4.2

Today in class we got into pairs and discussed our work a little. I didn't find this overall very helpful as I had not developed and extended on my work as much as I would have liked to. We also learnt about fonts and text a little and then did studio work. During this time I went to the library to find some inspirations. This helped a lot as I went in and found pieces of design I really liked whether it be the way it was rendered or the design style or the ideas behind it. I found some and put them into my workbook so that I could go back and look on them, I also made some notes about things I could extend on. After seeing all the artists models together before I put them into my book I noticed a pattern among them all which was that I seemed to like collecting hand drawn works and illustrations. At the time being this is just an observation. With social media being my focus this could be taken either way if I wanted to render in like this, we shall see where it goes or if that happens or not. I also liked the idea of somehow incorporating 3D into my work if I wanted to to make it more interactive. Obviously here you can see i'm going off in some tangents from my original ideas but these are just things i'm looking into. (i wish I had went out and found some artist models earlier!)

After getting some artist models it inspired me working with text for a little so I stepped back from my four concepts that I was meant to be developing and took another approach for a little which I enjoyed. I looked at sustainability and reducing (reduce, reuse, recycle) waste by using social media online. This was not one of my final social media focuses however it is a strong idea and major point to be added. I also looked at the still idea of sharing online and sharing ideas online, which was one of my original focus points around social media.
I made four main concepts with these and then started playing with compositions a little. These have nothing to do with my original four visual concepts however I think they are good strong new ideas. I have basically now returned to idea generation, I seem to be working a little less canonically then planned but i'm more happy with where my work is going right now then where I was before. I will however, still continue to develop my 2 strongest works from critique as I want to resolve them and see where that goes as they could also end up as my one A3 that I develop in the end into my final.
