Timetable



In this class we talk how to prepare the new semester. Like, how to improvement, how to design the time-able, how to make sure the achievement. And then we talk the important class task/ work a lot of time. I try to understand and make sure with teacher. Now, I think the most important thing make sure the final project outline and writ essay.
Task:
Summary:

Today I prepare to write an essay. I want to finish an essay which connect with my final project structure. So I must understand what I want to do in this final project. I thinking and writing even find some materials half class.
Then, I try to find some style same with my final work in my mind.
And then I talk with teacher. And I know directly what thing is attract to me. It is the space. The space is some air, is people and people, something and people and so on.
Plans:I started to expand my shopping cart and investigate some artists. I will focus on Polina Osipova and Sharah Sze.
Summary:

Essay’s topic: Contrasting two modern artists who work with pearls – relatively traditional and relatively avant-garde
Analysis with reference to other compositions:
I think the essay talks about one opinion and takes an example, them reference some one(famous people)’s opinion to Stress the credibility of this view. It is a very good way. Because people often care about sources of information. Good sauces will be more believable.
But his views are actually rather one-dimensional and not very well structured. But it just doesn’t meet my requirements and is still clear as an introductory text. Just seeing this article instead I understand more clearly that I need to write pieces that are clearly structured as a whole.

Outline:
Contrasting two modern artists who work with pearls – relatively traditional and relatively avant-garde
Pearls are a material that has long been popular with designers, particularly in the field of jewellery and related disciplines.
This article compares the differences between two designers who use pearls as a key design element. Mizuki Goltz’s style is more traditional, while Polina Osipova’s is more avant-garde.
(Introducing the two designers)
The article will mainly compare the two designers’ use of pearls in terms of material, technique and expressiveness.
Materials: Traditionally, real pearls are often used, which need to be lustrous. Or in the shape of a teardrop. The emphasis is on the beauty of the pearl itself.
Avant-garde: the pearl itself is important but the expression is greater than the pearl itself, sometimes preferring instead to work with mutilated pearls.
Auxiliary materials: mainly metallic materials, especially gold and gold metals. This traditional combination is very harmonious and emphasises the magnificent lustre even more
Not only metal, but also paper, plastic and other modern materials are spliced with the pearls.
On the one hand, there is the beautiful fact that the pearls themselves are perfect, that they are the subject of the work
On the other side, the visual impact of the large number of pearls, the particularity of the distorted pearls is better suited to expressing emotions and ideas. It is part of the work
(very different)
Technique: traditional stringing and soldering, pearl perforation. The actual style is relatively minimalist in the tradition, and therefore usually uses a circle of pearls, or half a circle of pearls strung together to make jewellery. A very fluid look
In addition to the traditional process, more often than not the tendency is to glue them together. Keeping the pearls close to each other.
(very different)
The difference
The traditional work is more focused on the pearl itself
Pioneering works show what they want to say through the pearls
Same
Both use pearls as the main material. Pearls have many symbols and have a certain value. They are very beautiful and versatile.
The comparison shows that the artists who often use pearls as their main material have quite different approaches and philosophies. Especially in terms of craftsmanship and materials. One side is mainly strung and the other more glued and the texture of the pearls is different, all of which are clearly different. But even in modern times, whether the style is traditional or vanguard, different pearls can be used. It is clear that pearls have a powerful compatibility, and charm. Its symbolic nature, its beautiful appearance, its varied shapes and its strong presence are the reasons why different ideas have chosen it together. While Mizuki Goltz prefers to explore the beautiful lines and harmonious combinations of pearls, Polina Osipova prefers to use the storytelling of pearls to represent memories and feelings. They use pearls and therefore their work starts with some aspect of pearls. Not only are the pearls used allegorically, but the meaning of the pearls increases with their expression. This compatibility is one of the biggest reasons why the creators need pearls and are keen to use them in their creations. It would also explain why both writers can use pearls to continually create a large number of works.
Intro:
Pearls have long been a popular material for designers, particularly in jewelry and related fields. This article compares the differences between two modern artists who use pearls be the main element. The similarities and differences between the two women, who use the same materials but in different styles, are shown separately. Whereas Mizuki Goltz’s style is more traditional, Polina Osipova’s is more avant-garde. Mizuki Goltz is a famous artist and designer. She knows pearls very well and especially knows how to match them. In her work, the pearls show fluidity and harmony. According to the words of Vogue ‘Goltz is known for her unusual pairings. (Pearls and leather, she’s discovered, make excellent bedfellows)’ If you open the website of the brand she has opened, you will also find a large number of soft, adjustable pearl necklaces, earrings, and other pieces. Unlike modern, fluid designs, the style of Polina Osipova, who is more of an avant-garde artist, has instead incorporated several ethnic features. She often creates mysteriously large decorative objects. The eye is a common source for her creations. The pearl is often used as a border for the eye and as a mass of tears dangling from beneath it. Just in 2022, Vogue described her work this way ‘she wears a headdress shaped like a large thimble that is beaded and covered in metal coins. These pieces reference Osipova’s Chuvash roots, an ancient Turkic ethnicity that lives within Russia’s borders and parts of Estonia.’ This ethnic style thus makes for an uncanny collision between her work and pearls, a material that excels at building up a sense of complexity.(Vogue. 2022) Both designers are very good at working with pearls. This paper will be based on the work of both men, their creative philosophy, and external evaluation. The three points of comparison are material, technique, and expressiveness.
Summary:

