What did i do today?

Today i finished off my Photoshop design. I added bridges to it so that it would be easier to cut it out with a stencil.

What went well and why?

i managed to add bridges this went well because when i print my design out i wont lose the little pieces.

What could i have done differently?

I turned up late today because of the busses, i could have got to the bus stop earlier so i was into college in time.

What do you have to do tomorow?

i have to properly finish the design and then print it out.

I really like this video because they actually go to india and investigate and prove their point. I also like this video because it has more action in it that the other video. I didn't really like the other video because it was just four people sitting round a table discussing the topic.

My point is that by just discussing it they aren't making a difference by doing something about it. I also didn't like the video because

STENCIL ART EVALUATION

DRAWING IMAGE BY HAND
My final piece was very different to the image that i drew in the first place. If i could repeat this i would spend more time drawing my image and look at other idea's to what my drawing could be. I find drawing really hard so i was really impressed with the image that i drew.

Re-creating your design in photoshop
i always find this really hard because i always really like my drawing by hand that i have made and dont ever manage to re-create the exact replica. I have found that i can use photoshop better now i have had much more practice on it i know what tools to use. After i had edited my design i decided that i was going to change it to a picture of Audrey Hepburn. I did this because i saw that other people had used pictures of Maryly Monroe and it looked really cool. Z

Cutting out my stencil in Acetate

I found this part the easiest out of the four stages. Even though it was tricky i found it quite easy to do and i did accidently cut off all her hair but it went with the pictrure

Weekend Homework

T-shirt design campaign idea 1 -

I think that everyone should get free EMA every week. This would improve my life because it would mean that i would have money to pay for the bus and for lunch at college. This would also improve other people's lives aswell especially those who struggle with money.

T-shirt design campaign idea 2 -

I think that everone should have free travel. If there was always free travel it would be easier to get to places and you could travel free by plane,car, bus or bike. It would also mean that we would all have more money.

T-shirt campaign design idea 3 -

An idea that i have had to make people smile is free chocolatte. There were people doing this the other day next to the grafton giving out free aero mint bars. Not only was this making people smile but it was also advertising the chocolate.

New stencil

After editing my design to make a stencil i decided that i didn't want to keep the one i had because i didn't like it and i didn't think it would make a good t-shirt. i then changed it to a picture of Audrey Hepburn.

Here is a picture of my new design

my first design was influenced by my friends and my ipod. I looked through the songs on my ipod and picked the song that had really good lyrics.

This design is influenced from the people in my group. I looked at the designs they were doing and went onto google and picked a famous actress to be my stencil.

Banksy

Banksy is an anonymous english graffiti artist who's stenciling technique is similar to Blek le rat. He does not sell photo's or street graffiti auctioneers have tried to sell his work before but have failed.

here is a picture that i found on his website

i like this picture because it not only is a stencil on the wall but he has added it onto the wall through the double yellow lines.

Stencil design

These are two pictures of my design.

my design is about song lyrics, i got the lyrics from the song 'get shaky' by the ian carey project. i have added pink and black colours as we are only allowed to have two and i have put some of the writing in bold.

A compilation of my acts of kindness from Tom Robbins on Vimeo.

This video is about a man called Troy Kennedy who is doing nice deeds to make people happy. He does several things to entertain people such as, for a day a cafe hands out free pancakes. And also going around with signs saying 'smile' and 'free hugs' I picked this video because i like the idea behind it. To promote this campaign they have added humour and they show Troy Kennedy also interacting with the public.
