In our first communication prac studio we discussed about "food recipe" that is purly based on our creativity and imagination. Not only thinking about our recipe but by physically approaching the idea with a3 papers we made rough ideas of our recipe book. My rough idea was about thinking cap! By wearing my design cap i can think beyond about design! The lecture was about "food and design".

I forgot to take a photo of making process, but this is my result. I have gone back to the old time (eventhough im only like 20) when I was highschooler holding a huge a3 visual diary on my right hand going to my vce art class. This concept was obviously inspired by my interviewee my art teacher miss Wapling. She helped to walk the path that Im taking right now. What reminds her and best relfects her career would have been visual diary where her career as an art teacher shines and illuminate. My original idea was to put book marks instead of just paper but i wanted to bring out more visual diary feeling. I have never made handmade books so it was very exciting experience. I have used coptic stitch to join my papers to one piece. When I finished it and opened it, it was very easy to examin and see tge questions. I putt all 10 questions because i felt it was neccessary, her answers were passionate and well shows herself as an art teacher who loves her career. What I want to improve with my presentation will be “time” I had same time that was given to other student as well but i haven’t used it very effectivly.

Photos from week 10.

WEEK TEN: On this week we started off with Hungarian painter and photographer called Laszlo Moholy-nagy with his design to photography and design combination. Here I could see that people are starting put more weight onto pictures and photographies than words. First it was history of typing instruments: monotype-type caster, linotype, typesetting, lasercomp monophoto 400, cg 7500 compugraphic, 8400 compugraphic, and macintosh classic. Also how these new and changing tools have changes the designs from plain worded books to harmonious photography and typography. The history changed to putting more importance on picture because it obviously catches more attention than book does. I could examin this further through the magazine called "The Face".

WEEK NINE: We further explore into history of desogn through the subtitle "back to the future". First thing it was mentioned on ppt was Bauhaus the German art art school operational from 1919 where they initiated with art than further approached into design. Thet developed graphic, architect, interior and all sorts of design area. Even for myself I know stationaries which are German brands are uncompetitable with any other stationaries around the world. Their designs are famous in any area. Their industrial works are made with perfection and a myriad of different trials in unique design. Then we moved to Jan Tschichold, I could see the history of publication design and typography approaches with he or her work.

WEEKEIGHT: This week we were asked to go out of the lecture room to discover letter forms from archtectural buildings and equipments. Not only from our normal perspectives I was challanged to see the world in 1800 degree to find letter forms. So by some people it could looks like a random part of the building but by turning it around it was made into a letter. By going outside I wasn't caught by my own decision but other part where we were meant to explore and find new design ideas.

WEEKSEVEN(A): This time as a seperate group we were given differet shape and colour papers (square, half circle, quater circle) with these our task was to create 26 alphabet. First we thought in many different ways and came up with rather abstract and straight forward alphabets. Our result was made up with combined each shapes. Whereas other group utilised only one shape through their work and i thought the consistency was beautiful.

WEEKFIVE: As a seperate group we made a phrase containing all 26 alphabets; such as "the quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog". Our group first explored with given material (wires)...Everyone thought it will be a most hardest material out of other mediums. But it turned out our group was the first one to finish it. We exhibited our work on black surface where the sunlight comes in and with rest of materials we made little animals to decorate. It was very creative and flexible activity. The second task was to creat that phrase with water and a brush on outside surfaces. We first found out that the water dried really fast so we were faces with challenge how to maintain the wet surface and we explimented onto rock, wood and ciment surfaces and later we chose to utilise somewhere shady and concrete.

When I saw our material (wires) all of us thought it will be hard to fabricate a phrase (the quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog) but we were the quickest to finish the phrase!!! It was really interesting activity...I like the idea of the black background and the lightsource!

Making process!!+! I had too much bubble gum and my mouth so sweet. But it was fun and so creative i havent played and explored with materials for 2 years!!!

W E E K  T W O : Hello, my question is…

Is design crucial in life? Many people would wonder, what if there is no design at all in life? There won’t be designs on the streets and wherever you go. The world would just be… plain. I have thought of using food as my design because I love food and that food has more colour to it. It could make words look more interesting with the attractive colours. Even though some of the food were quite hard to manage because of the size and amount of the food, it was fun making this question.
