Ahh last day of the college week....
Also I refer to this now as arty morning! And Indeed this morning was no exception, using acetate sheets we etched out man in motion. Finally I can now say would you like to see my etchings' LOL!
I dont have any idea what I have really gained from this but apparently what I produced was good, so what did I do. Basically had photographs on a sheet of a man walking down the stairs, taken from a book whose name escapes me but highlights the fascination with human movement and involves naked people walking, running, throwing and other various things with the photographs being taken at all the stages of said movement. Using different tools I etched out the form in a negative or positive aspect. (will upload photo's later after they have been scanned in)
Then ink was dragged across the acetate and then slowly removed, the idea is the ink stays in the 'etched' bit, you then wet some paper, blot it and place it over the acetate and put it through a huge press to make a print.
Anyhow all four of us (howie was absent) had a print made, this then lead to the usual discussion of what the hell is this for and how is it relevant to our course!!! Wont go into what was said but never the less we viewed other online course content to see if we were on the right one! And a discussion with one of the 2 second year students didn't really help.......
PM
We looked at the layouts and target audience of various website, today at college was 'cultural diversity day' so along this theme we were instructed to find a cultural website and how it appealed to this target market. I pulled up some website on Christianity and Wicca , the first being a slick blog style layout appealing to no one in particular, whilst the second was a garish amateurish layout that didn't really flow or had continuity. Both had all the information needed just different was of putting it across, oh how I would like to redesign the Wicca one to tone it down in glare and make it flow and be more organic. (and all this was filmed as well bit unnerving LOL)
After group discussion about other websites we went on to work on the assignments that are due in
