Study Task 04 - How Do You Read?

Study Task 04 - How Do You Read? - Figure/Ground

Following the lecture based on figure/ground, by using the magazine that we all brought in. We need to examine in groups with other magazines that other people have brought in, by observing how central the figure sits within the background. The 'figure' does not need to be a similar to a human figure, text and other features that are generally assumed to be the focal point will also constitute the 'figure' element.

During this Study Task, we need to pay particular attention to how that background is produced and the connotations that come from both the utilisation of space and the use of particular stocks. In groups we need to discuss that presents our observations which he design of different types of print magazines and the market that they relate to.

In these images below there are plenty of scape in the page to put more text in, the group mostly had women magazines. So there were more advertisements of products, clothing, jewellery etc.

OUGD603 | Extended Practice | Brief 03 | Development - Publication Layout design - Leah | BBC (Our Generation) - Life being British Born Chinese

Publication Layout - Leah For the inside of the 'Our Generation' publication, the collaborator Leah was in charge of this brief's outcome segment. The publication's layout was constructed with 'Adobe Indesign' Leah made guide lines and measurements to help assist where the Photographs and the text should be placed. Illustrations of a paint brush stroke was experimented to give the pages more characteristics. We mutually agreed to make the size of the publication A5 format, and the number of pages are 16. Previously it was going to be 17, however one participant was unable to provided us with their childhood photo for us. Due to this situation Leah had to be more selective with the photos and information (Quotes) that we believe was significant for outlining our briefs context.

Studio Brief 02 - Licence to Print Money | History of Money & Banknotes Research

Money History The word money comes from the Latin 'Moneta' - which is the first Roman coinage that was minted at the temple of Juno Moneta in 344BC. Before coinage, various objects such as cattle, pig's teeth and shells had been used as money. For most of its history money has taken the form of coins made of precious metal. The money has had intrinsic value. Many of the units of modern money recall their origin in amounts of precious metal (e.g the pound sterling was originally the Roman pound (twelves ounces) of silver.)

In 1642, a further warfare broke our with the English Civil War between the King and Parliament. London was the stronghol...

Systematic Colour (Part 1) - An Introduction to Colour Theory

The session started by identifying if the red on the apple was really the colour red? Then Danny took us to a red circle and told us to stare at it for a while, he then quickly changed to slides to a white background and we could see the red circle faintly. Why is this? Then he should us a paragraph and asked if we could read them? And we could even though the letters are placed different in a word, we are able to read them. As our brain is remembering and is visually reading it. Also if the paragraph or background is in a different colour, we may or may not be able to read it. Here is some science based on how our eyes can see colours and transfer the different colours to the brain. The eye contains two kinds of receptors: RODS - Convey shades of black, white and grey. CONES - Allow the brain to perceive colour. There are three types of cones: TYPE 1: is sensitive to red-orang...
