Visual communication- week 3- all is well. The area suits me and my ways of working. The pace is quick but not too quick for one to get overly stressed. The briefs have been clear and the tutors have been giving us a  lot of help with the development of our work. Week 1 was more of a reflective week as we furthered our "30 things to do" project and narrowed it down to one idea. These illustrations bellow of the chickens were part of an animation for " before and after" - the ending being, as one can guess, the sacrifice of the chicken. I enjoyed this project  however fashion and textiles were words that still resonated in my mind.
Week 3 I feel more comfortable in the area as I have realised how the fast pace of this course suits my way of working. I feel guided and looked after ; this reassures me.
The project for week 3 has been "lists".I chose the "10 things i have lost"and made a visual narrative of a teddy bear loosing his innocence/dignity. The teddy bear idea emanated from the idea of finding a motif that would feature in all of the 10 boxes portraying a child. I wanted to illustrate the forgotten tale of growing up and making mistakes; the ugly side of life. We learnt the importance of a visual hierarchy in our display; which allows the message to be properly conveyed. I made an attempt with this in my final piece.
