Electric Sheep ?

Well our next assignment is a book report..and the title we got..

Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep ?

yea..exactly!..it's mindblowing-ly confusing!

kinder ok after you mind map it out but it's still confusing..:/

Well this is what i managed to gather from it..Thank God for boring films that connect to the book..gah!..

well newayz..this is what i think it's about ;

It's about this guy named Rick  Deckard , who is a bounty hunter and apparently this takes place in 1992 several years after "world war terminus" destroyed much of earth. People were required to emigrate to off-world colonies to preserve the human race. (Mars). The incentive was that each emigrant will receive a custom built android servant. All animals are endangered btw. Owing and caring for an animal is considered a civic virtue and a status symbol . So people who can afford an animal choose to buy an artificial one, robotic animal to mantain social standing. 

So, Androids werent allowed back on earth, but they somehow managed to flee to escape the isolation and to be free of slavery to humans. And that is were Mr.Rick Deckard comes into the picture. He is required to "retire" these androids and bring peace upon the earth.

So yea thats basically that..imagine reading atleast 600 pages of it online!...gahh!..

but that basically summarizes it..:)

Shake it , Shake it!

So right!..for our next assignment we had to develop a brand image using a combination of type and letterforms derived from visual research. The brand will then be applied to graphics or an installation for an exhibition featuring a range of Lost formats or technologies. The exhibition will be promoted through a website..

In my case i researched on the Land 1000 Polaroid Camera

So i needed a exhibition display panel  , and a website with a logo..and this is whut i came up with..


Development work

FINAL WORK!

My Logo

It is basically inspired by the way most people shake a polaroid picture, thinkin it would dry it faster , but proven fact , it does not help..so dont do it..:)

Identity panel

Exhibition Display panel.

Invitations

This was my website , where all the polaroids were on a notice board..

and you have to pick one up and shake it to reveal the image..

 i thought it sat well with my logo..;)

And then the image appears followed with a line of text , 

Was well satisfied with the reviews i got from it..:)..so i'm one happy child.

These are photo's from today's Review..:)

Zine Blog

Heyy!..i've just completed another major project!..Ze Zine!..

Preach It Honey!

A zine is most commonly a small circulation publication of original or appropriated texts and images. More broadly, the term encompasses any self-published work of minority interest usually reproduced via photocopier.

In Every Frame

Second Brief ; In Every Frame ; we were required to create 10 different  photographs , on the theme of surveillance and showing consideration of sequence and art direction as a way of conveying narrative, character and atmosphere.

When Red Meets Grey..:)

Beauty

We were required to take pictures according to our topic.

Beauty!

The Zine!

Well for our next brief, we are suppose to create a Zine!..for those of U who don't know what a Zine is,it's pronounced

'zeen' like maga 'zine'.

A  zine is a self-published magazine. Zines can be about anything. Your life thus far, your art, your favorite artist, your collection of poetry, short stories, a personal incident, how-to projects, your travels, the birth of your kids, your favorite shoes, the history of coin collecting, clouds,  your favorite cookie recipes, your rock collection, anything.

 There are so many great artists  and writers out there.

Basically, if  you have something to say, you can say it in a zine.

If you have something to share,  you can share it in the form of a zine.

Sooo..apparently..this is how you start.

tO CrEaTe a ZiNe YOu nEEd tO...

A few suggestions

1.Think of a theme or set of themes.

Be organized.

2.Respect copy written art and material.

come up with original art and projects. This is a great opportunity for you to challenge your creativity.

3.If creating an art zine, you might want to include a little something in your zine....

for example....beads, fabrics or ephemera.

4.Print and assemble enough zines to sell

....or exchange with other artists, or send to your family and friends.

5.Always include your name, (c) copyright year and contact information in the zine. 

6.Come up with a title.

The title can come before or after you have created the zine. 

Think of a title that reflects you and your zine.

7.Use what you have.

Think about how you can construct the zine? What computer program do you have? Will you be typing or hand writing your content. Will you create the zine in a cut and paste style or will you create all the pages on the computer?

Gah!!!..Lotsaaaaaa work!.
