Graphic Design Elective

25 January 2021 

I’ve finally got my wacom and decided to make an illustration of the word “movement” on photoshop for my Graphic Design elective.

Inspiration from home.

18 January 2021

I’ve decided to take Sharons advice and looked around my room to see if I find any inspiration and realised that I have so many things around my room which relate to patterns and movement of the Sea. 

I’ve noticed that my wallpaper had beautiful colours which reminded me of the sea and has a nice line which replicates the movement of the sea. 

I also have this photo collage in my room which I’ve made 2 years ago that has a bunch of photos of the sea and colour pallets that go nicely together.

Graphic Design Elective - ‘Abstract’ The art of Design.

10 February 2021 

Sharon posted this documentary for us to watch , and I’ve decided to check it out. I have finished it and loved it. 

The first episode follows illustrator Christoph Niemann as he navigates the difficult task of creating a virtual reality animation for The New Yorker cover. Niemann’s animations are show more throughout the episode, creating a playful backdrop while he talks about his own anxieties and neuroses surrounding art. 

Overall, while the series has its highs and lows, it is most definitely one to watch. The Art of Design really helped me understand the world of design more and provided interesting insights and lessons for both artists and non-artists, showing what it means to design and the power that design holds in our everyday lives.

Graphic Design Elective - Task #2 Examples of movement in Typography

10 February 2021

1) Brian Biles: I love this illustration because of how Brian Biles almost created an illusion which really looks like the motion of waves. 

2) Neil Stevens: I love this because it’s 3D typography! , I found this specific work from Neil Stevens really cool because the word “yolo” meaning “You Only Live Once” works so well with the water slide idea since some people are afraid of going on them. I found this really nicely worked together. 

3) Mishka Watin: I liked this illustration because of the quote forming into a water drop really worked well together, I definitely want to try remake this soon.
