Blog Buddy Review: Advertisements

-

The initials ideas, for me, were clear: her research showed the idea she wanted to show and to which points she wanted to highlight, but the development to the final product was not very clear. She skipped on most processes, and had not placed much personal comments which could've helped.

The research, while related to the source and motif used, does not say much about why she chose such sources nor were they actual adverts. Only one of the pictures was an advert; the other three pictures were simply photos with headphones. It would have been helpful if more adverts with similar themes or adverts with similar composition were used during the development.

The process was not clearly stated: tools used, which application used, and more were not stated, so it would be beneficial if such details were added. It would also be helpful if there was a motif and process in making the logo. Additionally, there is not much commentary on the process: saying little notes such as what and why were specific fonts used would be great.

The final outcome was quite clear: without much context, I could tell that it was a headphone ad relating to something outdoors, possibly referencing enhanced noise silencing. Some comments I would like to make is that as the font is quite thin, it is not very visible unless you focus on it, which many people do not for adverts. Also, the colour of the font for the third advert is not clear, so it should be changed. Otherwise, I think the composition for the first and second advertisements are great.

Art Portfolio 1: Sign Off and Major Project Plan

-
Image
 I had a discussion with my tutor regarding the major project for sign off, and I was told to continue on the project. I was further told to research on topics related to my theme, such as logo and enamel pin designs in real life use from charities or companies, and to attend to an Abstract Art workshop in Week 5 as I had planned to use abstraction techniques in designing my work. The details of the sign off can be found in the link below. Link to Sign Off Sheet  I went on to fill the details of the Major Project Plan as required. The details can be found in the link below. Link to Major Project Plan After this post I intend to do the following: Research on given artists Join workshops required (Abstraction and Composition) Develop sketches according to workshops joined Do material research: practice on abstraction techniques and materials, set up of magazines and logos Practice mockup techniques for magazines and enamel pins And to create final work through these processes.

End Term 1: Reflection Post

-
With this term, I have tried out many different projects, of some I liked and some I hated. I had initially struggled in the beginning; I have never tried out photography or any related projects, however as I progressed, I believe I have gotten more efficient in researching for my works and analysing how to better attract the audience I am aiming form. However, I feel like I was poor with time management, therefore affecting the quality of my works. This class was quite stressful in some ways, pushing my limits and boundaries, however I feel like I improved in the end.

Further Artist Research: Fluid Art and Emma Lindström

 Fluid art, also known as acrylic paint pouring and flow art, has been an art technique that has been rising in popularity due to its simplistic way of creating with  stunning result. It is made using acrylic paints, of which are usually soft body acrylics (thinner acrylic paints) or acrylic ink as they are already in liquid (or close to liquid) form, mixed to a pouring medium. Depending on the type of medium, it can create different effects such as having a layer of ‘coating’ or giving. A watercolour-like look. Pouring different pigments of acrylic pours give it interesting textures and patterns, making it one of techniques used in abstract art. As McGorlick-Appelman (2020) says, fluid art techniques are used to ‘ create gliding organic and hypnotic free flowing abstract compositions ’. Emma Lindström, n.d.,   AYIIHLA 2  More medium can be added onto the base mixture to create additional abstract patterns. Silicone oils can be added into the mixture or dropped on top of the work to cr