Today I work to prepare to write the essay.(I find and see some video and essay today.)And finished the Graduate+ semeste.
And I analyze the essay which writes an artist. I want to study the structure. Because I will write two similar essays. So I want to study an essay.

I read the word content about how to write a good essay. I think the most important thing is the Introduction, because it is the first impression of an essay to people. It must be concise and tell the main idea of the essay in a clear and logical way. It is best to limit it to about 120 words, but of course this is without the reference.

During the class we discussed our research into various posters. I mainly discussed how to compose, how to use colour, etc. One of my favourites was Paul Rand, whose creativity I introduced in the class. He has created many famous logos and he doesn’t shy away from rich colours. In addition, the colours he uses are all of the same brightness.
In addition, the colours are all of the same brightness, so the image itself is very harmonious.
I then started to draw 20 more drafts of the poster for the final work. Some of these were also inspired by Paul Rand’s text.
Poster:
Include text and graphics, information share is important too.(Traditional)
Purpose/ function of poster:
influence decision, perused audience
attract concentrate use text and picture, need design about colour and shape.
Image use need significant
Images should support messages visually.
composition, drama
Task: Poster research
I analyzed a historical poster, poster’s name is “Buy War Bonds” (Buy War Bonds Poster by Lawrence Beall Smith – Painting)

This work this is a genre that is highlighted by the theme of illustration.
The theme of this poster is to create anxiety by drawing hints that war hurts children. This is to get more people to buy war bonds for their children’s future lives and to get them to support the war financially.
The subject of the picture is three children of different ages they look restless. The powerless toy in the girl’s hand and the plane in the boy’s hand are symbolic of war and unease. Both the subject and the details give the image a sense of foreboding.
There is very little text on the posters. But it is in keeping with the straightforward and threatening style of the poster images themselves. The text in the poster is a direct statement that people should be buying war bonds as a way of keeping the shadow of war away from their children. The poster also makes the colour of the war bonds golden to give it a more focused look.
I don’t recognise the font exactly. But it is a more classic and powerful typeface. It is easily recognisable from a distance visually and is very promotional. It same with poster’s opinion and demand.
At first glance the poster uses a lot of green and red and yellow. This seems to be a good match for children and is a lively and energetic colour. In fact, the opposite is true, as the artist uses the deeper shadows brought about by the large green background. The darker the shade, the brighter the sky, the more it is darkened, and the foreboding that the beauty of childhood is about to be overshadowed by war.
It is blunt in its message that there is no future for children who do not support war, and it also includes a lot of intention in the images to lead people to think in an unsettling direction. I think it’s a very successful persuasion.
I think the threatening atmosphere and metaphors are very powerful and appealing, and when I made the poster it was probably a good attempt to make the poster powerful.
I analyzed a magazine poster, poster is designed because the Public Theater.(Paula Scher- Painting)

