Anthropocene in Graphic Design

[k00318884]

Summery

My thoughts:

Overall I think I really could have done better, there's a lot of areas where I accidentally overlooked, where I wish I had the time for it, but with what I got done its not too bad.

Anthropocene to me through this project, was anything a human can do or does can effect the world, like the butterfly effect.

And I wanted to show how even when your thought behind an action can still make any sort of reaction, by through a heart where we need to be mindfull and watch our heart to not just follow our hearts but to keep it in check to be able to think and be logical.

So I had it that doesn't matter what type of person so you are, a student, average person, serial murderer, a kid, they can all still very much effect the planet in some way shape or form.

Experimenting around

I've chosen this for the final design, but would like explore around a bit

Here

I feeling more leaned towards the blues, as it really makes it pop. However the more saturated blue makes it hard to read as it feels like my eyes are being pulled in multiple directions with each design. So I might go with lighter blue, also makes the the image more calming to read in my opinion.

(Forgot to post this section)

In here we did colour theory, on how colours can have an massive effect in Graphics, on how certain colours can convey certain emotions or feelings. That and can help the shapes or fonts pop or, etc

Today we took our final thumbnails and turn them digital for its finale.

Final pieces sort of.

Thoughts: first one is a safe choice and over all good in my opinion, however I also feeling drawn to the second, however I feel its not really complete and can have much more potential, the third was my attempt to go very simple, which I think I did, but I dislike it because of the simplicity.

Today I did little more final thumbnails

I really like the left.

In my opinion, it's between these two for me.

Font Typography Research:

I'm not sure who's the typography artist but it looks interesting. Looking both professional and childish gothic.

[k00318884]

Font Typography Research:

The creator being, Ray Larabie

I like how it gives sorta modern gothic or victorian font vibes in my opinion .

[k00318884]

Font Typography Research:

Creator is Dennis Ludlow.

Artist Research: Art Chantry

Chantry’s reputation is built on his belief (and practice) that commercial art is American folk art. Chantry advocates a low-tech approach to design that is informed by the history of the field. Chantry builds his record, poster, and magazine designs by hand

Some examples of their work.

I love the use of college, and also its chaotic ness.

Artist Research: David Carson

David Carson is a person who has contributed to the field of graphic design throughout his career. Self-taught, resolutely grid-free, and not afraid to speak his mind, Carson’s work made designers realise that editorial layouts didn’t have to stick to the rules around image placement, consistent typography, or doggedly flowing copy issue after issue.

Examples of gheyre work

I like how they're place everything and make it look chaotic.

Artist Research: Bryan Ray Turcotte

Bryan’s extensive collection of punk memorabilia, art, flyers, buttons, t-shirts and photography has been exhibited worldwide. He has produced events and curated installations for companies such as Converse, Levi’s, Bounty Hunter, Hysteric Glamour, Dept, Ray-Ban, beyond the streets and vans.

Soke example of they're work.

I like they're use of Black and White.

Today we did as a class colour accioation with counties.

I picked from the list Italy, Russia, Thailand, and Figi

When it was finished and we all look at others, I saw someone also did Russia, I was amazed by how nearly identical it was to mine. I was amazed how countries can affect the public to represent colours in a way.

Today we did moodboards for our project, in the form of collage.

Here's my four ideas on how to arrange it.

I went with the top right, and here's the final complete piece.

[k00318884]

Here's some thumbnails I did to get closer to the endgoal look ish.

Everyone in the group critic says go with the picture on the right, cause the left looks confusing, due to the characters merged into one.

[k00318884]

Here's me trying to draw a bigger heart to better understand it, but accidentally making it realistic lookin sorta. I was told to just add this in

[k00318884]

And here's an actual mindmap of those mini thumbnails

In our group critic, everyone picked either the top left and bottom right.

Here's some mini thumbnails of the words i like for those 2nd and 3rd mindmap
