: The designer is an observer, problem solver and illustrator of information... simplifying complex data to convey understanding through memorable design and essential skill for visual communicators.

in this seminar lesson we was show a variety of information graphics and ask to create our own.

Our task was to create our own simple info graphic. I used my Mum, Dad, Brothers, Sisters, Nephew's, niece's, grate nephew and grate niece in my info graphic. I started in age order colour coordinating each person. I then adjusted the bar for how long I have known them for.

how do we think about gender difference

The RAW/WAr project is an idea that we can change the was in which history is constructed by using generations and technology to create there own history. it uses i forum in which people can come together and share stories and experiences and contribute to the history or women's art.

"The fault lies not in out stars, our hormones, our menstrual cycles, or our empty internal spaces, but in our institutions and our education - education understood to include everything that happens to us from the moment we enter this world of meaningful symbols, signs and signals. - Linda Nochlin ' why have there been no great women artists? (1971)

Linda Nochlin has highlighted a valid point, why hasn't there been any great women artist in history. maybe this was because of the position of women through out history before women rights. I found this lecture quite irrelevant although was quite interesting learning about parts of history in which women had highlighted this problem.
