15/10/2010

Friday, although we Foundation students
have a day off, me and Ravika decided to go
in to college to work on our final pieces. I
thought that only me and Ravika will be there
but Tom had also come in to do some work.ニコニコ
I was able to finish of my Fine Art final piece,
I only have to stick down the writing and images.ニコニコ

I also worked on my 3D design model. Which is
mostly completed now.ニコニコ


Later on we were supposed to go to Service Point.
They are printers, and we are supposed to ask them
to photocopy our work in black & white to A0 size
for Digital Apps. We couldn't do this as we weren't
able to print our work out in college because there
wasn't anytime left
as college closes at 4-5pm on Fridays.かお

Later on, in the evening, I did make this random image of Teru from
Versailles, using an official photo and one of mine from
the live. I made this just to other possiblites for my
zine...but it was random.

I actually used the wrong offical photo, as it
would have been better if used the image from
Jubilee because it would have matched the photo
from the live, but this was what I had on the laptop
at the moment (all my other images were taken off
when we had to fix the laptopかお, and they were on
my iPod which I couldn't be bothered to plug in, lol にひひ).
But, I do like how it has turned out.ニコニコ

Fine Art 14/10/2010

In my lesson I started my making my final
piece which is a iPod made from old audio
media.

Making it was enjoying and I did not encounter
any problems or difficulties.

I nearly finished it at the end of the day...just a
little bit was left to finish off.

Digital Apps 13/10/2010

In today's lesson I was working on my zine idea which I am doing for my final.  Basically I am looking at Versailles for my Visual Kei zine.  Looking at their fashion, style, music, lyrics, story/theme, ect. ニコニコ

For this piece I used images from the Versailles live I went to in the summer, and some official images.  I also added some typeography which was in Japanese, the lyrics to 'The Love from a Dead Ochestra'. ニコニコ There is however some English typeography, the band's name, but it is very small.ダウン

I really like how it's turned outニコニコグッド!

Adam showed us how to make an animation with our work using Adobe After Effects.  I enjoyed creating the animation, and like Adam said it's not difficult but fun.ニコニコ

-------

Last night I produced more some examples.

The second example is my favourite and I'm using it through my work. ニコニコ

Edits:ダウン

Added some colour blocks as well as some typeography.  The typeography here are just words which I feel match with certain visual kei. It looks a lot better than before ニコニコグッド!

Photoshop was used to produce the work for my zine. ニコニコ

Visual Studies 12/10/2010

In today's lesson we just finished off the drawings we started last week.  Colin had taken a photo of the set up of the food & drink from the positions where we were standing/sitting so that we can kind of set it up the same again today...The photo was a great help to see where everything was.ニコニコ

At first I didn't like this but now I think it's looking good.ニコニコ

Contextual studies 12/10/2010

In today's lesson we only discussed which art
work we chose to analyse with Graham, and also
did some researchニコニコ

CAD/ICT 12/10/2010

Again in Jackie's lesson we were using Photoshop to create more edits and manipulations, and again I used this lesson to help me with Digital Apps.ニコニコ
Although I couldn't do much, as Photoshop turned off while I was doing my work..making me lose itしょぼん, I still manged to produce some good work.ニコニコ

This I had to draw out as the computers didn't have the language pack insatalled, so I couldn't see or
write in Japanese.  Jackie got one of the IT guys from CAPITA to sort it out for me... so the computer I use will have the language pack installed by next lesson...YAY...thanks Jackie!ニコニコ

Made another logo...this is prob the one i'll use for my zine.

This is kind of incomplete.  I think I will add text to it to make it more interesting.ニコニコ I was thinking of only using Japanese for my zine and if there will be any english (most likely translations) the font size will be very small.ニコニコ

3D Design 11/10/2010

Yesterday in 3D design I started making my final piece. I would have finished it but I had a little trouble. One, I needed to cut more wire out.  Two, I decided not to spot weld my pieces together as they won't be acurate plus I didn't have enough time to spot weld that many pieces together.えっ Instead I decided to use wire, but the thin wire had finished.  I tried is with a slightly thicker one, but that didn't hold the pieces together.しょぼん I then tried using a hot glue gun which worked perfectly fine...my thought was why didn't I do this first...wouldn't have wasted so much time trying other methods, lol.えっ

It's going good.  Now I can finish it off quicklyニコニコ

Art Gallery 08/10/2010

Yesterday, me, Ravika and Zulfikar went to the art gallery to analyse the two pieces of art work we had chosen.アートニコニコ
I had only chosen one which I liked, so I had to look around the gallery again to choose another.アート

The two pieces I have chosen are:
1) 'Hope Comforting Love in Bondages', by Sidney Harold Meteyard
sa88aのブログ

2) 'The Pilgrim and Dancers in the Garden of Idleness' by Edward Burne-Jones.
(Can't seem to find an image of it on the internet +  I'm not allowed to upload the photos I took at the gallery.)

I really like these two piece, especially the first one. The second piece is by one of my favourite artists.ニコニコ
