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.

The country Britain not only stands against terrorism and discrimination but also fights against those issues to protect society.

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

Create Your Identity

This project helped me to understand what a brand is and how to develop one. Before I started creating a brand which shows my own personality we had to answer a couple questions in collectives. What is the purpose of a brand? Answering the question a brand creates an identity, makes a company unique and recognizable as well as communicates value and quality to the customer. What is an excellent example of self-promotion and why? The brand NIKE is well known around the world and promises the company's value of their products. Because of NIKE having symbiotic relationships with for example celebrities the brand promoting itself to a wide range of people. Is a brand a company, a product, or a person? Discuss and state why.
