Pecha Kucha -Targets 2012

This Pecha Kucha Project is focused on the main aims I hope to achieve this year.

In my second year of the FDA graphic and spatial communications course I intend to focus on creating 3d visuals using Vectorworks and other various software which will enable me to communicate my spatial designs more effectively. Over the summer I have spent some time looking at various images which are computer generated, and also communicate an artistic characteristic.

I Would love to develop a more hands on approach to my 3D designs, with the use of model making, I hope to experiment with different materials and work with scales and accurate measurments to produce models which will give me a more 'real' idea of how my intended space will look and what would need to be altered accordingly. 

My work experience with Kate Malone enabled me to develop my logo and branding design skills which I would like to pursue further.

Working with ceramics has really opened up areas of model making I have never experimented with before, I really enjoyed working with glaze combinations to enhance my knowledge on the science behind the art. 

The collaboration of chemicals and oxides needed to create such amazing colourful outcomes is really complex and needs to be tested regularly for research into new colours alongside durability and health and safety.

This demonstrated to me there are so many different ways to create colours and technologies other than just using the standardised RGB & CMYK.

I travelled to Melbourne-Australia in March 2012 and found my self inspired by the incredible city.

The structures are all so modernised and to such a large scale compared to London which still has its 'old town' characteristics.

Tiles Wine Bar and Restaurant based in Victoria was due to have a refurbishment, I was asked to help plan and decorate the new style of the restaurant in hope to attract more customers over the christmas period.

This project was based on deciding which colour to paint it and how the layout swell as the furniture could be altered to draw in more consumers.

This project was fun as I had never been involved in a decorating process before.

Another area I would like to develop this year is my photography skills.

I believe experimenting with light and composition as a key element of design.

Being able to capture my designs through photography is another great way to experiment with structure through collage and adobe experimentation.

I am really interested in Graphic Communications as a Top up course, I believe communicating with clients through presentations and design is key to selling a client a visualisation.

I really hope to pursue my work into this field and develop my skills on a rounded basis to ensure I have an understanding in Graphic and Spatial design.
