WILLIAM EGGLESTON at National Portrait

William Eggleston has been my favourite photographer since I had discovered him a few years ago. The 1960's and 1970's are my favourite eras because I love the music, style, cars and intrigued on occurrences of the eras.

I went to visit his exhibition at the National Portrait and I left content because there is always a more stimulating feeling seeing the work of someone that inspires you, in person. I prefer print over digital definitely. Some of the photos I saw were my personal favourite that I didn't have much background information on but found out the history of the photo there.

Photos are not allowed but I managed to snap up a few photos.

LOGO

This project went on for three weeks. I enjoyed it because it definitely taught the importance of catering to a client with precision, creativity, and versatility to their desired audience.

I was given the word BLOG.



Here is my first attempt of thirty odd logos that represent the word Blog.

Then we had the newspaper project where we were to expand and create a logo bigger than us to represent our given word. We had a first failed attempt but then picked up the idea of creating a big keyboard.

 



Then I expanded and enhanced a few of the logos from my original 30.

 

I also wrote an ethos, which I then shortened to put together with my final logo idea.



"Blog. The importance of trial and error also becomes your very own database of experimenting and contextual research. A reflection tool to see how far you've come with an idea... for your peers and lecturers to see this also."

GO THERE/ EXCITE US. GET TO KNOW

This was the first project set for my group of the week and I. We were given a street and were to go, explore, document in any way about the street to bring back and teach the rest of the group.

My group had Belgrave Road.

Belgrave Road was developed by Thomas Cubitt (1788 - 1855) in the 1840's.

The road is full of terraced houses converted into hotels. My group and I wanted to have a comical approach to the way we work and present the road.

We played a prank to the public by mass printing 'FOR SALE' signs onto cars with a phone number. We did this to 60 odd cars and documented it as quick as we can. We don't know what remains but we did have two people call the number... We weren't brave enough to face the phone call.
