More water research

this development in researched help me realise a bit more of the shape of the water i was looking for. i used the Macro setting to try and get close to the shapes and sections of the spillage. i tried a few with the flash setting but it created bad reflections of the surface of the table. the glass table offered and interesting surface to work with however i probably need to look at a surface the defines the whole shape much clearer!









i used a darker back ground to create a clearer image from the spillage the shapes are really interesting.

i think the shapes i am creating from this research are more realistic than the shapes i initially design with big droplets coming of the letters which was quite unrealistic.







with these photos i used the multiple shot function on my camera to try and capture the action of spilling liquid/ pouring it.i think this helps support my other research and that my designs need to be influenced more by the realistic shape of a spillage rather than creating imagery from a lack of quality research.

when generating the imagery for my design i need to make sure that the lines and very smooth but morph the letter shapes in a way which represents the shapes created through my research. But maintain the readability of the letter forms.

water research

Initial research into splashes and water to try stem some imagery from the shapes, to generate hand drawn type from the shapes created. i initially looked at how the water came out of a tap and splashed out on the sink. but i feel the quality of the photos are pretty poor. i then looked at the shape on plates using coloured water (using juice) but it just formed one smooth shape, i tried to effect the shape by blowing it but it really didn't come up with much shape and distortion as i had hoped.


after an initial set of tests didn't really work i tried working with pouring the liquid and photographing what happened, again i feel the quality of the photos are not great. therefore i looked into further techniques.

crayola poster development

a simple test using the paint brush tool in Photoshop and the gradient tool to try computer generate a scribble effect........there is a scribble filter that i could have potentially used but not sure its what i want the scribble to look like

These are some simple samples of some test i did with the type face, adjusting the stroke fill. testing colour ways and seeing how i could make the design more like crayon!

I really don't like how this design is working out think i need to go back to the drawing board on this one!

headline development

Basically had a tutorial and agreed the headline needed to be clearer and that it could be incorporated into the design. i don't really like where these designs are going so need to work on it i feel there are too many type faces being used....need to simplify this.

Arjowiggins, Bostock&Pollitt: idea

Idea:


I looked at some of the shapes of climbing frames and how they we're put together and drew up a concept of every branch being attached like the metal poles on a climbing frame. i feel the idea isn't as strong as i first thought i think i want to make more of a climbing frame in the shape of a tree and join it all from the number one. possibly from this i could incorporate some text into the design in the main tree part of the design.

Arjowiggins Graphic and Bostock and Pollitt research

For this brief i want to pin down an idea. The concept and idea derives from my One chosen memory of tree's, which is climbing them a lot. therefore i will need to create an image that is creative fun and represent this concept of a climbing frame. I will research into the shapes and structure of climbing frames, other playground structures....slides, swings etc. I need to decide the style i would like to produce the work in as i am very interested in type and image and hand generated type and the calibration with other imagery.

B&W Copy




Colour Copy

I think that these designs are very poor and really don't represent what i am about as a designer and my ability as a designer so i am going back a step to realise what i wanted to produce and research more into the design and how the symbol ' 1' is present as part of the image rather than ignored as i have done in these designs.
