Graphic Design.
On the first day day of experimenting with Graphic design in the foundation course we were given a series of tasks to complete:
Task1, was to complete a portrait of someone sitting opposite us with our eyes closed
Task2, was to complete a portrait of a different person using our weaker hand
Task3, was to draw the person opposite us with the pen in our mouths
Task4, the final task was to draw ourselves without looking in a mirror using one line only.
The tasks produced some really interesting outcomes, they also helped us to increase confidence when drawing… I think the funniest drawing was the one we had to complete with our eyes closed, it ended up terrible with features all over the place… The one i like the most is the portrait
Following the portrait drawings we created images of a partners ear, we could use any medium we preferred. The idea behind this task was for us to understand that just because something familiar to us seems "easy" to remember and draw does not mean it always is. The task proved to be more challenging than most of us expected, with the unique and organic shapes the ear creates come obscure shadows.

After the sketching exercises we were asked to create a collage using pictures of celebrities, the main to faces i chose were Leonardo Di Caprio and Noel Clarke. I ripped the two pictures down the middle so that it would create a more interesting look rather than just cutting it perfectly down the middle. Luckily the two images corresponded accordingly creating what looked like one image as a whole... For a more dynamic approach to the collage i decided to add in a suited body, some hands and a contrasting pair of eyes, i was really happy with results achieved. After the collage process was complete we were asked to create a 3cmX3cm view finder and depict sections of our collage, to pinpoint interesting areas to recreate. I photographed the two sections i chose and then manipulated them in photoshop to enhance the abstract nature of the final product. I am really happy with the results i produced.
