GDES1010 Design:Skills And Theory

Session Review Today's session was satisfactory as I traveled to the jewelry quarter in Birmingham city centre and captureed two photographs of a tower at a graveyard they way the tower looks I could draw the top half of the twoer as a chess puiece head. The other photograph I manged to capture was of two large trees that stood opposite each other and resembled a star gate or mystical portal to me so I could could cut out the space between the trees and draw a portal shoud I choose to print these partuclar image.

Session Review As I ventured to the Birmingham city centre I traveled around and photographed some pictures of the St Annes church and another old gothic church. The photographs for the hcurch once a cetiain section is cut out could be replaced with hand drawn bats to make it seem like a vampiric building. By Sebastian Jones

Monday 19th January 2915 Session Review Figure A Today I have created a basic structure for my essay on comparing two posters from history. I have chosen to study to propaganda posters from different eras , the first being a world war one recruitment poster titled "Britain needs you at once" (figure a) and the second one ???. I have managed to find some reliable sources of information on the internet as a start and heeded what my tutor Andy Davidson said about looking for academic websites  containing .edu , .gov  or org at the end.

Tuesday 13th January 2015 Session Review It has been some time since I have written another production log for this module; however, during the Christmas holiday period I continued to sketch additional ideas for the fluffy baks lawyer firm logo. It would seem my continued research into ancient deities has paid off since I have found the great Egyptian goddess Ma'at and used her symbol of the feather for fluffy banks. Since the feather would be fluffy but stands for a symbol of order and law. I have also prepared two A3 display folders for all of my current final design work and for the supporting research pieces.

Tuesday 9th December 2014 Session Review Continuing from last weeks session I have decided to leave the ancient gods alone for now and use animals instead. Thankfully, I have finally created a strong concept for the lawyer logo; however, I decided to use take further research into heraldry and since heraldry and historical culture sand design is a passion it will help add enthusiasm to designing the final lawyer logo. As for the town logo task It was nice to discover new facts and receive a deeper knowledge of both Sparkbrook and Hallgreen. I may add  that I thankfully learned only a few small new facts which is good because it proved to myself that I know both of my respective hometowns, ......

Thursday 4th December 2014 Session Review During today's session, I have simply browsed through my A3 sketchbook looking at my past work for this module and added any additional sketches on idea page; However, once I had finished making quick improvements to my existing work I continued working on the Fluffy Banks bar idea and drew different typography for the bar logo. So far I like the idea of having the gentleman rabbit moustache on the f and the f wearing the top hat. By Sebastian Jones

Tuesday 2nd December, 2014 Session Review I had presented the map to the class as usual and despite me not thinking the route from st johns campus to the Hive thoroughly; Andy had given me some insightful feedback and encouraged me to expanded and improve on my existing idea of using a medieval map that incorporated Worcester's heritage and culture. Compared to the Worcester map assignment I feel this logo design will be in more accustomed to me since I have had past experience of logo design.( see log blah blah); However, for both logos, I had used a bunny rabbit since the company names must be called Fully Banks.
