As i had decided that i would focus on the riots i did some research and looked at some images.

i wanted to look at the body positions and try to rein act them.

To extend my research we was told also to look and research into david carson who is a graphic designer his work revolves mainly around text, i think his work appealed to an audience who wanted to find the meaning.

i once again did a reaction to his work and was pleased with it, as it did contain text.

During lesson 4 we was told to research barbara kruger who is a american conceptual artist. who work i maily black and white images with text, all her work has meaning behind it, which really did appeal to me. we was asked to create a reaction, and i did so and was pleased of my outcomes.

One i had looked closely at adobe illustrator i then tried it out for my self and the out comes was good as i picked up a new skill and i new maybe i could incorporate it in my final pieces.

During the 3 lesson we started to look at font and how there are many ways of epxressing font via adobe illustrator. well we watched a clip on a introduction on designs and how to use it then we had a go at it ourselves just so we can get use to the idea so its easier for us to use towards the final stages.

i went away and decided to think over things and decide on what idea i can stick firm too.

After deciding that i was going to do it based around the contrast realistic/unrealistic i needed to do some research and similar artist who relate their work to it.  banksy a artist who does things which are very similar and creates images that a unrealistic and he creates the images from realistic views. his work was really inspiring as i looked at it and gave me a huge amount of ideas to think off.

after looking at his work i realised i wanted to create something similar to his work, but i wanted use something realistic so i decided i am going to focus on a even that happened not long ago which was the riots and maybe take some ideas from their to make them unrealistic.

Vis Comm

As we brainstormed i looked into many ideas that i could possibly do. we told what we would be creating which was an image which relates back to the contrast. so after a fair bit of research i decided that i will stick to the contrast realistic/unrealistic.

In the first lesson once again we was told that our theme would be constrasts and we was explianed about what we would be producing within the area of work. we was told using our contrast we would have to make a double page spread of images.

so as a group we brainstormed some contrasts.

Gold/silver
fact/fiction
rich/poor
strong/weak.
