GDES1010 Design:Skills And Theory

Tuesday 21st April 2015 Session Review Following on from the previous Pukka pie session, I continued to sketch different typography fonts and continue my secondary research on Pukka Pies the company. During the time I browsed through the website I came across their news page detailing all of the companies recent activity and I noticed that they had appeared to sponsor quite a few local sports teams from Leicestershire or sports events such s the 2009 World Snooker Championship. Additionally, they also awarded prizes to the best chip shops around the United Kingdom likely for their level of service and possibly whether they are able to sell a large quantity of pukka pies since most chip shops feature them inside. Also, Pukka Pies would be sponsoring the television show Friends on Comedy Central and because of this new sponsorship they produced a series of short advertisements of four friends eating various pukka pies; furthermore, after reading of this newfound information it woul...

Tuesday 21st April 2015 Session Review Previously last week Friday I had lost my USB stick containing almost all of my university, college and personal projects; however, thankfully my university files were scattered around and saved on multiple MAC computers in the Digital Arts Centre. So my first action before purchasing my new USB stick was to compress all of my animation folders and store them in my email account which was a wise course of action. Also my personal work was saved on my home desktop and as for the college work that is missing which is my 3d models and animations I have contacted a friend who is still attending south Birmingham college and will transfer my l still left on my college computer to my email. Overall at this point despite it being a slap in the face I am used to this cycle of losing my past work which it seems once I finish once set of education the work is submitted but the majority of work I possess is discarded laving me only with wok that stra...

Monday 13th April 2015 Session Review I have revisited my Gorillaz CD cover and I making small edits such as applying shading to their cloths to add a layer of depth and I want darker colours to appropriately interrupt the gritty, grunge theme I am attempting to portray. Furthermore, I made improvements to the typography on the back cover and rotated the tracklist and then wrote the bands name roughly with photoshops paintbrush. The reason for me creating typography with the paintbrush was to add more of the rough, graffiti feel to the cd cover. I also managed to find the European cd cover variant from a website named ww.vblurpage.com. This was a relief because the cd information and publisher symbol was there and finally applied a layer of authenticates to my cd cover; however, as I forcefully made efforts to adjust and fit the information amongst the other artwork and typography on the back cover, eventually I came to the conclusion that there was to much information and decide...

Session Review After completing the Gorrilaz CD cover my lecturer presented the class and I with a timed two-hour brief. Overall this went well after first thinking it said blue shore it was an actual blue shoe and I drew waves then refined it into a shoe with a wave. and a colleague gave an excellent critical service.

Tuesday 24th February 2015 Session Review I have begun to draw and ink the final hand rendering for my Gorrilaz CD cover. My first use of visual reference as to watch the music video for the song Dirty Harry from the album Demon Days and capture screenshots of the four band members Murdoc, 2d, Russel and Noodle. Overall I am truly satisfied with the final hand rendered results and look forward to colouring the drawing digitally once scanned to the computer on campus.
