#finaloutcome

Honestly, I have had a blast making weekly posts tumblr, but the time has come to wrap this assignment up, and post probably my second last post!

I didn’t want to finish the tumblr without showcasing and talking about my Zine, (even though there will probably be some finishing touches and refinements between now and Friday).

Below is my 8 page zine, with 6 double page spreads and a front and back cover. I have come a long way since I started the zine, even though I am still not 100% convinced it’s my best work, there are elements I really like, like the notebook back-cover from Microsoft bob help messages and some of the illustrations. 

Adding small hints to the origins of comic sans, to allude to its success in fulfilling those criteria helped me add texture and more interest into the zine. The inclusion of ‘extra information’ boxes has also helped the overall feel of a publication I think (I might need to add some more historical info into those).

BK Montage Video Final Export

For my final submission, I developed the image further because what I originally wanted was something that wasn’t still. So rather than trying to work on a video or a gif, I tried to turn my image into something that captures the aspect of moving in a still image. And while deciding the layout of my final submission I saw that the image turned portrait resembled my videos of dropping coffee into a glass of water. So this is my Final Refined Outcome:

SETUP FOR MARKING IN STUDIO

FINAL 2D OUTCOME - mixed media collage with acrylics on canvas and varnished.

I wanted to create an 'immersive space' within a painting. Again continuing the idea of the body being a precious material, repetitive prints to create a variety of marks - mark making and experimentation helped me to convey the idea of randomness and chaos through the layering of various elements in the design. Using solid and transparent circles as a main focus of the piece to emphasise this idea of me being a stranger 'trapped' in this unknown world (the way I have been with Visual Language, but looking at evolution and unpredictability through the eyes of a stranger for Process & Enquiry. As well as the face and body prints, looking at myself through a distorted lens, who am I? I wanted the piece to be explored, it is intentional that all these layers (taking it back to palimpsest) are hard to read, I wanted to convey the confusion that I felt as this stranger.
