Hi Guys
This is my collage toward LA 04 Technology final assessment task. I found it interesting  in choosing images for black and white and line art. Pleased with the detail even though my line art wasn't a flower. What do you think?

Hi all
I have added my intended version for type on a path.

Hi all, this task was to create a cd cover for the TSO using family and friends images to imitate modern composers. I struggled with the time output on this one trying to find like comparisons which meant the end collation was a little rushed. On a good note instead of being Mozart or the phantom I'll stick to being a designer and my great grandfather pictured top right can stick to being a Tasmanian composer

This thumbnail exercise required drawing an object 50 different ways in this case a banana. Here is my Viking Banana which with some polish could be used for Valhalla Ice cream" Get your horns into great new flavours" 

 

This exercise was to create a number collage in Adobe Illustrator using repetition of numbers, size, colour, and texture. This is my spider

This colour wheel was an exercise for using in design and the CMYK process to infill the wheel with colour

This 16 page mini booklet shows a visual interpretation of design elements found in a variety of ads in magazines, The accompanying text describes how the ads have utilised those design elements to create a more persuasive capture of consumer focus. Enjoyed this learning activity, hope you like the selection

OHS issues mindmap for workstation,ouch!

OHS Footwear Sign addresses the comfort issue that many workers have had with safety boots in the past. The OH&S officers for most companies these days know that footwear companies have addressed that issue and that a great range of safe products exist

OHS Goggles Sign gives workers that last minute reminder that grinder blades/ by-products don't mix

OHS Fire Equipment Sign addresses common procedures (alerting) to the responders

OHS Signs- May have been able to lower the text at centre but pleased the sign addresses the OHS issue of untrained staff proceeding work without the right training or chemical data

Hey all
The OHS learning activity here was to redesign an office/workstation as we would like to have it. The layout allows me room to move for those moments my legs need blood returning to them and the intended furniture addresses shortcomings in my current situation. The mobile hessian noticeboard in centre was a must have for my secondary viewing

This ad is definitely playful and has taken a child's toy concept of Jack-In-A-Box and imitated the surprise of  the spring release. This relates well to vitality and the intended product benefit.

This ad conveyed tension well. The sense that the mum in this ad is likely to fall graphically captures the viewer to then read on or discover the relationship between the product and the image

 The symmetry in this ad represented ORDER which I imagine makes it easier to find an item amongst multiple items

The simplicity of reverting the angle capturing the toilet in this ad conveys a good example of increase with objects within the frame

This add was a good representation of congested

This ad best represented BOLD with the magnification of the drivers face through the side mirror.

LA 03 Positive and negative form

The request in this activity was to focus on the background to an object rather than the object itself. Whilst this seemed awkward at first, it really does make you focus intently on the space surrounding the desired object. It really supported my increased understanding of the whole space within the frame being considered when presenting objects for someone to view.

LA 02 Black Squares

This activity required using combinations of black square shapes to convey a message graphically about 6 words. Initially I was puzzled but then as I just drew without concern or apprehension as to the finished product, I found that this was a fabulous exercise that not only forces you to think graphically but also builds confidence as you go.

Line art freehand drawing and best dpi

The learning curve for this activity was the importance of choice for the background material. Also selecting the right dpi to scan the image to show the line art whilst reducing the imprint of the background material meant 600 dpi was the best setting.

Welcome to my blog.
The work that gets posted here will no doubt grow, not just in time, but in quality too. I look forward to sharing posts with you and seeing the possibilities that occur. Thankyou to my initial followers and fellow students/teachers in advance. It must be fate that I heard quoted yesterday that Picasso said,"Everything you can imagine is real," and also “Every child is an artist. The problem is how to remain an artist once he grows up.” From here on in then I am committed to remaining.