Paula Scher uses a striking black, yellow, red and white colour scheme that is very attractive. In this she mainly uses text as a genre. She linked words with visuals, something that was very original at the time. Her text is the vehicle for visual expression. It gives a very visual touch. It is in the visual and the text together that emphasises what she is trying to say. There is a sense of power that is unique to words.
Paula Scher was at her peak in the 1960s. Art and the economy were both growing at a high rate, which allowed her work to incorporate elements of compositionism, rock and roll, comics and more. Her work seems to represent the height of American art, freely taking the knowledge and elements of the era and using them. This work is mainly in sans serif type.
The period was the height of the American economy and art, and everything was flourishing. Her work is therefore diverse and powerful. At the same time the United States was promoting art that was not elaborate but simple or abstract. This is why Dadaism and Constructivism can be seen in many of her works. These were also the more mainstream forms of art in those days.
Paula Scher’s work during this period was mainly commercial and her style was therefore popular. Or rather her work has an expressive power that can be appreciated by almost everyone.
I think my final work might also need to be crammed with a lot of textual content, which would be visually more pleasing than bland content perhaps drawing on her textual presentation.
I analyzed a poster, eye-bee-M.(Paul Rand- eye-bee-M)

This is a work in which pictures are used as symbols to represent words or pronunciations. It is simple and straightforward in its reference and when one pronounces it this kind of fun makes one smile. It is very stylised and memorable.
His posters are made up of simple geometric compositions, but the things expressed are very precise. It is a work that anyone can appreciate.
There is a clear edge to his work. The different colours do not jump out of the box. In addition, the colours he uses are all of the same brightness.
In addition, the colours are all of the same brightness, so the image itself is very harmonious.
I think he has inspired me in terms of the colour scheme, rather than being stuck in a few simple colours of black, white and grey, I think it is better to be free with the colours. His work shows me that even if you use more than one colour as long as you study the colours well enough you will not get confused.
I analyzed a poster, designed by Saul Bass.

This is a poster designed by Saul Bass for Hitchcock’s film. In the film, which revolves around a man and a woman, the storyline is set against the backdrop of a complex investigation into a murder as if it were a giant mental vortex to get lost in. This poster is just that, a nerve-wracking shade of orange. The simple overlapping silhouettes of the man and woman are matched. And the spiral of alternating thin lines.
The thin lines seem to trap the male and female silhouettes in a way that fits the plot of the film perfectly. At the same time it shows this black hole of white space to the viewer. Such a composition is strongly evocative of the viewer’s curiosity. The simpler it is, the more evocative it is.
His work has inspired me a lot, and I think it’s important to avoid creating something so elaborate that you can’t find the end. The focus must be clear and unambiguous, but the details must be equally fine and intriguing.
I analyzed a poster, design by Max Miedinger.

Max Miedinger’s work is minimalist, intuitive and ahead of its time. He once designed a new metro route map, which is not very different from the version used today. But it was a huge innovation in its day and therefore a major source of controversy. He specialised in using simple, bright colours and clear structural elements to produce a clear, instantly recognisable design.
I think this is very important to learn, because expression is the most important thing. Other things like decorative details are secondary. The first thing to do is to get the point across. So I think his work has given me a great warning that I must focus mainly on making the subject matter I am expressing easily understandable. I think that’s the point of the poster. It is a visual means of communication.
Paul Rand:

Paul Rand is a renowned American designer. He specialises in designing graphic artwork, logos and more. He is known as the Picasso of graphic design. His style is a very avant-garde kind of deconstructionism.
He is famous for his reluctance to have the details of his work altered. It is also for this reason that his work is very fine. It looks simple, but in reality it is not very simple in terms of either the colours used or the structure. And it is because of Paul Rand’s unwillingness to budge on his work. This is what makes his work so simple and beautiful, yet so full of detail.
He is also very professional, for example with his NEXT, which is a poster with the letters NEXT, but NEXT is used too often in posters. So Paul Rand experiments with different fonts and sizes in order to create his own perfect NEXT.
I think it is very important to have such a serious and professional graphic designer. Because graphic design is, literally, flat. It is a very simple vehicle, so the slightest imperfection will be very obvious. That’s why I think people like Paul Rand are natural graphic designers.

