Here I had just designed a rough Mock-up of my zine as I just wanted to test print a few of my designs before placing them into my final Zine book.
Graphic Design- Sketchbook Experimental Work
These are a series of mixed media experimental studies of Typographic words, letters, numbers and symbols. In some experimental pieces I have incorporated several media’s including: watercolour, pen, marker, coloured paper, photocopies etc.
I’ve also included any digital work that I created on figma as well as other mixed media pieces. I’d decided to work with what materials I had and make good use out of them, which created nice collages inspired by my first hand images.
Graphic Design- Adobe Illustrator Experimental
Here I’ve created sixteen experimental pieces based on my chosen theme which is Belfast. I had combined my sketchbook typography pieces and my first hand images of the historical, architectural buildings and structures around Belfast. I had experimented with various tools and effects, by using Adobe Illustrator.
My next stage is to create a hand made zine booklet, which I will then print out these experimental pieces and combine them into this zine.
Graphic Design- Digital Experimentation
Here are a series of digital experimental designs using an app called figma. i’ve incorporated research of words that are associated with my chosen theme of Belfast. i’d researched about the historical architectural buildings and structures including: Titanic Quarter and the Harland & Wolff cranes, then used those words to create an image or abstract collages. With these designs i would like to experiment further by either printing them or cutting them up and to create other designs or images.
Graphic Design- First-Hand Research
Here i’ve gathered first-hand visual research of different typographic lettering, numbers, symbols, text and images. I’ve also photographed a few architectural buildings and structures as I think it would be interesting to combine both together.
