Harvard referencing

This seminar was a brief overview of Harvard referencing. Personally I still don't understand! Been set 2 essays already so I guess I better get on Google and in the library to try and understand!

Brief 3

The format for this project is a t-shirt, use the digital template provided to produce your final design.

You are required to print out your final design on the template provided on a sheet of A3 paper presented professionally. You are also required to hand in all supporting research and development work.

You are required to produce your review “text” in the format of one word or a short statement (positive or negative) and then illustrate this word or statement. The image and text are to be included in a single design in any size or colour on the front of the t-shirt.

John Ross

Guest lecturer John Ross showed us some of his work in print making mixed with comic writing.

He told us that we should use strengths apart from art in our work, so if we have a hobby or passion to use it.

Think the opposite. May help idea generation.

Technique should be developed to be able to make idea work.

Ralph Steadman is an illustrator that lets loose. His work is very free and interesting including really strange things that were going through his head at the time.

Lesson learnt - do not hold back!!

Stephen Raw

Guest lecturer Stephen Raw informed us today that work can help people, not just look good. I found his work fascinating how it all generally looks the same using his own signature type face yet by using different colours, phrases and materials can make them completely different.

Type - can be absent to receive information
Oral - have to be present.

Consider all areas including;

• Calligraphy
• Rubbings
• Put all work in if they would like it or not
• There is no right or wrong just appropriate
• Size and materials

Typography - Bad

There are lots of kinds of bad typography;

• Unreadable text
• Too busy or messy
• Spelling errors
• Bad spacing

Here is an example of how bad spacing can effect the text drastically. This sign is meant to say 'Final Registration' but as the letters are too close together it ends up changing the word 'Final' completely.

Typography - Good

Yulia Brodskaya - 
 

I think the work of Yulia is classed as good because it is unique, intriguing and different using quilling to enable the text to be bold and legible.

Craig Ward - 

I enjoy Craig Ward's work as it is very literal. The words and the design fit together well. His work is recognisable and simplistic.

Final Images - project 1

These circles are to show the colours and moods of the story, by using the events. It begins by having an innocent snow white with pale skin, black hair and blue eyes. Then moves to the step mother becoming angry so flames. Then the woods where snow white is sent to her death, I would have preferred this circle darker to have more of a deathly feel. The heart which was meant to be hers but instead was a deers placed in the center of the queens jealous green eye. Then the poison red apple for danger used to trick snow white. Finally the pale, happy ending where she marries the prince and lives in the castle.

Images should be printed on a large scale and re-arranged to preference later on.
