Well so far my Term 1 project is moving slowly, but it's progressing pretty well. I did some sketches before Tuesday and showed it to the class. Sadly, this blog is NOT LETTING ME POST ANY IMAGES so I can't really show the images I've done, but when I can, I'll show you some of my work.
On Friday, we showed our PDF presentations to the class. I was kind of worried that we had to display our work to the entire class but we only showed a few people so it was kind of a big relief to me. Anyway, I was given a few things to improve and I was even given an artist who may help me with my PDF design. His name is Mike Perry and his work is pretty sweet. Check out his website if you're interested in print screening and illustrations.

So ya, now I need to give my work a lot of tuning up before I give it in on December.

Friday 19 Nov Group Session
Well we first told what to do on that day and we got into our designated groups. Our assignment was about our format for the GDF project. We were to design a prototype of the format, which uses the 3 variables our group have been working with. A list of different formats was given to us and we were to choose 5 formats that are appropriate to our variables.
So the first thing my group did was deciding what format would we all be able to work with. After circling all the formats we liked, we then narrow it down to 5 formats. The formats we chose were Event, Banner, Guerrilla Campaign, Short Movie (AD) and Poster. Next we began listing down some ideas for each format. The outcome for this session was to have two lists for each format, one that is cliché and another that is completely crazy or exaggerated. For a while our group had a bit of confusion on what our tutors meant about the format being crazy. The problem was that our group thought that the ideas we came up with was unrealistic, but what they did not understand was that, being unrealistic, was the entire point of the format being crazy. After that little problem was taken care of we realised that time was of the essance, so we splitted ourselves into smaller groups and separated the work. Bart and I were in charge of the guerrilla campaign format. So of course Bart had an idea already and straight away we wrote down what our idea was, but then we were told to draw out the ideas so it was my time to shine. What Bart and I did for the crazy idea was that we would fill a bus stop full of trash and there would be a message written on where the ads go on a bus stop and this message would change each day. We left out the idea of a cliché guerrilla campaign because, as Bart said, there is no such thing as one, but we had to make two posters so we had to come up with another one. That’s when I came up with the idea of a ‘graffiti forest’ where every graffiti artist in the inner city would draw trees and anything else nature like on everything in the city from walls to the outer shell of the cars.
My group actually finished the formats early than expected which was a big win for us. We then looked at what other groups came up with and I was quite amazed at what they came up. Then when it came to our group, we were given some good comments about our work.

Actually done in 1 day. O_O

Fridays Session
We began our first big assignment on Fad. We were to get into our groups based on our timetables. Ridiculously, we were to choose our three main points, which are client, audience and message, and the only way to do that is to role a dice and let fate decide for us. Sadly, once our points have been chosen, we are to stay with that decision and nothing else. Obviously we got the most boring topic of all:
Client: Global Corporation
Message: Become Greener
Audience: Inner City 15-20 year olds
Boring I know. After that, we were then taught about the 6 thinking men:
WHAT WHEN HOW WHO WHERE & WHY
So the first thing we did was writing up some questions about our brief using the 6 thinking men. Made a few large posters for each point and hang them on the wall.
Then after lunch we began our research on our brief by looking closer at our brief and answering the questions we made.
Then we finished early. That's about it...truthfully my mind is just not at that state where I feel like writhing a blog so sorry....
