Portrait of Celinn

My idea was to create a portrait of Celinn, who is a Graphic Design (BA) student at Ravensbourne, that is consisting of a painting and photographs.

I started with interviewing her and found out that she will specialize in Editorial in the Graphic Design Pathway. My first impression of her was open-minded, friendly and kind.

To create a portrait in size of a standard UK stamp I experimented how to collage the sketch I had drawn of her face.

While doing that I paid attention that Celinn would be recognizable in the outcomes. Then I used different effects to combine the photograph with the painting.

After printing the stamps I found out that I was not happy with my outcomes. Therefore I started thinking about a different layout because I liked my idea of combining painting and photographs.

I used bigger stripes of the photographs and also thought about its transparency.

The stamp should convey the feeling of movement and knowing Celinn just by looking at the artwork.

In that case I used more layers and different angles of her face.

After I created a design which I liked I wanted to make the stamp more personal. For this reason I wrote her name by hand on the outcome instead of using a computer font.

The task showed me that an artwork does not has to be big to be impressive. Therefore it is important to think about every detail even the outcome is small sized.

I enjoyed doing this project because I did not just learn how to create a small design but also about the Graphic Design Pathway and the kind of teaching at Ravensbourne.

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...

Evaluation - Signs, Symbols & Semiotics

In the beginning my collective and I thought that the task to create a whole wayfinding system for North Greenwich in only one week is tough and really stressful. However, we started with the brief right away and managed to finish it before the deadline. On Monday we visited the North Greenwich Station and created a questionnaire to find more out about the already existing navigation signs. Referring to our trip it really helped us to get inspired for our final outcome. Furthermore it showed us that sometimes it is necessary to involve a wide range of people to create something that talks or response or even helps them. Working in my group was really fun and effective. Everybody focused on the brief and had different ideas on how to come up with a general system. I also think that it is important to learn working in groups because usually when you work as a designer you need to be able to cooperate and be a part of a group. I also enjoyed working with my two peers because I ...

Evaluation - Record Recode

Looking at the process and my outcomes from the project Record Recode I am happy with my work. I am the opinion that I designed a strong typeface that communicates my art term well. My peer review evidenced this also. The whole process helped me to understand that it is important to experiment first and do not focus on one single idea to be able designing a strong font style. I experimented a lot with different materials and techniques to come up with different ideas that response to De Stijl such as digital editing using Photoshop and Illustrator, collaging and painting. The peer feedback also showed that I designed a strong and big amount of experimentation which are based on research that is represented clearly. Furthermore I learned a lot about the art movement De Stijl and Bauhaus which has a big impact on the worlds art. I am fascinated and inspired how this art term arose because I think it is interesting that people with different professions such as architects, des...
