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...

I was not able to upload the working interactive PDF due to it not being compatible with blogger, but i do have the screenshot above. In the interactive PDF which i created on InDesign I have managed to have a video play on the large yellow square. The other four buttons where for, stop, play, pause and rewind. This workshop was very helpful because it gave me the skills to be able to add into my production and research document PDF. 

This workshop entailed us editing images using Photoshop, we also were introduced to RAW files which we had to experiment with. Using the lasso tool too cut out the hair around the person. We also played around smart layers which i think will be beneficial in future work.

For the Helvetic deconstruction class we  were to create a publication which would display the work. I worked in a group with four others. We decided to uses the previous piece of deconstructed helvetica which we made in a Theory as Practice Lesson to be able to piece together a sense. We chose to write 'Helvetica is a neutral well glyphed typeface, Created by ...  We all took a page to out together, I worked with James and put together the front cover, pages, 3/4 and the last two pages. 

For Rob's workshop we looked into Morpholo Tiles, it is a fame which uses square tiles to challenger the player to make pieces which have design on the which on are touching certain sides of the square. This task enabled me to have a extended go with illustrator and learn the uses of even more of the tools. Manipulating the type to make it fit what I wanted it to do was something that I enjoyed.
