Adobe Illustrator CC (Morpholo Tile Task)

-

As an introduction to the Adobe Illustrator CC, this process and production session focused upon basic pen tool skills in relation to drawing/rendering and the manipulation of typographic letter forms.  We started off the session by learning information about Morpholo tiles and the design and context that surround them. We then learnt how to generate a random pattern making system - the idea is that we create 6 tiles that would work as a game that can be placed together and fit to make one similar to that of a jigsaw and a game of dominos.  Then, researching into a specific type using font book and online resources, we were encouraged to work as abstract as possible when using elements from a specific type. I chose to look at an Arabic Style of font as at the minute I am very fascinated with the aesthetic and look of an Arabian Style. I love the smooth lines and form and the way in which they link and bond in style...

Essay Writing

Today we did some more work on essay writing and decoding an essay to pick out the good and bad points of it. I have finally decided on a theme; to discuss how a skate subculture can effect and influence Graphic Design. I have researched thoroughly into skate subculture and have decided to talk mostly about the Supreme brand, it's history to Barbara Kruger and its now influences of culture around the world - for example, how Supreme has now hired a contemporary graphic designer who juxtaposes its slick fashion editorial with edgy compositions or how young and inspiring designers are taking it upon themselves to decorate supreme street posters and shop front displays.  Todays task was to bring in an image and a short piece of writing for editing. As peers, we edited the writing and gave tips and feedback on it. I thought it was very helpful altogether and has inspired me to write more for my essay on skate subculture....

AMY: Motion Graphics Book Advertisement

In todays Process and Production workshop I put all my skills so far together to create a ten second motion graphics book advertisement on After Effects. The book I chose to advertise was Amy:My Daughter, Written by Mitch Winehouse about the short life of Amy Winehouse.  The first time I used After Effects I found it difficult and tricky so this time I was determined to try out lots of different methods and techniques. I started by picking a theme; I wanted a dark and gloomy atmosphere to hang around in the video with similar imagery to represent the dulcet tone within Amy's life. I wanted this grey theme to run throughout the video.  I started off by creating Amy Winehouse inspired illustrations on Illustrator.  I love the way in which these images really capture the spirit of Amy, I wanted to use iconic imagery from all the way through her life which would then act like a timeline for the narr...
