chelsea girl

i am a chelsea girl! after a busy and bumpy first 2 days of college, having already started 2 projects ... we were given the opportunity to cool off a little and go on a blind date with a stranger! my date was kaly and it turned out we share the same birthday.

 

i am currently doing a 2 week rotation of vis com (visual communications). our first project was entitled "ideas, ideas, ideas". we were given a sketchbook, a word and a partner and we were asked to work as quickly as possible, exploring the word that we were given, and then combining the two together. my word was 'cake', and my partners was mountain! i struggled with this and was worried that my drawings weren't going to be up to a high standard, but during our crit session, i realised that everyone was doing similar things to me. i finally grasped the concept of what vis com is about, the course doesn't necessarily expect you to produce fine pieces of work, but its your ideas that you generate that count. 

for our second project, "images, images, images" we were asked to bring in 13 found images, ranging from old postcards to old slides and were asked to select a title from a large list. my chosen title was "celebrate old victories". we had to create a visual sequence/narrative but not needing to have an explicit story. here are some pieces from my sketchbook.
