#creative realisation

[saroj123]

For this module I will have to think of something that's different and new that i can work on since its all about creativity i will have to do most of the work that i have never done which is challenging but fun at the same time since i will get to learn new things.

I will be using different website, magazines, Books and other stuff that will help me think of something creative to work on.

One of the main things I will be looking forward to doing for this module is using the techniques i learned from my previous module and applying it on the work i will be doing.

Front Cover

I’ve finally completed the final design of the from cover for my booklet. It uses:

A green gradient

Nature silhouettes with varied opacities

A black silhouette

A linear gradient shadow for each silhouette

Primary Research 4

To conclude my primary research I decided to follow the advice that was given to me, to observe myself.

I found it difficult to do because I I could only go by what I think of myself and what others think of me and how I’ve been described in the past.

I deemed it useless to ask my family as they are automatically bias and kept giving me the positive side of my personality and not a balanced opinion/reflection of my personality.

Primary Research 3

UPDATE:

So before I said “I had to think about who people were which isn’t something I normally do.”

It was hard but not as hard as I thought. Until, my last person that I had to observe.

She comes across as being quite different to the other girls that I observed. The others came across as being introverts.

However after observation, it came across that she fakes being an extrovert, in a way it could be considered as a protective mechanism. As if without this facade, she would simply fall apart.

I know  that finding an element of nature to fit this person’s personality will be quite hard.

Possibly a pomegranate may be ideal as without the outside, all the arils would be all over the place. With the skin it is all held together

Raw Portraits

So most of the portraits for my project are done I just need to do 3 more. I changed my mind when photographing the models. This is because I felt that the lighting looked better with the images being taken from an angle.

I like the lighting in the image above. It uses natural daylight and reflectors. I liked the simplicity of the set up because I was able to get some really nice work done.

Mimi’s Nature

I never really understood how much work goes into making a photo look beautiful. 

When taking this photo the arrangement and lighting of the very smallest details is crucial. This is something that I learnt with this dandelion.

This is the set up I ended up using to capture this image . I had to make a makeshift lighting and background set up for this image to work.

I printed out the images and decided that I works best on semi gloss satin paper.

Another Group Tutorial

I had another group tutorial with to discuss where I’m at with my project and how I plan on presenting my work for the exhibition.

We discussed the problem which I had of trying to book a space for the portraits to be shot. We managed to work around the the problem by creating a usable space.

We talked about how i was planing on binding the whole thing together and what type of paper I would be printing on. I will need to go to the digital print room over at Parkside to resolve this issue.

A suggestion was made that I included myself on to the last page of my project. I’ve experimented with this suggestion and have found that it throws the layout off. To correct this I will need to include another person otherwise the middle pages will need to be stuck together.

Another solution would be to print the pages on single pages and then bind them together in a similar style as the Japanese stab bind technique.
