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, designers and painters come together and create a new art movement.
A lot of different artists that were inspired by the style De Stijl and combined it with their personal details of its artworks showed me the diversity of people's handwriting and helped me to come up with a lot of different experimentations.
Furthermore I noticed that it is always important to think about what I want to communicate and why I am designing this specific typeface in order look at my readability and choose the level of detail.
In this project I focused on a font style that represents an art movement. Therefore I wanted to create an outcome that includes a lot of details and also remind on an artwork rather than a typeface.

Because of the one day task to design a whole typeface responding to our art movement I studied how to scan, edit and digitalize handwritten letters. I learned how to add colour, to design a layout and write a sentences using the software photoshop. Even though the picture is asymmetrical the whole image should be balanced. Furthermore the letters and background should harmonise.


The criticism helped me to developed my outcome by looking at the background and combining it more with the typography. Using the different squares as columns and thinking about the placement of the words more helped me to come up with another design. This one harmonises better and conveys the impression of the art movement even better.


Working in collectives offered me the chance to experiment with a green screen to be able to edit my photographs later on. The work in collectives broaches the issue of teamwork in a short period of time which I really enjoyed. It also thought me to communicate during the whole process and develop ideas further as going along.


Designing the five experimentation sheets were a good practice to layout images in view of creating my portfolio. Furthermore it is helpful to learn to make decisions in terms of which images are good enough to be shown in the design sheets and be presented in front of an audience.







To bring my outcome in any context I thought about laying it out as a poster for a exhibition at the Tate Modern.




The GIF that I designed taught me how to use Photoshop to create moving images using photographs to communicate my chosen art term visually. By experimenting with different backgrounds and layouts I realized as simpler the design ins as stronger the message behind the font.



However, the most important thing that I have learned from this project is that I am the designer and that I have to decide which artwork communicates my intentions the strongest. There is nothing wrong about asking other people for their opinions and advices but in the end I am the person who has to make the decision and be happy with it.

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...

Portfolio

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...
