Software workshop

The software workshop helped us to get to know Adobe Photoshop, Adobe Illustrator and Adobe InDesign better. We learned that those three editor programs are used for different tasks so we would always need more than one editor to get a project done.

Photoshop is great with pictures because its working with pixels. A lot of times it is used to cut out different images from various photos to create a kind of collage using different layers.

Illustrator is used to design for example logos and to make different shapes just as triangles or squares.

The last editor which we were dealing with is InDesign which is used to create any kind of layers, books or magazines.

Basically, if I would like to design a magazine I would have to design a front page out of different photos using Photoshop. Then I would also design logos or shapes by using Illustrator and after that I would copy them into InDesign to come up with my finished magazine. That means that all three editor work together to create one perfect outcome.

Also important to remember is that any photos or moving images which only appear on a screen like the TV or Instagram are made with RGB Colours (Red, Green, Blue).

Photos or outcomes which are going to get printed are made with CMYK Colour (Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, Key). That is because the printer are only able to print using CMYK Colour. Referring to that the colours would turn out differently on paper than on screen when using RGB Colours for instance for printing a magazine.

British Values - Individual Liberty

The country Britain not only stands against terrorism and discrimination but also fights against those issues to protect society. The Prevent Strategy was set up in 2006 by the government to stop people supporting terrorism or becoming terrorists. The strategy is subdivided in three major aspects which are challenging the ideology that stands for terrorism, protecting innocent people and supporting those sectors which have a risk of radicalization. To prevent that young adults or even children turn into terrorists the government developed the Equality Act in 2010 which tackles inequality and prevents discrimination against people with 'protected characteristics' inside public schools. Examples for 'protected characteristics' are the age, disability, sex or sexual orientation, the religion, etcetera. In fact of that the British Values are defined as "democracy, the rule of law, individual liberty and mutual respect and tolerance for those with differe...

FMP Proposal

The Final Mayor project is an eight weeks long project on a topic which I have to decide. To begin the project I need to write a proposal explaining the concept and aim of the project i am planing on doing. It can be anything such as advertising or graphic campaigns. Starting with a huge brain storming that shows themes I am interested in and ideas. I Split the mind map in four different topics, diabetes, social problems during different centuries, the danger of nightlife and globalisation. To think of more details and write down more ideas about each topic I also did mind maps on each single theme. While doing those I payed attention to think of questions that interests me and on which I could focus doing the project. My peer members helped me to sort out ideas which were not that important, focus and improve those which I could develop in my further process. Starting with initial ideas I formed proper questions out of them for which I could collect research. Not...

Evaluation - Art Fund - Live Project

Starting the process I researched various graphic campaigns to get an idea of what I could design. The library helped me to find great advertisements and different designs. Regarding to that I realised that research should always be the first step before starting to design my own graphics because even though I did not know what to create I got inspired by other designer and were able to pitch my strongest ideas. The pitch helped me to decide what idea I want to focus on and how I could develop it. My peer members shared their thoughts and gave suggestions which helped me to get a better understanding of my outcome. I also learned that it is important to be confident in what I represent so I am able to convince my audience (in this case collectives) from my idea. Because we always practice sharing our designs and ideas in front of others I am now confident talking about my designs. It is easier for me to take critics and transfer them into my work than in the beginning of this ...
