What makes me me?
What makes me a designer?
Using the imagery and text we had collected for this session we were asked to get into pairs and swap our own with another pair and then move to another table so that the work we are looking at wasn't being overheard by anyone else.
I was paired with Harrison for this task and we firstly looked at Sarah's images.
We were asked to separate the images into personal and practice and then write down a 50 word statement for each of the categories. This was quite interesting, especially as we didn't have the written work with the images so we had to just make sure that they were as accurate as possible.
Sarah - personal
Yin/Yang - balance
Loves Disneyland
Buddhism - follows belief?
Loves Christmas
Infinity symbol
Sarah - practice
Psycho work - colourful
Papercut art
Charlotte's web
Concept development
Royalty - decorative design
Personal statement for Sarah:
Sarah either follows Buddhism beliefs or admires their views on life. She also likes the festive period of the year and possibly the colours involved in this. Sarah also loves Disneyland, possibly because it is magical and inspiring. The yin and yang symbol and infinity symbol could also represent peace, equality and something being everlasting.
Practice statement for Sarah:
Sarah is interested in psychodelic design from the 60's including both type and image. She also has a fondness for design that involves papercut and crafts. She values strong concept development and feminine aspects within her design such as decorative designs and colours.
Danielle - personal
Inspirational quotes
Hairstyles
Deserts
Obama
Weight?
Danielle - practice
Type
Editorial - layout
Screenprint
Grid and layout
Colour
Personal statement for Danielle:
Danielle has a keen interest in hair styles and colour and is constantly changing hers. She shows a strong admiration for Obama and also has a fondness for inspirational quotes. She loves deserts and has a sweet tooth but is self conscious about her weight.
Practice statement for Danielle:
Danielle has a strong interest in editorial design and layout. She likes to explore the use of colour whilst at the same time apply a grid to her work to ensure it works visually. She also likes to experiment with type and loves the outcome of screenprinting.
Harrison and I then got together with Danielle and Sarah to discuss what we had written. We then read out what we had written for our own individual statements to compare accuracy. It turned out that we all had a similar perception of each other, showing that we know each other quite well. This should be the case seeing as we were put into our 'Communication Is A Virus' groups and therefore we should know our group members quite well after two weeks of working with them.
