DESIGN CONTEXT // 10 PIECES OF SOURCE MATERIAL OUGD401

10 PIECES OF SOURCE MATERIAL//PREP TASK:

CONTEXT OF PRACTICE:TASK FOUR//GRAPHIC DESIGNERS//OUGD401:

ONE: SPEED DATING//JEAN MOSAMBI

I chose this because this task, I found, really helpful discovering new designers, you got to look at peoples favourite designers and share and explore other peoples tastes, it made me discover a designer I really like:

JEAN  MOSAMBI:

I really like the design of these, there simple but I think they work well, love the look of the stock and the colours used.

TWO:LECTURE//ALFRED HITCHCOCK

I really enjoyed the lecture on Alfred Hitchcock, and his innovative and exciting film techniques, I also so studied him at A Level, so I know about his filming style and techniques, I also find some of the film posters visually appealing:

THREE: MANIFESTO TASK

I came across some interesting and inspiring manifesto's when doing the task.  I like how simple but effective they are, it can really make you think about your life, values, whats important, dreams, achievements and happiness.  I just like the general idea of them:

FOUR:MODERN AND POST-MODERN GRAPHIC DESIGN//OUGD401:

Post-modernist art, this piece by Jamie Ried, Ive looked at the whole culture of seventies punk before though and thats really interested me, could be a possible idea.

FIVE: FAVOURITE DESIGNERS//MARK WEAVER/SCREEN PRINTING PROCESS

When doing the task about your favourite graphic designers I chose Mark Weaver, I really like his work and am intrigued by the screen printing process, its something I really want to try/do.

SIX:STREET ART/GRAFFITI LECTURE

I found this topic quite interesting and I think it could be interesting to explore and take further:

SEVEN:CONTEXT OF PRACTICE:CRITICAL STUDIES IMAGE ANALYSIS//OUGD401

I quite enjoyed writing a small analysis on the selected sources, I like history so I found it quite interesting:

EIGHT:WHY IS A CRIT A GOOD LEARNING TOOL? D.I.E.T

I found this to be helpful in understanding why a crit is a useful learning tool, and the diet technique which shows an effective way of evaluating a piece of work.

D - Describing - What is It?

I - Interpreting - What is it about?

E - Evaluating - How good is it?

T - Theorising - Does it solve the problem

NINE:FIVE IMAGES OF VISUAL COMMUNICATION ACCESSIBLE TO THE PUBLIC DOMAIN

I think its interesting to look at the graphic design/visual communication in the public eye, graphic design is everywhere, this would be something to look into more as its so broad.

TEN:CONTEXT OF PRACTICE:TASK TWO//AESTHETICS//OUGD401

I really like looking at aesthetically pleasing things, I think its important to appreciate things for the aesthetic quality as well as the meaning.  I liked.  I liked listing aesthetic qualities in design that are most important to me, and setting 5 targets/experiences that will help enhance my aesthetic experience of the world around me.
