GDES1010 Design:Skills And Theory

Tuesday 16th February 2015 Session Review I have begun to undertake some secondary research on some the artists that were provided in the class brief; however, I wrote down  list of some of my favorite artists that I believe will be also visually intriguing to draw. The album that I believed had the most potential was albums such as Electric Lady and Are You Experienced from The Jimi Hendrix Experience because the songs featured i that albums could be used as an influential reference in the overall album design. Songs from the track such as Purple Haze and All Along The Watch Tower.

Friday 6th March 2015 Session Review  Today I undertow some secondary research on the selection of books available for the penguin books award competition. Furthermore, I read the brief in detail and wrote down key information such as the books, deadline date and entry requirements. I then watched a video to the winners of 2014 provided by the penguin site. I then proceeded to go the author Jeanette Winterson's website and do additionally background research on her and I discovered that the book Oranges are the not her only fruit is similar to her own experiences growing up in a Christian household.

Tuesday 24th February 2015 Session Review In the events of todays session I have drawn the final hand rendered infographic poster;however, I had to browse through the internet for additional reference images. Once the class session had begun the class and I took it in turns to discuss and display each one of our hand rendered infogtaphic poster. Once it was time to display my own poster the feedback I received was truthful stating I have to work on m¥ composition which is a recurring piece of advice that has followed me since my studies in college for art or design based tasks.
