Project 3, Term 1, Image Project

Project: Image

Duration: 1 Week

Brief:

• Day 1 - Meet on the steps of the Imperial War Museum at 12:00 Monday 25th October. You are required to make drawings of objects that you find in the exhibitions. The drawings should be made at 'close waters' and must include typographic elements within them.
• Day 2 - Meet Greg in the foyer of the science museum on exhibition road at 10:30 Tuesday 26th October. Yu are required to make drawings of objects that have potential and or/kinetic energy.
• Day 3 - Using your drawings as reference spend the rest of the week designing ad making a souvenir/object/product for each museum to be sold in their shops.

Process:

From my drawings i made brainstorms for both of the museums, of ideas of products that i could make.

For the Imperial War Museum this inclu

ded; booklet of all the posters, birthday cards/get well cards using war time sayings, fabric badges, metal badges, belt buckles, bags, purses, famous sayings on key rings.

For the Science Museum this was; mechanisms, neon lighting, pop-up book, playing cards, engine style pencil pot, a plane's propeller turned into a stationary holder.

From these i drew and designed some of the products that i thought would be more suitable.

The ideas i created for the Imperial War Museum was a old packaging 'Weetabix' belt buckle and a fabric badge.For the Science Museum i created a engine pen and pencil holder and a propeller stationary holder.

These are my mock ups:

Evaluation:

Overall i thought that out of the four products the propeller and the fabric badge were the best ideas, as they could be developed further. However i think that these products would be much better if i had more time to develop them and maybe create the mock-ups in clay, as i would have been able to model them better.

Feedback:

From my crit, i was given feedback that i should photocopy my original drawings and create these into badges.
