Week 1.2

Week 1.2

 Today we were a able to vote on the first 10 best posters and decide which we thought should stay and which should go. I thought some of those designs we brilliant and made me think about how I could most effectively convey my message in a minimalistic manner.

 In class we brainstormed different types of inequalities, this made me think harder about which type of inequality I was the most passionate about, having never really felt any type of discrimination. I think I am leaning towards gender inequalities.

 In class we were also given a words and in the space of 15 minutes were were challenged with sketching 10 poster concepts based on that word.

When attempting to design posters for the word "match" I brainstormed the many different meanings and associations with the word, trying to think broadly before sketching.

 Personally I felt this was the most effective way to come up with these concepts.

 Again we were tasked with refining one of these sketches into a proper design and submit this poster by 10pm that night.

I also designed these two poster in different mediums (photographic and illustrative) in order to emphasise my concept and attract a more diverse audience.   In the photographic poster, I opted for a very minimalistic approach, in order to achieve a clean cut design style. I placed the text at the top in the available negative space.

Week 5.2

Week 5.2 This week consisted of a lot of baking in order to ensure I could back a cake so that it looked just right. The below photos are me during the process of icing the cake.
