Final Project Progress

A quick visual summary of some of what I have been working on for the final project, in no real order.

Lots of it is visualisation stuff, that I have failed to provide any real explanation of. But the red lines and the dots are London, with art galleries mapped out onto it.

Macro Photography

Daniel Samson — Tue, 02 Mar 2010 00:13:12 +0000

After reading up on how to get hold of cheap lenses, I came across a very effective and cheap solution to buying a macro, reverse the lens you are using… simple as that. I held my 18-55mm lens the wrong way round and tried to take some photos. Some of them work, others not so much, but its a really beautiful way of creating images. I am ordering a mounting ring so I can mount it without holding it on. Most of these were taken at 18mm. Anyway, check them out and try it yourself.

Darren Image Making workshop

Daniel Samson — Mon, 01 Mar 2010 23:45:42 +0000

Today we took part in Darrens workshop on image making, we all took some photos and then combined them in a simple 3 colour digital collage. The point being to generate new ideas or to develop further into a final piece. This is so we can use all of the research images we collect.

The grass greener is from a letterpress poster done earlier in the year, the arrows were from darrens stuff, the elephant from the small elephant toy I own and took a photo of and the white shapes at the bottom are from an illustrator thing I was working on. Darren made a comparison to the ‘North by Northwest’ Saul Bass title sequence, looking now I can see the connection.

As part of Jo’s workshop we were to redesign the MTV logo, as the recent version was such a boring affair. So here is mine.
