Psycogyography

Speaking to other classmates, I keep hearing that they're don't think they're learning much but everyday I'm hearing new terms and language. Psychogeography is how a certain place makes you think and feel and annabeth wanted us to apply this to our city brief. Coming from Manchester, and walking around the city I get the feeling of fear and anger. I'm not entirely sure why, but I do think that the city's feel has changed over the past recent years. I personally don't feel afraid, but it's just an atmosphere I sense when walking around the city.

This guy wasn't too happy with me taking his picture while he was eating 



 We were asked to go out and draw things around media city that interested us, for me media city doesn't offer the right stimulation for drawing with it mostly being buildings and the last time I drew here I didn't enjoy myself. So I decided to be a bit more picky with what I was drawing looking for things that were out of place, as well as peeking into people's cars to see what they kept on their dashboards. I came across this clown hat behind a bike stand, and the image of a clown riding his unicycle but going too fast so his hat got blown away was the first image that came to my mind











 I continued walking around but nothing of much interested me and when I met up poli and Indya after we all decided that is was best to go for a lunch break. When we came back to class we were told to create a map of the things we had seen or just a random map all together.

Pendulum - Stop mo

First off I have to start by staying this was definitely the most painful day I've experienced. The unforgiving nature of stop motion angers me to a level I can't understand. I will learn to love this as I can see the benefits and skills it teaches, a real life practical application of timing and spacing. Joe and Johnny always say don't start an animation without planning so I've been strictly abiding by those rules, which tends to mean I spend a good amount of time planning before I even enter the stop motion room.  This being my second pendulum animation, I decided it would be best this time to have an actual video reference which was a crude video of a pen swinging from some headphones, I was in a public space so it was a bit embarrassing to record. From the video what I learned was how the pendulum comes to a stop, the swings a short obviously but they are incredibly slow, and moving in other directions rather than just left to right.  I did a bar she

Using indesign

Another program I'm going to haven't to get to grips using. I don't know why most of the features are so different to Photoshop where I'm sure it would be easy enough to do the same thing. But alas we have been told to learn this program. Johnny showed me a way to get the master pages numbered, but for some reason it wasn't working for me. I guess i must of done something wrong but i couldn't figure it out even after an extreme google search. So i did the next best thing and asked Kira how to do it and she showed me a different method but it work fine and i think it was easier to remember.  so her method was to use the rectangular frame tool  then use the text tool inside that frame right click and place a special character in for the current page number. It did exactly what johnny had showed me.  these are some inspirational magazine articles i found that i would like my final design to look like.

Perspective 1

Honestly I cant understand how I've become so bad at perspective. Maybe it's I used to do from a full technical way and I never really did it free hand. But even still I'm shock how hard i found it and it looks so shit I think it's kind of good in a way. Finding my weakness and strengthening them will only help me as an artist. Need to do further research either by ready books or watching YouTube videos and practice, practice and more practice. I hated doing the floor plan. Working out the measurements and scale did my head in. I'm pretty good at this, better than perspective anyway but I know 100% this isn't what I want to do.
