Section 1: Review (Approx 150 words)
|
|
|
Since
starting Ravensbourne in September I have developed some strong skills when
using computer software such as Photoshop, Illustrator and InDesign. I have
learnt how to use After Effects, which was really interesting as I did not
know how to use it before and I would really like to use it again at some
point. I have also learnt how to use some 3D machinery
such as the laser cutter and the 3D printer as well as other basic machines
and equipment. By using a weekly blog I have learnt that it is a better and
easier way to keep track of my work and it has helped me to evaluate my work
better than I would when just using my sketchbooks.

Section 2: Project Concept (approx 250
words)
|
|
|
Coming from
an Indian background I have decided that for my final major project I want to
look at different types of cultural patterns for example Aztec, African and
Mahendi for I find these patterns really fascinating and I really like the
whole concept behind each different one. I will also do research into
numerous other cultures such as Japanese, Chinese, traditional British patterns,
Tudor and Celtic, South East Asia, Maori and Aboriginal. I will then make my
own interpretation of these patterns. This being the patterns themselves and
the colours used. I am aiming to then make the patterns into several different
sheets of wallpaper that I would like to hand print using lino printing. My
intention is to produce at least two sheets of wallpaper for each different
final pattern design. I am also aiming to produce a small sample book full of
different colour schemes for each different print. It may be that I am unable
to produce the sheets of wallpaper and the sample book due to printing
difficulties or it being too impractical. If this happens I will then instead
scan my final pattern designs into the computer and neaten and sharpen them
up using Illustrator, Photoshop or InDesign and then transfer onto different
types of fabric using the fabric printer, which can then be used to make a
garment or a type of accessory such as a scarf of a headband.

Section 3: Evaluation (approx 100
words)
|
|
|
By creating an action plan I am able to
track my progress to make sure I am using my time efficiently and to make
sure I am producing everything on time. I will be using several sketchbooks
in which I will keep all of my processes and ideas and anything that changes
throughout the seven weeks. My daily blog will include more information and
will explain the work more than my sketchbook. I will evaluate each piece of
work and talk about it more detail during regular crits with peers and
tutors.
