John's Workshop 5: Richard Hamilton

In this workshop, we had to create a similar, more modern piece that took inspiration from the above piece of art by Richard Hamilton. We had to create it with a more modern approach, combining different influential elements from the current time period. This would have examples such as Apple and Android phones which I have included in my interpretation. Another piece that I have also added to my art is that in the view for the window, there is a line of people that are walking across the horizon in a line with their shadows stretched out across the ground. This is to simulate when people line up to get the newest technology such as Apple computers or phones.

In the scan above, you can see the initial 2 sketches that I did for different ideas just so I had idea of what to do when I tried to draw it more fully. On the left in the middle is the drawn-out version using a charcoal pencil that added more detail to the image. Then next to it was the same image drawn with a fine liner and he coloured in with Kurecolor pens which gave a very vibrant look to the piece.

Here is my attempt at using Adobe Illustrator. As I normally use Photoshop because I am more used to it, for this piece I used illustrator because unlike Photoshop it uses Vector imaging where if you zoom in an out there is no pixilation in the image. However this is not complete as i found the instruments diffilcult to use. For an extended project, i could work on this more or use the Adobe Capture application to take a picture of what i have drawn out, which is then converted into a vector image.

The following images is an example of how the Adobe Capture app works.

John's Workshop 6: Location Drawing

 Above the is worksheet for what was done in the workshop on Thursday 19th Aprol 2018. After are the reference images that i used in the work following it. In Figure 1, the way the drawing has been done on a Dunkin' Donuts with drawing actually done of Dukin' Donuts is ingenious in itself. I started off a part of a low wall as it was simple and to ease myself into drawing then i after that i drew a tree that was by a church in the gothic quarter of Huddersfield town center as i had seen the reference imagery and i thought i would try and imitate the style or somthing akin to that (Figure 4). After that i descided that the tree was not exciting enough so then i started to draw people that seemed interesting to me, so for example a cyclist going by (Figure 7) and a Policeman writing a ticket (Figure 8).

After the session ended i decided to experiment with some of the drawings that i had had done. For example for one (Figure 16) i put it into Adobe Capture which is an app that converts a drawing into a vector image with additional options of smoothing lines, removing and adding parts of the image etc.

In figure 17 there is a digitised version of Figure 6 and Figure 18 is a coloured version.

Stephen Hibbert Workshop 6: Illustrator and Indesign Portfolio

Finding out the different tabs and arranging your workspace when using any program, especially any in the Adobe Suit, is vital as it can speed up the time that you work for, e.g. work that would take 4 hours may be cut in half therefore you will be more productive.

The following is a previous portfolio that I had done in a practice and the one after that is another that I had done in practice just for placment of images, therefore even though it is only 4 pages I have an idea for how to proceed.

John's Workshop 4 (With Christian Peterson): Exquisite Corpse

This was the introduction sheet that was given to use that outlined the aim of the workshop and how we could develop it further if we wished to.

This was on the back of the previous sheet and was an exercise that i started incorrectly however i like the way it turned out so far because it was a building in the shape of an 'i'. The reason why i did this incorrectly was because i was only supposed to do the top section of the paper (the top of the letter I) then fold along the dotted line and pass to the next person so we could see how distorted some of the letters would become and how interesting each of them would be.

At the end of the session we showcased what we had made as a group and commented as to which ones we liked the best.

This was a program showcased that is one of the best to use for creating type fonts that can then be publised to the web.

 Development/Experimentation/Future Project(?)

What next appears is what i have been experimenting with, writing out whole quotes, sometimes just words and at the very end is a lengthy paragraph (quote) that I intend to translate into runes. This project really facinated me and I have become really intested in runes and how these shapes can translate whole stories.
