ethnography: final outcome

For me, it was a big transition moving from the map(on research process) to this typographic grid as I kept relating every idea to the map and got stuck. It is organised from west to east however bearing no relation to north and south. The numbers represent the frequency of my visits to each places, followed by the name of the place and where from or to I visited there. This is only for print and additionally, I will tie up threds across the numbers, with its length representing the distance between places. It will probably be difficult knowing the exact distance, however, it should be possible to estimate and compare the distances of each travel. I used Apple Gothic as its typeface.

ethnography: research

I made a data log table on my 8 day travel pattern. I recorded where I traveled to, including my departure, the time and date, the time taken, the distance, and travel method. Because I wanted to know how actively I was travelling around London, distance became the key element when organising the data. Then of course it became apparent it will be easier to understand when the data is transferred into a map.

Two images above are the maps. Each places I have been to are marked red, the thickness of lines are directly proportional to the number of travels. It turns out I have this dramatic shape. I found it visually interesting but it was non-typographic nor in a grid system (which was what the brief was asking for).

T-shirt design competition

I entered a t-shirt design competition which was organised by Gwangju Summer Universiade 2015. It was to design an encouraging image for the event to be opened successfully that'd go on the front of the t shirt (30X30). I used watercolour paint for the splashing imagery for the sense of cool, energetic summer and made a typography out of those marks. Although I made it to the final, it wasn't the winning design. Nevertheless I am satisfied with this typographic imagery I created and a great experience.

type and image

this brief was set by Emily and Ruth as one of the pick n mixs in term two.

It was to choose a special feature about CSM and make 3 magazine spreads.

I chose the beauty of light as the subject linking it to the gate to the future.

I have got some good pictures of the building in southampton row. I personally love the atmosphere of the building and its sad its moving to kings cross although then we will have much more space.! It was done in adobe indesign. good to learn IT skills!

(gotta fix a little on design - remove grey marks on sides, reduce down the number of fonts, irrelevant photos)
