Stop Motion Animation 2

-

Following on from the Stop Motion Animation seminar I wanted to create more of my own work using the suggested app. The theme I decided on was space, inspired by the final After Effects workshop for Process and Production. I created a little rocket and a starry background and started taking photos. The first animation below is more of a trial run, making sure that things looked how I wanted and I was moving the individual elements at the correct speed. I then created the second animation below, adding in extra elements like the planet, making the animation more complete.

Responding to Sound

-

In a seminar we were asked to pick a song and draw a response to it. My chosen song was Guns N’ Roses Welcome to the Jungle, I wanted to create an image of jungle chaos; the type of place the wacky lead singer Axl Rose would thrive in. Looking at the lyrics, the following lines stood out for the jungle design: “Welcome to the jungle, we got fun and games”; “Welcome to the jungle, we take it day by day”; “You can taste the bright lights, but you won’t get here for free” and “Welcome to the jungle, it gets worse here every day”. I wanted to create a chaotic, rock and role jungle scene with lightening, fire, broken glass and just a sense of unruliness. The stereotypical rock and roll lifestyle of rule breaking, I wanted to harness this with a loose and messy pen drawing, the kind of art where if you make a mistake you have no way of removing, only working around it to make it fit again. I am quite pleased with the way the drawing ended up and the process of making it was enjoyable, I ...

Josef Albers and Bauhaus Font

-
Image
               The Bauhaus movement created a variety of simplistic and modern fonts, with a lack of extravagance. Josef Albers believed it could be stripped back even more and that a typeface could be created from only 10 stencil components. This was a purely lower-case font as a lot of the Bauhaus fonts were.   I was given the 10 components and tried to create a typeface from them. This was then compared to Albers’ actual font, there are some similarities with letters with the I, N, O and X being the same and the E, H, K, P, Q and Y being a pretty close match. However, a lot of letters are drastically different such as the A and G. My typeface created from Josef Albers 10 stencil components. https://www.moma.org/collection/works/2724?artist_id=97&locale=en&sov_referrer=artist

Laura Oldfied Ford

Laura Oldfield Ford was born in Halifax and is very interested in the Punk subculture and counter culture. Ford is an activist with a voice to be heard. She went to the site of the London 2012 Olympics to document the buildings that had to be vacated for the 2012 Olympic Park. She created beautifully detailed pen drawings of the buildings; some of the drawings then had pink or yellow ink painted over sections of the illustration. The choice of colours was carefully made as pink and yellow are the two main colours in the London 2012 Olympic logo. https://www.versobooks.com/blogs/3050-always-yearning-for-the-time-that-just-eluded-us https://redandblackrainbows.wordpress.com/tag/laura-oldfield-ford/ https://kottke.org/12/07/the-naughty-2012-olympics-logo While Napoleon was in power he enlisted Haussmann to redesign Paris for him. Napoleon wanted a big open city with large boulevards (main streets) to make crowd control easier and the chance of rebellion dec...
