Lino Print Experimental





Yesterday, i started experimenting with my scanned in lino prints. I've started experimenting with different fonts/colour for the typography (New York City) on the poster designs, i'll need to add city to the further experimental posters. I'll eventually then choose the poster design i like the most and use that as a final outcome for my Metropolis project.

These are lino prints that i started Wednesday last week for my final outcome.

More photography Experimental




This image is another example of my experimental work in this project. I took part of one of my circuit board images and placed it onto a photo i took of the Oxford City centre high street. I edited the background to make the sky a darker blue colour so the rest of the scenery stands out more.

Frans Masereel









These are examples from a woodcut artist called Frans Masereel, most of these images are featured in a book that i used for research called City: A Vision In Woodcuts by Thomas Mann which shows alot of examples from Frans Masereel. I like this artist because of how amazingly detailed his woodcuts are aswell as interesting, depicting different themes and influences within his work

Santiago Calatrava










These are visual examples of some of the buildings that the architect, Santiago Calatrava designed. I chose to include this architect out of the two other architects i researched because I think Calatrava's designs really stand out from other buildings and i like the amazing complex detail incorporated on the buildings.

Experimental Oxford Photography...








These photos are more examples from the photos i took in Oxford. I adjusted the brightness/contrast aswell as the hue/saturation of the photos so i can think about incorporating them into my experimental work on my Oxford photos

Metropolis Idea

For my Metropolis project, i have decided my pathway is Graphic Design and the title for my brief will be Advertising New York. For my outcome i came up with the idea of designing a poster in the style of tourist attraction for New York, i was possibly thinking about having one done graphically on Photoshop and a second design that will be painted but i'm going to see how things go..

Guide to New York video





I added this video to the blog, which like the image of New York underneath, can relate to my Metropolis project. It is fairly long but useful video of a narrated guide of New York City. It is also useful as it shows certain main tourist attractions in New York City which i could research into for my project.

New York



This is an image i might use for research/referencing to when starting my Metropolis project. I like the style of the writing above the city, which reminds me of Art Deco and the fact that it shows the New York skyline at night, i think it makes the city stand out more, especially the World Trade Center in this image which i won't use in my final outcome as they ain't part of the skyline anymore.

Moleskin Sketch





This is a sketch i did earlier in my moleskin from an image of the New York skyline i had. I outlined the buildings and filled in the shadowed areas with fineliner to make it stand out.

New York







This is an image i found on Google. It shows a great view of New York at night and from the angle it's been taken, looks really effective. I especially think the way that the colours from the city lights reflect in the water looks beautiful.

Lino Prints..








These are lino prints that i did from last weeks lesson. The top photo shows the lino i used to print, along with a print i did on coloured paper and the bottom on normal blank paper. I think the black ink worked best for my prints as it showed the outline of the buildings more clearly.
