Forgot About This!

Ok.. Something I should have done before the end of 2011 is write about how I thought the end of the year has gone and about my last two projects so here it goes...


Both the General House Style and the Letterbox projects were handed in on time and from the feedback that i have received it seems to have gone down pretty well. From what I gather I had presented two well presented informed pieces. I personally thought that the effort I had put in was equal to the grade that I had received. My time management could have been improved which meant that i could have put more time into my final pieces.

During the first term I feel as though I have stepped up to the level that is required from me. I have kept up with the amount of work that was given to me and I feel as though I'm getting more to grips with my chosen subject. Hopefully 2012 will be as prosperous as 2011. I aim to pass this first year and improve my drawing skills. 

General House Style Project... Plus Other Stuff

After my initial design it was pointed out to me that the line counts as an illustration and from this would not satisfy the brief. However after some editing i have now not only made a stylish document but also complied with the original working brief.

Other notable pieces of work this week include my Solving Problems Through Design module. After weeks of looking into replacing plastics with paper to make the packaging more green friendly, I have made a huge breakthrough.

One of the people at my place of work pointed me towards a television show in which a women makes things from palm leaves. This can be directly applied to my project. If all Ipod packaging was me from this instead of recycling it the packaging can go into the green bin to make compost :)

It's the last week of term next week which mean its deadline day from this terms work....I should get it all done though. One thing I have improved upon is my organisational skills.

House Style Project

After weeks of typing out the general house style guide I have finally came up with my first "draft" of what will be the final document. It is currently now up on Facebook for feedback...

Letterbox Project

Progress with the letterbox project has been made this week. After having made some designs of what I would like my box to look like I finally decided on a design. From this I have started making my box out of MDF. Here are some images of the letterbox so far...

Final Project Idea?

After having a rather mellow first two weeks of this project I have finally stumbled on the news article that could form the basis of my letter box project. Voyeurism...

Illustration Class

Over the past few weeks I have had my Developing Illustration Concepts class. This class is headed by Francis Lowe. My drawing skills are not my strong point but I like to think over the past few weeks that they have improved. Here is an example of the improvement. Not too bad?

Opportunity...

 

 

University hasn't been the only thing that has grasped my attention over the past few months. Having played guitar for a few years I decided it was time to form my own band. I really have enjoyed playing in this band and having finally decided on the name (Versity 92) I thought it was time to start a Facebook page. It's at this point an opportunity arose. The band needed some a new logo to feature on our new page so i got out the laptop and started designing various styles of logos. Here are some examples.
