1. what are your 3 initial ideas?
My first initial is a no entry road sign, i'd like to create this piece using spray painting. The no entry would be cut out as a stencil and then spray painted green the background of the circle will be white with the red circle outline. Inside the no entry i will write enter all around.
My second initial idea would be a thought bubble created in illustrator, the word why will be placed in the middle with why quotes surrounding inside the bubble.
My third initial idea is spray painting of i am not myself, i would use neon colours and inside the writing i'd write things that make people unique such as eye colour hair colour skin colour.
2. what are you planning to do to create them?
For 2 of my initial ideas i'm going to use handmade techniques, 1 using stencil and spray paint and the other just spray paint, my other initial idea would be done digitally using illustrator or Photoshop I will also do research into the ideas i have thought of, looking at other artists that do similar pieces for inspiration and also research relevant text and pictures that i can put together to create my piece so that it is unique and have made me own developments and researched the artists independently.
3. who have you researched to develop your ideas?
I've researched first and fifteenth and Marcelo Schultz to develop my ideas I've also gathered primary research and taken photos of graffiti in Camden and South bank i'm also going to research other artists that are more relevant and specific to my initial ideas rather than the above artists as they were just an overview of typography as a whole. I think when i research these other artists it will help me develop and change my ideas for the better so i can make improvements where i think necessary.
4. how have you explored a range of ideas around your theme within your experiments? what are they? how have they informed your ideas?
I have formed my initial ideas by returning to previous experiments and furthering the development on them, I've also done independent research and new experiments to see what techniques i like and what i would enjoy creating. I've also made mind maps of different techniques and saying and expressions to help chose the best that would go together. In my initial ideas i also had to think about what would hold me back from using this technique as certain problems could arise. To get an idea of the techniques i would be using and how comfortable and confident i would feel using them i found tutorials from artists of similar pieces and adapted them so it would fit with my piece.
5. have you refined/developed your ideas through experiments? how?
I've developed my ideas through experiments by using the tutorials i found to my advantage and changing relevant parts of the piece to suit my ability and what i think i would be confident in completing. Hopefully this will prove to my advantage as if i am more comfortable and confident it will reflect in my work. Also i think the practice and experiment would help with this as the practice and repetition will allow me to identify anything i will struggle with in creating my final piece.
6. have you annotated, in detail, your experiments and developments in your sketchbook/blog and used this information to help you improve?
I used my sketchbook more than my blog to document my experiments and developments annotating as i went along and doing several in depth analysis of other artists work that have inspired me in some way during my experiments. With some of the artists i research i tried to experiment with their techniques but changed them slightly to suit my ideas.
7. which idea has been most successful? why?
I think the spray painting has been the most successful because the research i did before hand inspired me more than the others did, but i didn't let that make my mind for me i continued with research and experiments and developments of the others to see if i would prefer the others. I think the inspiration of the artists definitely made me think about my initial ideas more.
8. which idea has been least successful? why?
I think my question why initial idea has been least successful as i don't think that it would have pushed my skills as much as i could and when trying to research artists it proved to be quite difficult. I think the idea would have been best done as an experiment rather than an actual initial idea.
9. which idea do you think you will choose for your final outcome? why?
I think the idea i will more than likely use for my final outcome will be the 'i am not myself' spray painting as i think this will best reflect my ability and skills and will show a better range of experiments, research and developments. I also think it would be easier to find relevant artists and look at their work and also be easier to create my own primary research and photos.
10. what else could you do to further develop this idea?
I could change the colour of spray paints i use to target at a certain audience, i could also change the scale on which i create the piece and the materials i use to spray paint onto. I could also experiment with different spray paint techniques and research different tutorials to help me in changing the way i use my spray paints to create patterns and effects.
