Studio Brief 01 - Leeds Public Spaces Brief

Studio Brief 01 - Leeds Public Spaces

The uses and (sometimes) abuses of public spaces do much to communicate the identity and character of cities. Across Leeds there is a huge list of events that take place within its public spaces that range from carnivals, concerts, markets, exhibitions, parades, sports events, protests, happenings, flash mobs, etc.

Your task is to research the various events and happenings that have occurred in Leeds and helped shape the city; then choose one that will become the focus for an A3 traditional print that celebrates this event. You can choose any event whether or not it was organised or impromptu but it must be celebratory.

Your A3 print must use only traditional print methods. The prints will be exhibited in the level 4/5 exhibition in May.

Background / Considerations

Think visually, explore both literal and lateral responses. Explore working with text and image, both combined and separately. Consider the various techniques and processes that are available to you and their suitability for conveying or re-enforcing the ideas that you are trying to communicate.

Mandatory Requirements

Analogue print on A3 stock.

Content must be suitable for public viewing and be celebratory in nature.

Deliverables

Final Print

5 x A3 design boards that provide a overview of your research, process and design decisions.

Documentation of your development via posting to your Studio Practice blog.

To commence this brief, I will first find relevant information that makes Leeds the city it is now. Especially through the events that the city Leeds has to offer, as Leeds is quite a diverse city it celebrates all kinds of cultures and events.

Here are a list of events that continuously run in Leeds:

Christmas Markets

Leeds Festival

Leeds international film festival

Leeds Indie Food Festival
Leeds International Beer Festival

and so on.

Once I have chosen a topic, I will then sketch my ideas out choose a design that appropriately represents the event that I wish to establish.

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.

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.)
