My plan was to make a fashion Illustration in photoshop which would be used in magazine instead of photos but I could not make any brushes which would have a watercolor effect ahhhhh how annoying!! I'm disappointed....well made this but not as cool as I wanted...will work n it more later...
"H" for Helvetica
Some people are crazy about Helvetica..I think that they should have a typographic system called Helveticalism :-D...

"P" for packaging Yumbers
I have decided to design packaging for retro sweets. I came up with several names but what it felt right to me to call them Yumbers.
Firstly I wanted to make packaging containing 9 boxes which would be stick together ( check the video) and rotate. After a prototype I found out its a bit complicated and not as great as I had in my mind....so I completely changed the idea and designed individual boxes with different flavours. So far I only made a prototype for strawberry flavour but soon going to make more...

"E" for EMBOSS
Another think I always wanted to do at LCC. It's so cool. I think adding a texture to designs is a good idea.
My classmates and I managed to organized a tutorial on embossing so now the techniques is much clearer to me. As for the project I asked 10 students what do they have in their pockets and these four objects were most common so I decided embossed them. Because these things were 3D object which would be really hard to put under the press I had to make a solar plate first. First I had to take a pic of my objects retouched them in photoshop and illustrator and then print them out on an acetate . After that exposed it on a solar plate for about 60 second. For the best result is recommended to leave the solar plate to dry out over night after exposing and a gentle wash.
Now I was ready for embossing! I put all objects in the book and embossed the title. For the title I laser cut the letters.

"B" Badge
I thought about badges for some time and when I was sitting in front of the mac the idea suddenly came to me. I'm planning to screen print the mac monitor with an empty dock on the bag and then pin individual badges on the dock. Another idea was to put it on the t-shirt but it might be a bit annoying to take it off with every washing.

Gabriel Dawe
Gabriel Dawe's large-scale thread installations are intricate web-like environments that are bold and delicate at the same time. The Plexus series of site-specific installations are a reflection of our need for shelter. Dawe explains the concept best, "Among numerous other reasons, we use clothing to protect ourselves from the elements. Similarly, one of the functions of architecture is to safeguard us from the inclemency of the weather. In taking the main component of clothing--sewing thread--and generating an architectural structure, scale and material are reversed to create a new construction that no longer shelters the material needs of the body, but instead creates something that is symbolic of the non-physical structures humanity needs to survive as a species."
ANNA PARKINA
Few of us went to Vyner street where first Thursday of each month is possible to visit galleries. There were only few pieces which caught my interest and among them was Anna Parkina who makes those beautiful collages.
