My statement
At the beginning of this project *Story* I chose the quote *Life Happens, Coffee Helps* by Frank and Honest. I chose this because I have such a love for coffee.
With *life happens* I decided to look at my life, during the lockdown not much is going on. But thankfully I have skateboarding to do because it is covid safe.
I then went on and put together mind maps of my life and came up with many words. I stuck with skateboarding as it was my main activity during these times. I brought my camera to the skatepark for a few days and captured many photos of my friends doing tricks. With that I made a sculpture of Kieran doing a trick out of wire.
I then began to make thumbnails for *life happens, Coffee Helps* and came up with a few poster ideas. I also captured many photos of different fonts and looked at them closely. I made a moodbaord from my images, using gold to show how much I treasure coffee.
I researched a few artist and found designs that I liked and used them to influence my ideas and poster. I also collected many takeaway coffee cups and napkins to look at the different fonts and designs.
I then began drawing poster ideas and developed them further. I decided to use the pictures of my friend falling because it truely captured life happening. I then got photos of my coffee beans and made the background opaque so that u could see the fonts and photos. To finish it off I made pictures of coffee cups and edited them in with photoshop.
