I can't seem to leave this alone

So before I produce the projection of the image onto Marc's body I decided to dumb it down a bit to make it more typo, I am going to experiment with 3 images for projection. One with no outline, one with a 1pt stroke and one without many of the organs.

pre work

Before I forget I thought I should add this. I reduced the scale my pieces by about 17% from far left to right. I decided to use the chart layout this swellen chart used. I also incorporated other information from 2 other swellen charts I found.

Final

I am in love with this piece I think it turned out really well, I used a combination of eye ch
arts to conduct this one which turned out a lot better than I thought, I am going to print it out on Monday and check that it has all turned out alright.

1st draft

So this is my first attempt at it I think it looks okay but i am not fully satisfied with the outcome. I think that the black tab at the bottom really needs to go, and something is missing. Now one main thing I found a problem was how the stroke destroys some of your smaller images and makes them really distorted.

update

So with no other choice with my work, I had to re draw it on illustrator as a vector, which turned out pretty alright to ne fair. It turned out that I would have to use a gold background rather than black, which is fine by me, I think both look interesting, I chose black and gold as black is a strong colour and gold is very victorian clock style which is the kind of approach I was looking towards and best fitting my piece.

So from my design context I came up with this, I incorporated everything I wanted to at the start of the brief. I love the clock face and how the face is cracked, I think it makes it look really cool. However the spider is 3 colours with stock, which pretty much ruins the detail. I would of hapily used this hand drawing although when I stretched it on photoshop to the scale it would be on the chart, it turned out that it was far to distort and didn't look very nice what so ever.

Again boring, this took about 5 minutes but I want to change my word to facebook, and use a lot of blue objects to spell it out. maybe even a keyboard!!!!!!

semi final

I want to change this but I have to have 3 posters to show for the crit today, so I had to show something. I plan to incorporate a better idea for this and really emphasise the word BIG!

Big numbers

All I can compose from this experimentation is it was a disaster, although there are some interesting Ideas that are incorporated within these jokes. I really liked using numbers to spell out numbers, but I couldn't quite make it look correct.

I placed all of these on his body and documented it, I am going to try projecting the image on his body next to make it in better context

final

So In the end I had a big problem with designing type for image. But I overcame this problem by printing off seperate images and putting them on marc. Then drawing these images on with pen, however due to marc's hairy chest and stomach, the type cane out rather wrong, So I incorporated my previous selections in type, and the other organs were already in context, I simply took them into photoshop put a filter on them and coloured them in, So after a bit of stress it paid off.

pen time

So this is when I drew on marc... It was an interesting concept and started to go well until i hit his hair.. his thick ginger hair. The pen couldn't quite handle it's intenstity. Although I am happy I carried out this experiment as I know for future reference to use a woman as they are not hairy. oh marc

...

I'm not fully confident with the colour appearence on here, But in all honesty once the piece is printed It would look a lot better than the other.. I hope

Colour scheme

With printing off in A1 I wanted to make sure that the colours I selected were in the phisical colour spectrum to cause no dissapointment when a shade of blue comes out as a bold grey. I used my swatch books and typed in the colour codes to the selected areas I wished to use. The majority of the colours seem to be within the Blue and pink shades. Alot of the colours look scary to me on here, as they are not what they look like in the book, although the reason for this is that I am looking at the digital colour spectrum... duh chris.

I was lucky I lost my spleen and appendix

I love this quote I instantly thought of using an image like a body showing the different organs, a little like this that I drew:

Although I couldn't use this as it is not in context and doesnt answer the brief.. so i didn't carry on to finish it.

Type as Image

We have been asked to select three quotes from the articles we didn't use for the previous brief and have been asked to create these quotes in an image (without using image) These images have to be legible and at least have some development on a typeface that is pre existing.

Again the readers of The Guardian are the audience. Depending on the articles a different audience is required although in all it would be aimed at people who read the Guardian (as the image is on the inside and is not promoting the actual newspaper)

They need to know the tone of where the quote was extracted i.e. something relative to the article (co relates) In all essence I believe that a huge factor in this briefs response is that the quote has been examined as to who said it, where it was wrote/ said and the environment it was set in/ spoke.

They need to know this as it is a key factor in whether they read the article or whether they don't know one likes an article with a bad key image. It puts you off reading the whole article/ ruins it a bit. Hence why they need to know it.

The response element of the image depends on the article yet again, this varies from shock, argumentative and informative. Again it is very important not to cause any offense to the reader or any hint of the wrong tone of voice. Hopefully if designed correctly the reader will connect to the image by it linking in with the background of the article. Tells a story.

I believe a strong amount of background research is required on the quote and a good range of typefaces to refer to in development of my product. That amongst other elements is enough to refer to. Depending on the tone of the article will depend on what else I research.

My three quotes are:

'I wasn't so lucky I lost my spleen and appendix

From the starters section - I use to steal double-decker buses. as told to Jill Clark

This quote is on a serious tone and shocking in more than one way.

'Everyone you know is your friend on Facebook'

From the relationship maths section by Guy Browning

This quote to me is on a debatable level and is not to be taken very seriously.

'Big numbers'

From the mind and relations section by Oliver Burkeman

This article is one based on a bios opinion (his) that everyone is bad with big figures.

Feedback

The brief I chose has been answered in my opinion as it relates very well to the text and newspaper. The image shows an unclear solution to a problem which is the same as the article and also gives an unclear artistic opinion on things. i.e. the optimistic pestimistic point of view. In my opinion the image could be a lot more clear as it is perfect in the digital colour spectrum but in reality when printed it has far to much of a contrast in the physical colour spectrum. These were also the only issues raised, bar colour was suggested. I chose not to use colour as it would ruin the mysterious tone I intended on showing through the image.
