Project 4a - Home Making is Killing Vinyl

For this brief we has to create 6 witty, creative or aesthetically intriguing paper toys that could be downloaded off the internet for users to print off and make themselves. I decided to go with the "aesthetic" route and create paper toys that represent 3D versions of well known or fascinating 2D art.

Influenced by the famous London Underground Map.

Influenced by Chris Ware, and using Patrick Hughes' Reverspective Method.

Influenced by the "Orphism" movement.

Influenced by the "Russian Constructivist" movement.

Influenced by Charles Sheeler's "Windows"

Influenced by the Bauhaus' colour trials.

Project 2a - How to Draw Anything!

The project was to experiment with perspective. We were taught how to use 1pt, 2pt and 3pt perspective and we had to apply these skills in our own way. There were no final pieces to design, we were just told to experiment.

My first attempt (besides two hours of it in college) of life drawing, I am really pleased with the bottom left drawing of lucy, as it actually resembles her.

Our tutor said that he was expecting the graphic designers to be able to draw a box in perspective as it would come in useful for the future, so I decided to draw one to do just that.

Project 1c - Little Boxes

The brief asked us to create 8 10cm x 10cm cubes. We were given a list of subjects, and another list of rules of how to construct the cubes.

Here are 4 out of the final 8 cubes I designed, from left to right;

Pop Art - repetition/pattern

The end of the pier - die cutting

Chris Ware - collage

Mao Zedong - complimentary colours
