Colour Day

We had to go out in Manchester and take 5 images off a list we had been given and then bring them back to the studio to hang up
I found it refreshing to have a break from our projects and look at other things and actually get out of the studio. Even though we all had the same brief, we came back with completely different images. It was also nice to place one of my samples in different surroundings and see how it worked. We were very lucky with the weather because the sun was perfect for the photos.  The image i found most interesting was the double yellow lines, it is so simple yet you can take some many different photos of it.   

I loved looking at all the images on the wall and how the colours jumped out to me and made me look more closely at some of the smaller details. It looked like a mosaic wall of brights colours. No one knew who's images were who's so that made it even more interesting having anonymous images up.

here are some examples of the groups of images they are so different yet manage to complement on another

Sample Show

We had to bring in all our samples from both projects we have done so far, so from Origins and Samples. It was interesting combining my samples from different projects and creating intriguing colour palettes, structures, shapes, use of marks and mixture of 3D and 2D. It was also a way to look at how my peers work and how they combined their own samples in different catalogues.
Katie then chose particular people to show their sample and got out peers to choose combinations unaware of what their project entailed. Then did the same thing but with people who knew their project brief. It is interesting to see the difference of know their brief or just picking out elements of samples that you feel work together. I found this session very effect and have started to use it in my own work, by getting people in my flat that are unaware of my project and see what they think my samples reflect, this can even lead you going off in a different direction. I feel it is so key to observe my peers development and their influences and to get feedback from them in our tutorial session because they often have key points that I have not even though about.

Here are some combinations of my samples:

Some where more successful then others it was just interesting to look at combinations i would have never though about