Primary Research

This is a poster for Tesco. It is in a very important location, the checkout location. Anyone going to the checkout or looking towards the checkout location will see it.
It is set against a blue tinted grey and black background, which contrasts with the vibrant colours of the strawberries in the main image. Also on the background is bold white text used for eye-catching purposes. It is a very simple sentence. “Fresh berries handpicked for ripeness.” I think this phrase shows both the excellence of the goods in the supermarket with Fresh. It also shows the heart and sincerity of the supermarket to its customers from handpicked, as human resources are relatively expensive.
The main colour of this poster is red strawberries, and red is generally exciting to see. Bright red, on the other hand, gives an appetising and life-affirming feeling. It will look striking because of the base colour. Such excitement will create a certain desire to buy. If the person is not buying fruit perhaps people will go and buy it before they go to the checkout. This is what promotes consumption.
I think the poster is very simple, broken down it is just a photo and a quote. But both the text, the placement and colour and the composition are very useful. I think this poster is excellent because it has the impact that the supermarket wants.

I have created 20 posters mainly inspired by creative posters, text posters and commercial magazine cover posters. The text part of the creation was mainly influenced by Paul Rand’s work.
I have experimented with snakes to represent the letter L, which is an attempt at pictograms. I also experimented with drawings that simulate sound. For example, if see is pronounced the same as sea I would draw the sea. And I see you is like an association with ICU.
For the creative posters, I was inspired by the textbooks in moodle. I will try to use intricate nails and silk threads to show the sense of bondage that I want to show in my final work. Also inside the nails I will hide snakes and fearful people.
Finally, for the magazine style, I chose a simple style. Just using models and text, I think this is influenced by fashion magazines like Vogue. I tried painting single posters to show the people and the whole snake decoration. I also tried drawing multiple people to show the different ways and angles of the snake decoration. Finally I also drew posters with just the snake decorations and text, which is more like the posters for magazines such as Natural Science. I wanted to try and show just the artwork itself.
I ended up going through a lot of experiments and I think they all made sense. It gave me an insight into the different styles and focus of the work that could be presented in different formats. After this draft has been drawn I will be able to think more fully about what I want to show.
Typography
A rangement tax. Make writing together.

A way to use text as a visual to convey a message.

The design of self front:






Task:
DIN
According to the fontsarena”DIN typeface gets its name from Deutsches Institut für Normung (German Institute of Standardization), and it was developed in 1931 from the font created in 1906 by the Preußische Bahnverwaltung (Prussian Railway Administration) for its own use.”
DIN This typeface has industrial proportions and sharp angular edges. It is a modern, industrial style typeface. It is visually well suited to a style that expresses a sense of metal and industrial technology.
DIN is ideal for text in posters because of its sharp angles. This is because it shows the text itself very clearly. At the same time, the lines of the DIN typeface are wide and therefore have a very strong presence as a headline. It is a highly usable typeface.

Neo Sans
Neo Sans is a classic typeface with a modern aesthetic and a practical feel. The typeface has an open space and a moderate structure between the letters. With the smooth curves without angles, the overall gesture is curved. This is a futuristic style.
According to cufonfonts, “both the Neo Sans and the more minimalist Neo Tech range are available in six weights, from lightweight to super-weight.” The multi-sided assortment also gives users a wider and broader choice.According to cufonfonts, “both the Neo Sans and the more minimalist Neo Tech range are available in six weights, from lightweight to super-weight.” The multi-sided assortment also gives users a wider and broader choice.

Roman
Roman is the most common typeface used in printing and has an ancient history. Because it is often used in the printing of books, it retains the curved lines typical of classical fonts, while at the same time keeping the overall style simple.
Not only Roman, but there are many other evolutions of Roman. For example, Time new roman, Italic and many others. All of these increase the scope of choice. When using Roman, it is possible to use a variety of derivatives of the typeface in a zoned expression while maintaining a uniform style. This makes for a richer, but not cluttered poster.

