NO NEWS IS GOOD NEWS-part 2
MESSAGE AND INTERPRETATION
After locating my quote in the September 15th issue of the Guardian newspaper i decided to form a small questionnaire,well only 2 questions like,but questions that were open to many a opinion:
'What does healthy mean to you? and 'Can you force someone to be healthy?'
I got a mass of research from the responses, the overriding conclusion being that you cannot force anyone to be healthy,it's ultimately up to that person and that person alone.They must have the will power(cheers Mum!) motivation,self-discipline and determination to do so.
So,new brief.This is to be in formed from the reading week research brief and Monday briefing and workshop.And from the workshop,taking into consideration statements of opinion/fact and open/closed questions,i have learnt:
Closed questions=Fact/stats responses
Open questions=opinionated responses
Bonus!!
3 high impact posters,that deliver a 'personal identified message'.This message came from the quote research in the first part of the brief.
Keep it simple.no black or white in final resolutions.1 poster=type.1 poster=image.1 poster=type and image.A3 scale but not A3 format. TOO MANY LIMITATIONS!
and my final resolutions...

phallic looking carrots+'eat me'=funny, but likely to offend!
so i took all the visual stuff i'd done and applied it to another radical,cancer fighting SUPER food...the humble apple.

and my final resolutions...
kinda harsh on the eyes right??? i think so to but 'high impact' was the name of the game.
NO NEWS IS GOOD NEWS-part 1
im researching the quote
'You can't force someone to be healthy'
and forming an opinion...
..but i cant actually locate the headline!

WHAT IS ORANGE?
errrmm...(this is now something i increasingly say a lot!)
This is another of those briefs where we had to produce 10 resolutions. But these resolutions had to visually answer 'WHAT IS ORANGE?
why 10?why,why,why??
'Colour is the most immediate form of non-verbal communication.We naturally react to colour...'
Again i got a dictionary definition and thought about the words that the colour orange conjured up in my mind.I guess these came from associations and just odd words that came to me! Next step was thinking about what context i would associate or find orange in,what objects i would associate with orange and finally what phrases arise from the colour orange. This approach to idea generation worked quite well for me.A mish mash of mad words-associated with orange in some way-being the result.

p.s. im not really in a band called Duck Feet Riot!!
(even though it would be pretty fit!)
In the making...
the final resolutions
Im not sure what to think. Even though i know what these 10 compositions mean,i dont think visually-apart from the stock colour- they represent the colour 'orange' that well.My interpretation contains elements of what i feel orange is,but that wouldnt necessarily be understood by someone else??????
this one's a thinker...
Colour Me!
some more colour experimentation...
I did actually enjoy this part of the colour theory workshop,photographing different compositions of objects on coloured card-a simple task! I think you begin to appreciate how colour works; those colours that work well together and those that dont.
Im guessing what you take from this workshop informs how and whether you do actually use colour in future briefs.
errrmm,looks like i have a slight love affair with that feather man...its everywhere!
My favourite COLOUR!
Nah,it really is i swear!
Even my bedroom at home is orange...that's pure,pure dedication to the colour that is ORANGEi tell u!
This is just ironic because my 10 collected items all had to be orange,spooky! My first item being a pastry brush/kinky tickling device! i received on the very first day.
Colour theory
with the rest of my 'orange' group and with all of our orange collected objects,we tried to arrange our stuff into some kinda scale of light to dark/most red to most yellow orange.Im not sure it really worked...just looked like a mass arrangement of orange 'things'=pretty!
nice chicken Boris!!!
typeface-completed!
daves typeface completed-full alphabet and glyphs
This is the typeface i have produced for Dave(left) Daves typeface for me is the trace on the right and i feel quite embarrassed as his does really represent me and mine looks quite boring.I didnt intend on doing because it doesnt represent Daves lively,vibrant personality/character.
After searching for fonts and existing typefaces that could sum up or represent the qualities of Daves character,i decided to take a plain,standard font(Arial Black in the end)and manipulate that in a way to produce a more lively and personal typeface.
I looked at Daves own handwriting as it was an existing collection of letterforms and tried intergrating that with some standard fonts.
Daves handwriting is all in uppercase so i kept that element. I wanted to show 2 sides of Daves pesonality through the typeface.A more serious side: honest,hardworking,intelligent.This is where i have kept half the original font with right angles.But the other side of his personality:funny,quick thinking,witty humour is represented through the quick mark making taken from Daves own handwriting,found in the questionnaire he filled in.
just some experimentations
The typeface is simply lines representing Daves down to earth nature.The existing font/letterforms have been manipulated yet they are still legible,not over complicated like Dave himself,just an 'honest sound lad'! And i've also incorporated an element of dave himself through using his handwriting.
Even though Dave WOULD NOT agree because the name badge i made was crappy,this project felt like Christmas!!well...not exactly,but i was well excited about getting my name badge.This is what Dave made,based on my personality,so awesome!!
It even matched what i was wearing that day,he must be bloody psychic or summet! or just knows me well,which was the aim of the brief.
