Imminent Self: First Ideas

-
Here are the first ideas surrounding the Idea of Imminent Self and the three required briefing subjects; Autopoiesis, Sociomaterial, and Network Ego. I researched into each one thoroughly and provided visual and creative examples of how my work could evolve through the creative process.

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...

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 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...

In this workshop we learned  about 3D space - exploring depth and the z-axis in after effects.  C himamanda Ngozi Adichie's Speech used in Beyonce's World tour Prior to the workshop we were asked to prepare a text, quote, or song lyric to work with which we would then move, rotate and manipulate with Z-Space using After Effects. I chose to use C himamanda Ngozi Adichie's motivational speech about feminism - it has been a hit globally, with thousands of hits on Youtube and even an appearance on Beyonce's 2013 Album. The speech talks about women rights and the role of women in todays society so I believe it is a strong and powerful message to use within my work.  I inputted each word by word and decided to move past the recommended 10 second video so that the audience can really get a full grasp of the quote and the full nature of my intention which was to manipulate the words to what...
