Today was a graphics worksop. One of the lectures from Graphic Design BA came in to talk to us about how we can explore super graphics. It was very different but I think it really helped with me helping with my idea. It was quite fun. We were able to work in groups and create a super graphic out the window. I was in a team of 4 people, the people that I would normally work with.
The symbols that we were using were; arrows, left hands, left, go words and they were in different sizes, fonts and tones. I thought that because we were limited to what we could use, we were able to think simply to what we can achieve from a high
These are the photographs that I took of the work. I was the person that was sent outside to see how efficiently the work can be seen from the window. We worked extremely well as a group, and we were able to communicate through phoning each other to say what needs to be improved from the inside. I did enjoy doing this.
These are the two designs that we had. Our group preferred the designs with the ‘GO’ in the background.
I had to zoom in on the photograph otherwise the photograph would not be able to see what the window is saying. However, when walking past you can clearly see the window. This was a different task, and it was a bit of an mind opener because you are able to see things completely different.
It did help me with my idea. I was going to put things into the window, however when I tried it, you could not see what I was trying to say. It was extremely difficult and I realised it wold not work the way that this project worked.
All the photograph looks like is a piece of paper up against the window. I dont think the font was thick enough for this.
