++myfirstblog...last trimesters project

++The project I chose as my favourite was the third project of the 101 drawing paper. The majority of the mark for this project was on a series of watercolour paintings. The paintings were based on pixelating our precedent image in black & white, colour, and then we were asked to map the colour pixel onto a form which we had to create in perspective. We also had to do three timed perspective sketches (30 secound, 3 minute and 10 minute) and a poster on our views about our assigned artist or designer. I was given work from Craig Castello, more commonly known as KR, who is an American graffiti artist and also the owner/establisher of Krink, a graffiti styled felt marker.

++I embraced his views shown in his work as I liked how he displayed chaos and disorder within his surroundings of the planned and organised San Francisco streets. With this inspiration from my precedent I have began to find my own style and things that interest me as a designer. Such things as more worn and tired surfaces I find more interesting over something that is smooth, polished and manufactured. Also I've found I like to show more data then less as it creates more depth and interest in a project or piece of work. This has helped me develop quite a messy, loose and abstracted style to my drawing and views towards design.