Based on the previous video, I learned that there are three most important things to keep in mind when choosing a font to create a poster. Firstly, the font style should be consistent with the style of the content being presented. Secondly, there should not be too many fonts used in a poster. Thirdly, the font should be clear because fonts are there to present ideas clearly.
I started by looking for a font that would be suitable for the title of the poster, which I thought would be large enough that a classic or slightly more fancy font would not prevent people from reading it clearly. So I looked at a large number of different styles of fonts. Also, depending on what I was creating, there was an important element in my work, which was the snake. So I was looking for a typeface that had the softness of a snake. So I finally found the one that fitted best. The “Fourt Carsey Font” has a snake-like curve to the “C” and “S” letters. In addition, the words used in this font usually have a feature that some of the letters are compact but the larger letters have a large white space. This white space makes the more ornate text clearer and more recognisable. At the same time it reminds me of a snake feeder. When one sets up a rearing box, one needs to divide it into two areas, one is a relatively empty area for the snakes to bask in the sun. The other is an area with some piles of hiding places. I think it is very similar to the layout structure of the font. That’s why I chose it. Because the typeface is closely related to my theme and is also aesthetically pleasing and special in its own right.
Next I started looking for fonts for the text section, which I think is not as much of a choice as the poster section. As the text section is smaller than the headline, some artistic and fancy fonts were already ruled out to ensure the most basic principle of clarity of meaning. I therefore turned my attention to sans serif fonts, which for the most part have uniform, clean lines and are easily recognisable. At first I chose the industrial German typeface DIN, because the world’s largest reptile zoo is in Germany. But when I looked deeper, I found that the DIN font was rather thick. The Fourt Carsey Font for the title, however, is a slim-line font. If you put them directly together they would be top heavy. Finally, I looked for Futura Front, which I think is the most suitable font at the moment. Visually, it has a clear outline and a slimmer font that works well with the Fourt Carsey Font. In addition, and more importantly, although there is no clear association, this typeface is still seen as modernist with Bauhaus influences. The use of some metal in the materials of my final work is also influenced by this style. I therefore consider this typeface to be more in keeping with my style of expression.


Migur
According to befonts “Migur typeface is a design of Wassim Awadallah. Migur Font is a free serif font with artistic curves and perfectly pro- portional letters. ”
Migur’s has a rational and beautiful structure and proportions with a combination of geometric patterns. Each letter has a balanced balance of thick and thin lines. This gives Migur a geometric, industrial and, at the same time, classical feel thanks to the slender curves. This design is very unique and has a very strong presence. It is a design that in my mind could compete with the Fourt Carsey Font for headlines.

Presentation design- structure
planning: I need to show my final work, and it include all class. I need every thing I learned.
audience: tutor and classmate.
We study and teach each class. So I do not need talk a lot of word about class. I need to talk in class what is I feeling and know.
I need PPT to show the visible part, but the PPT just show some topic picture and a little bit sentences. I will talk almost word.
I do not sure how much slides right now. The slides is serve by visible. Different part will in different slide. Slide is serve meaning.
I will keep time 12-20min. Less then 12 min is so short I can not show all work. And long than 20 that mean my presentation is unclearly, it will be boring. So I will control the time during 12- 20min.
I want to take my final work /poster and important materials.
I will say according to XXX say. And write the prensentation.
I will use English. Because every one(my audience) can speak English.

Poster design:
At first I just wanted to make posters combining the style of Paula Scher’s text as a visual theme and the style of Paul Rand with simple colors and clear edges. But I think such a poster would not have my own style.
Rebecca gave me a great piece of advice when I was thinking about it. Is that I can use the stencil printing techniques that I learned this semester at the Art studio to create the background. Then I scanned the background and incorporated it into my own work. So I made the background part of the poster in reality.


