Activity : Trial printing
Friday, 28th September. A trial run on stencil printing was done.
Ms Lisa showing the techniques on cutting stencils out from an acetate.
The anchor was the one I chose, and have printed a few extras one just in case I make a mistake
After much thinking I've decided to play with positive and negative spaces in creating the shape of an anchor.
The green part is the spaces I chose to cut out and to be applied with colour to have a contrast with the uncoloured region.
A grey and purple colour combination test.
I've decided to make a trial cutting on acetate which I got from Shook Leng (thanks shookie!)
Succeeded on my first try!
This time I opted for a nautical colour combination, which enhances the whole sailor-anchor effect. The colours are obviously the classics..red and blue.
Printing time! I've used scrap fabric here and since I have no fabric paint I resorted to poster paints.
Not a bad job though, but it could be better. So far I've been rather pleased. Am looking forward to the next class where we could be printing on any objects of our choice!
Assessment : Creating a monogram
Lecture on Logos and Monograms on the 21st of September.
The class were then told to create a monogram for ourselves. We had to come up with at least 10 of them. These were pictures of my progress.
Its good to have maggi during in class assessments :p
These are all that I've created at the point of time. My designs on the monograms are basically inspired by shapes or designs that existed but I incorporate my initials in the design itself. For me, I like to bring a certain thing to have a much more personal connection to me. As to the designs I've chose such as the diamond, hearts, anchor, infinity symbol, cherry.. they all have a personal significant to me and they mark a journey of my life in different points of time. So I thought it would be nice to have your initials within a "story".
These are the ones that Ms Lisa chose out of the lot :
The anchor
The kite.
Although the "kite" has a better potential in creating a monogram but I chose to work on the "anchor" because of the "story" behind it.
