Record & Recode - Collective work

What does Record and Recode actually means?

Recording means capturing a moment for example by taking photographs or sketching. These images can be personalized and developed for instance by adding an own point of view to them. This action is called recoding.

Before coming together in collective we learned about non-verbal communication, sequence and how to convey the alphabet in different ways using symbols or the human body.
Because of the presentation I got a quick insight of the different ways to express letters. Typography is not the only way to convey letters and communicate feelings. Those attitudes can also be communicated through dance and sound.

Afterwards we worked together in collectives and discussed our ideas about how to communicate 26 letters in the alphabets including our own bodies.
We all agreed on using references from "Paris is burning" by taking photographs of parts from our bodies while voguing as well as including shapes similar to the "Bauhaus movement" such as triangles. Our colour palette should be based on the classical ballet from Oskar Schlemmer, namely red, yellow and blue.

Furthermore we all liked the idea of combining typography with parts of our bodies as Karel 
Teige in "abeceda 1926" did.


I enjoyed working in my collective as all of us got included and showed respect towards each other. Everybody had ideas and also the chance to present them with the others. Evaluating our process I think that we experimented a lot with our body shapes, parts of ours and the angle of the camera as well as we included shapes.

After our photoshoot we started designing letters having a clear vision of what we wanted to create. Each of us could experiment with four different letters of the alphabet which we split up before.
I started to create a design for the letter "O". Having in mind that I wanted to focus on dynamic as well as the references that my group chose earlier in the day.





Then I looked at the letter "M" and "P". I furthermore looked at the Welcome Collection of Joceline Howe at the South London Gallery to get inspired by more shapes such as circles.

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

Designing a great and unique portfolio is one of the most important things to get into a good university or a job. The main aim is to show the best of my work. Regarding to that it is not just about final outcomes but also about experimentation and variation. A good portfolio reflects you as a creative designer, your knowledge about techniques and you  variety . To show that it is necessary to think about the layout and the typography representing your best works. The placement of your images and the scale of them also needs to be considered to make a good impression.  Basically your portfolio is a vital element that shows  your   ability of  conceptual thinking.

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. A brand is everything at ones. Basically is a brand developed as soon as somebody or something owns something. For instance a musician who own its songs. When this person decides to create its own collection a brand starts to grow. How do
