For this next project I am making a broadsheet giving information on 'tools of the trade', the trade I'm looking at being 'Musician'.<br />
For this I want to look at Marching Bands and Brass Bands, as I like the way they are very regimented.<br />
I found this clip on YouTube and thought it was absolutely amazing how they all kept in time with one another.Gemma Armstronghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08221216936061853403noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9208172099312294047.post-50828783409717717182011-11-23T15:37:00.000-08:002011-11-23T15:37:15.507-08:00Final page for Grammar and Punctuation Project<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhLCHKc2USRpt-dzbO1ITSlWpWf94lepOY5mpGuwqE6U7W_GzW1X3Eiz3LkY07IH417oIMqQ33lm9jBHCLROy8bpf9uVuvoaiuKly3NXrE00mqx3QtC2rq0GJ8S5DHYhZIGBkDldV2j9hdO/s1600/Gemma+Armstrong.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left:1em; margin-right:1em"><img border="0" height="283" width="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhLCHKc2USRpt-dzbO1ITSlWpWf94lepOY5mpGuwqE6U7W_GzW1X3Eiz3LkY07IH417oIMqQ33lm9jBHCLROy8bpf9uVuvoaiuKly3NXrE00mqx3QtC2rq0GJ8S5DHYhZIGBkDldV2j9hdO/s400/Gemma+Armstrong.jpg" /></a></div>This is my final page for the book.<br />
I'm pretty pleased with it as in the past I've struggled with time management and as this was a very short project I was a bit worried at the beginning, however, I finished this in plenty of time and feel that I've done a good job.Gemma Armstronghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08221216936061853403noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9208172099312294047.post-56438709311319659892011-11-23T15:25:00.000-08:002011-11-23T15:25:29.666-08:00Grammar and Punctuation Project<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgXjeVoBNswomEyfoyEER7sOIdv5j8_GAJULu7iO-e7PFKTfe1liT84zgCCkBCKxY8dqUdcgG8gGWsIRrnqlAVrSLBq4KwPWCun7X-B9bg6zhOCgs9ksUQpc6DEYpx2NbXkvOUTA3JZHFjT/s1600/Blog.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear:left; float:left;margin-right:1em; margin-bottom:1em"><img border="0" height="320" width="226" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgXjeVoBNswomEyfoyEER7sOIdv5j8_GAJULu7iO-e7PFKTfe1liT84zgCCkBCKxY8dqUdcgG8gGWsIRrnqlAVrSLBq4KwPWCun7X-B9bg6zhOCgs9ksUQpc6DEYpx2NbXkvOUTA3JZHFjT/s320/Blog.jpg" /></a></div>This is a quick run through of a short project I’ve already done this year.<br />
The brief was to create a page for a book on the rules of punctuation. I was given the layout of the page and a punctuation mark and I had to come up with the imagery for the page and then use found text for the ‘function’ and ‘examples’ of the punctuation mark.<br />
I was given ‘long dash’ (also known as em-dash). I used the idea of the em-dash being shown as an ‘m’ made out of em-dashes. I then developed the idea by thinking about the function of the em-dash, which is to add extra detail to a sentence, and thought about how I could incorporate this into my design. I used torn up newspaper to make my ‘m’ out of em-dashes, the newspaper and its text giving it the extra detail. I liked this and put it into Photoshop to tweak any mistakes.<br />
I felt it needed something else though, so I used another earlier experiment as a sort of background. I faded it and duplicated it using Photoshop to get it right.Gemma Armstronghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08221216936061853403noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9208172099312294047.post-62015041786091942042011-11-23T15:03:00.000-08:002011-11-23T15:40:15.738-08:00Starting at the beginning...I have to admit I’m not very good at this blogging malarkey. I prefer to stick my research and interesting stuff I find in a journal. I like to be able to flick through the pages rather than look at a screen, however, I feel after a year of having nothing on it, my blog page deserves a chance so here goes…<br />
<br />
Last year, as a first year degree student, I feel I learnt so much and really started to get to know who I am as a person and as a Graphic Designer. From the projects I did, I found I really enjoyed printmaking and book making and binding. I also learnt a lot of new techniques on Photoshop, as I hadn’t used it very much before, and was able to apply all these new things to my work.<br />
<br />
This year, as a second year student, I really want to put everything I learnt last year into practice and maybe start specialising in the areas I’m good at. More than anything I want to experiment with everything and anything. I want to find and use new materials to work with and really get myself involved in what I’m doing.Gemma Armstronghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08221216936061853403noreply@blogger.com0
