This is a micro lens picture of a leaf, I love the way the camera picked up the tiny grooves of the leaf. Unfortunately the surrounding area of the picture is blurry due to the cheap lens

Today I wanted to focus on zooming into things with the macro lens on my phone. The aim was to take pictures of things to the point where they were unidentifiable as the original objects. This is a picture of a tea towel, it’s kinda disgusting but it’s also interesting how the camera picked up all the fibres and textures that we wouldn’t normally see with the naked eye

Spotted this today and it immediately reminded me of a rebellion, mainly because of the colour red and the vandalism

I wanted to include shadow in my pictures as I felt it added depth. This was taken this morning when I was reading my book, I felt the sunlight added a sense of warmth to the picture

I saw these roof slates lying in the back garden and thought the side of them also created an endless pattern that I was intrigued by

For today’s pictures I wanted to focus on pattern, I took this on my way home from cork at the bus stop. I liked the way the rain drops seemed to create an endless pattern

Spotted some growth coming up beneath the rocks and thought it was unusual and pretty

My face during quarantine

I felt that one of the lights outside resembled an eye so I cloned it in pics art to make another one and made a face out of it, even my house reflects my current mood

These bottles belonged to my grandfather when he used to run the family pharmacy, he also used to refer to them as “potion bottles” because it’s what he used to store his ingredients for making cough bottles in the dispensary. I thought that the light made them look extra magical when they were casting the blue shadows 💫🌙

For my second alphabet I used ketchup, I felt it adds character to the letters with how messy and splotchy they are.

This project has shown me that possibilities are endless with creating typefaces .

DISCLAIMER : NO BREAD WAS WASTED DURING THIS PROJECT ( please don’t hate me )

For my first alphabet I decided to use bread, originally I had just cut out the bread with a knife but thought that it might look more defined if I toasted it.

Although I didn’t plan it, I also liked the different colours the toaster gave my alphabet shapes I feel like it makes the letter more interesting paired up with the texture .

I made a few concert posters inspired by punk posters for the singer MARINA (fka Marina and the Diamonds). I did one for each of her album tours because it gave me the opportunity to play with different aesthetics as each one of her albums have a very distinct sound and the album eras are also very different visually when it comes to the album/single covers, tours, music videos and photo shoots.

Here is a link to my Pinterest board which has all the posters that inspired me.

My posters are definitely quite different than the ones that inspired me, but that was my whole point. To take inspiration but at the same time infuse the aesthetic of MARINA.

FINAL MOODBOARD

In my moodboard, I wanted it to be chaotic to resemble the chaotic dystopian world of Hunger City. I also felt the main colour in this moodboard should be red as the colour seemed prominent to me when I was listening to the album

RESEARCH 4 MOODBOARD

I found these typography images on pinterest and I thought they related quite well to the dystopian end of the world vibe in Diamond Dogs.

I think they give a good description of the events that occurred in Hunger City with watchful eyes constantly everywhere, “corpses lay rotting” and “mannequins with kill appeal”
