What a journey it has been. It was really awesome to see how we were able to continue our studies with this pandemic going on. I had quite a few ups and downs but I MADE IT! I feel as though I am able to get through anything after going through this tough time.
I enjoyed seeing the works of class mates and the ways in which they express their design.
Finally completing my Assessment “Ask me anything” for communication design. I am very pleased with myself and the outcome. There were a lot of areas that I had been struggling with when trying to get the best creative outcome. The feedback from both my teacher and students really allowed me to critique my work, as you can see I have chosen to go with a brochure design rather then a poster design, Bailey suggested this may be better as I was able to explore with graphics and wording and had access to more creativity. I did feel very restricted when doing a poster design, so this assisted me greatly.
The idea behind this was to represent the answers within the graphics, as we know psychedelic to be all about visuals. I Wanted the cover to be simple but effective, and to not take away the detail from the rest of the booklet, Using the pen tool on illustrator I created a smoke effect to represent the drug use within this movement. When asking people what psychedelic meant to them majority mentioned drugs, so my aim was to ask and answer questions that gave more of an insight to what it is. The culture, personality and nature of this movement is what I focused on.
It has been such a great experience developing such cool concepts and Ideas during this course, communication design has taught me a lot when it comes to communicating, through imagery and words and how powerful it can be.
Thanks Bailey you have been really awesome!!
