About me
I’m a first year student studying Graphic Design at University of Huddersfield
My agenda is to create a new level of visual language concentrated towards the perservation of nature
Modernism After world war 1 companies begain to flourish as markets opened all over the world selling all kinds of food for everyday needs.Graphic design started developing ver gradually as advertising companies
bagan staging on the world. The term modernism described the upcomming of new trends and advertising techniques such as books,posters etc after the early twenties. Consumerism,facism
began to appear as everyday new products ventured the market with labels indicating new appeared companies and the products it sells.
Postmodernism
Postmodernism During the late-20th century Postmodernism movment was a decendat from modernism.The movement was usually accociated with deconstructivism and post-structuralism due to it’s innovation in both art and architecture. ostmodernist ideas in philosophy and the analysis of culture and society expanded the importance of critical theory and has
been the point of departure for works of literature, architecture, and design, as well as being visible in marketing business and the interpretation of history, law and culture, starting in the late 20th century
City in Flux
As nearly two hundred years of technology development humanity has left the eco system of our
planet highly destabilised as species become instinct aswell as pollution in the water runs high graphic
designers tend to find a way of growing an awareness regarding pollution as I have made quite alot of research
regarding the crisis I have made several pieces of work which is a inspiration regarding nature.
Think Green logo was created firstly on Illustrator and later cut on a piece of wood in advancing to the next
stage of light projection. The main purpose of the logo is to represent my project as it bares a unique
and simple symbol of a tree making it recongnisable and proffessional
The seccond piece of my work is an inspiration from a documentary movie I watched about buring
natural food in order to produce energy that woud power up an entire settlements or even cities in the
future. As an example there has been an actual factory that uses nuts to produce electricity.
My project is also a symbol of purity and change.
The lightbulb concept is really basic and simple as it tends to represent the mixture of power as if it’s used
properly could reduce pollution as factories and rivers pollute the nature as they emit carbon dioxide
and water factories could even change the flow of a river or stream.
The Fish Forest was made about the pollution of nature aswell however it’s concept is different from
the rest as it represents all the animals living in the polluted waters as their numbers decrease rapidly
because of enourmous quantities of fishing , oil spills and pollution
Although my typography is really basic and simple as source of inspiration was Bauhaus like the building
itself due to the fact that I wanted to create my typography in the style of modernism and
postmodernism . One of the things I enjoyed most was learning how to create the shapes as it was hard for me to
do so however with the help I received the project was almost completed
Earth artefact My entire project was aimed at somthing I have never done before as for example human emotions. I watched several films and I carefully observed the way the main characters are acting for instance Interstellar which made a tremedeous brakethrough. I was about how the human mind works and why do people sacrifice one another and what is keeping
their will strong to even last for so long only to protect the ones they care about. I decided to create an infographic regarding the idea of human emotion and how does it reflect upon us. I used the human eye in my project due to the fact that from what I know the eyes are the mirror of the soul and that would cope perfectly with my idea which is presented