I made two versions, one simpler and one slightly more spatial in the corners. In the end, I chose the second version with the spatial stroke.
I ended up choosing Migur front and Futura front for the formal production of the poster. Migur front is the visual main body in my poster. It is a modern sans serif typeface that combines curves and lines. Migur’s has a rational and beautiful structure and proportions with a combination of geometric patterns. Each letter. Migur’s has a rational and beautiful structure and proportions with a combination of geometric patterns. Each letter has a balanced balance of thick and thin lines. This gives Migur a geometric, industrial and, at the same time, classical feel thanks to the slender curves. This design is very unique and has a very strong presence. The spaciousness of this font is very unique and distinct. That’s why I chose it.
Futura front is a classic modern font. With a modern font brief and hard at the same time also has a certain sense of curve. It goes well with Migur front. At the same time, its lines are clear, even if the font is small, it can still be clearly seen by people. This is an important point.
I also tried to change the colors of blue, yellow and black on the background. But in the end I found that white with a little bit of light blue was the best for the poster. Because it makes the poster more concise and clear. Highlight the structural relationship of the font itself.







poster:

Notes from the panel discussion:
In the group discussion I found out that to make a good poster it has to be attractive and relevant to your work. For example, all the colours used in Olivia’s poster are consistent with the colour scheme of the final piece. For example, Rose’s use of fonts that took up the main canvas area was in line with her branding.
What people like more about my posters is the background pattern and the choice of font in relation to my final work. This is what I think I have done well and I will keep it that way.
But at the same time they also made an important comment about my work. And that is the colour scheme. For my initial draft I chose the common white of pearl mixed with a slight blue for the background and the main typeface was black. These are for the sake of clear lines and uniformity of colour. But I also made a decision that didn’t make enough sense, and I painted the smaller fonts pinkish-purple to be more eye-catching. But this is not really justified. And it’s too abrupt. Also the tail end overlaps with the floral pattern in the background and is out of harmony with the clear theme.
I think this is a very helpful comment. So while retaining most of the good points I changed the colour of the small font to a black and white that is consistent with the style of the poster. At the same time I have adjusted the position in which it sits. Not only does it not overlap with the pattern, but just changing the position makes the small font more visible. I think this is a good improvement.
Final poster:

To prepare for future presentations, I will study two journals to learn their techniques. Eventually I will write a 500 word documentation to demonstrate the techniques I have learnt that I can use in my presentation.

documentation
This is an instructive article. The main purpose of the article is to elevate the presentation from good to great.
This article is divided into ten sections to show the reader tips on how to make your presentation better. Why and how to do it.
These are the requirements respectively, “Show your passion, connect with your audience, focus on your audience’s needs, keep it simple: focus on your core message, smile and make eye contact with your audience, start strongly, remember the 10-20-30 rule for slides, tell a story, use your voice effectively and also use your body, relax, breathe and enjoy.”
One of the stories told is highlighted. It was meticulously presented with the rationale for doing so. The story, or rather a compelling and memorable content, is the most important. The story itself is not necessarily positive. But its presence must bring a positive speech to the presentation. For example, one that is memorable, engaging, or even a curiosity. But above all it is important to set the pace and atmosphere. Make the audience’s experience not boring and monotonous.
The another article is a TED article, which will no doubt be more difficult but also more professional and in-depth.
This article argues that preparing a great presentation requires a combination of framing your story during the presentation, having a good stage presence during the presentation, and creating a self-promoter before the presentation. And creating a self-promotional media that is suitable for the presentation before the presentation.
I couldn’t agree more with one of the author’s quotes.” According to Anderson, speeches rise and fall on the quality of the ideas, the narrative and the passion of the speaker. It’s about content rather than style. In fact, it’s fairly easy to “coach” out the issues in a speech, but there’s no way to “coach” out the underlying story – the speaker must have the source material.” This is why I have to do so much preparation for my speeches.
Anderson believes that the success or failure of a speech is determined by the structure of its framework. I strongly agree with this. Atherson gave the example of a governor’s speech. The bragging he thought he was doing made the whole speech boring. I think this uninterestingness was mainly caused by unattractive content as well as running off on tangents. But contrast that with another mayor, whose speech was just fascinating. Because she shared the core ideas very directly and used interesting stories as a vehicle to express them.
I think this made me understand the importance of having a clear structure, while not forgetting the techniques used when presenting. This is what makes up a complete interesting and meaningful presentation.
