methods & madness
DESCRIPTION
this is my semester 1 work in my 2nd yearTRANSCRIPT
Shooting Stars
This was the first brief of the semester. It was based on the recent events that happened in the news such as;
• AmyWinehouse’sdeath• TheLibyastorywithGaddafi• LondonRiots• ThememoraloftheTwinTower
The topic that i choose was the London Riots, so I thought I would make a low budget verison on newsnight.
I looked at the metro newspaper on the way to uni, then watched the news to see what was going.

Paper Co.
Paper Co. was undoubtably our first test in the deep end of graphic design so far, having to take a professional approach to the briefs and having to present our ideas to the company with A3 presentation boards.The choices that we where given was;
• Virgin• PaperCo.• Government• Henderson
The Government was the brief that I chosse because that fire fire sfatey posters are plain and boring. I thought to change the layout of the poster, present the actual poster instead of how a normal poster comes in a straight rectangular shape.

Chinese Whispers
This brief is what it say on the title. Basically it was to show how other people interpretate what was show to them or what they read. I started of by writing a word and showig it to someone and what they came up with, then by showing what that person did to someone else and so on but i only gave them 60 seconds to do it.
Biography
The biography brief, we picked a name at random and we had to research about the person we choose in three different ways to the typical ways that we reseacrh.
The name I got was Fiona Raby, one way I thought was to make a wanted posters and post it up everywhere and see if anyone knew any information about here. I would e-mail everyone with that name and see if I get any reply.
E-mailsThe e-mails didn’t go to plain how I wanted to, I hoped I may have got a reply but all i got was delivery failure e-mails back.
Evaluation
To be fare my work is not of the greatest standered, because this whole semester I haven’t creatively inspired to produce an amazing piece. I dont no what it is but I dont feel like there was enogh pressure put on either by myself or just by the deadlines of these brief.
