TYPOGRAPHY.

For my own design of Typography, i used the Quote ".. Not perfect, always have a little edge." This quote was featured in the documentary of the type "Helvetica". It inspired me along with the concept of edgy punk fonts which were used in the 80's era by punk bands such as 'Blondie' and 'Sex Pistols'. These edgy, provocative type faces created a 'punk' facade to the world, something of which their 'punk-rocker' followers would be able to identify with. I intended to capture this idea, along with the aesthetic of Helvetica, and transform a type face which has been used all around the world. For this I was able to create it using tools on photoshop mixing both straight bold Helvetica and my design of punk type. I wanted to keep the Helvetica untouched and use the space around the lettering to show the "little edge" I was aiming for.

6. Axonometric.

This is my first time doing any sort of graphical drawing (other than Section). To be honest I think this was a good job and it captured the movement of my object, being a craft knife, perfectly. the movement shows the blade in various sizes coming out of the object and the movement of the dial which forces the blade to slide in and out of the socket. this also tightens and loosens with the movement but i was unable to describe that in my axo drawing.

5.Sketch.

This was my interpretation of one of the artist models work presented to us at the start of our 6th lesson. Here I used a .2 pen to create lighter and darker gradients through the pattern around and in my object. I was able to do this through the repetition of lines and the space between them varying sizes.

4. Section.

This was my first attempts at graphic drawings, i hope it is portraying the right standards of a sectional drawing. My object was a craft knife.

3.Hatch.

This was one of my last tries at hatching as I was experimenting with spiraling the shadings through the page, which I found was not a choice we could present with. This hatching shows my capability of shading through the density of my work, and how with four separate patterns I was able to show the same grading of shade portrayed through each whilst changing the gradient across the page at the same time.

2. Draw.

Here we were to draw an object and its different views with no ruler used. Although I am not much of a drawer, and love to show my art through design, I think I did well with this project as the sizing and features on my object are relatively precise. The object, being my phone, did not have too many important features on all the sides, but I wanted to show a 3D look to my drawing to create the object to the audience as a whole.

1. Identity.

For this project, Identity, I was able to pick 5 items from my bag and off myself that would best describe my character. These five items included my stretcher, which is a type of earring that stretches the lobe cavity. This shows my edgy and trying new things side to me. My phone, which i keep on me nearly every minute of the day, showing my need to communicate with others via vertical messaging. My sunglasses, which are one shade of black that indicates my views on style and my bold look. My necklace, which has recently broke, which also is an example of my fashion taste and accessories that i wear, it shows my pretty girl side with an indie feel which then relates to the kind of music I listen to. Lastly a pen, this shows the artistic side of me that is shown through my drawings and designs.
All of these items are composed into a shape that creates an 'L' which then stands for the letter of my name.
