Sense of Place - Word Association

Studio Practise

For the first sessions we spent time introducing ourselves saying where we were from and making general conversations before being given six post-it notes on which we had to write down words associated with the title of the project 'sense of place'

Below are my six:

River Ouses: the reason for this is simple both where I live and my home have a Ouse, the one here being the Yorkshire Ouse and the one being the Great River Ouse

Town: I currently am in a town which is much large from my local town St Neots

Accents: This was a big change for me in moving some accents being heavy so I struggled to understand what was being said.

People: Much like home the people here are welcoming and friendly

Alcohol : natural as a student a big part of what has been happening the last few weeks

Bars: Finding a lot of new ones and same brands here, like revolution.

Everyone's was then putup on the window creating this form

Wassily Kandinsky, a student from Bauhaus, circulated a questionnaire trying to determine the universal response for the relationship between colour and form. The questionnaire consisted of three shapes, a triangle, square and circle, he recipient was then to colour each one with a different primary colour etc. Red, blue or yellow. His questionnaire received a remarkable about of the same response. This may because those in the school had the same theoretical ideals.

They were also to give an explanation where possible. I decided to do this myself deciding differently to the Kandinsky original consensus. I felt as if the triangle should be red as this is what most red warning sign are shaped and coloured like. The circle is to be yellow as it re...

AfterEffects - Exploring Geometry

In this workshop we were to explore geometry in relevance to AfterEffects. I chose to use a pink and white colour scheme to begin with but in my second attempt I used a simple black and white, which I believe looks more effective. I learnt the following techniques in the workshop: transitions such as Venetian blinds and how to distort objects. The wiggler was very simple to use once I got the hang of it.

Rob Lycett Workshop - Manifesto

For this workshop we had to create our manifesto based on the work we did in a Monday Lecture. The point below are what it based it on. Passion - key ingredients to being productive If i do not find something interesting, or stimulating I struggle to work efficiently so therefore I will find and angle to work from every project which interests me. Changing Perceptions - Making the audience think The only way to become successful in what I do is to make my audience want to decode my work and find meaning. This way it will be memorable. Influence - Historical, Culture and Social influence will help me inform my work. By researching I will be able to determine if my theories and ideas will work or if they have been done before. Re-evaluate - Aiming higher I can always do something to improve my work and are it more appealing for its desired audience. Typography - Always consider my typeface...
