household items - zine outcomes.
Having a choice of choosing what we personally want to do for our self-initiated study, i have chosen to base my study on ‘household items’. I wanted to challenge myself by exploring what i could possibly produce with everyday objects within my household that doesnt really get recognised to the point where us humans think twice about with in depth analysis.

I started off my project by collecting various primary and secondary photos and sources in which built up my idea of where and how to start. A journal in fact was the initial starter during the summer holidays in which i collected several mixed media items in which reflects on my interest, influence and visual appearance. This is where my progression of deciding on what to do as my personal study started as i wasnt really sure of what to base my study on, however, having prominent links to my choice of study shows how i got to where i am now. What i mean by this is actually in depth analysis of my collections of postcards, designs and photos that has elements of lines, shapes, bold colours and typography in which are all featured within my project. This is reflected on my interest and style of design in which i chose artists that shows prominent links to that which i can create outcomes that have that style. Also, I took photos of various items in a relatives house in France that i went to stay for a couple of days which i guess, was the initial starting point of me choosing household items.

The start of the actual A2 Graphics course, as an introductory I was set various tasks to do just to build up a more broaden mind in terms of designing outcomes that are different to what i normally do. This consists of looking at artists and designer from different background of the art field such as, Richard Long, Craig ward and Antony Gormley. As responses, I created experimental pieces from practical work like sculptures to digital outcomes using photoshop and illustrator. It made me realise that i do not necesarily have to work a certain way just because its suited for me, but it made me think more openly, questioning what am i capable of doing if i work differently from what i used to and how i can inject my style of design and concept within the outcomes, like how i do normally work using programs to create my outcomes.

For my study, i officially started off by taking initial primary photos of items that i find interesting to study about and work. This consists of a photo of a remote control, usb cables and my college id with a lanyard. This was spontaneous as i wasnt set on taking photos that i planned, however i realise that i mainly took photos of electronic devices in which reflects how i am as a thinker and of course, my interest. Technology is growing massively in society and im not really surprised by taking photos of electronics that influence me. Moreover, these are typical household items that i wanted to try and use within my designs and how i can bring it ‘back to life’ by basing my work on just everyday things. I also took photos of footwear, glasses, laptop and even a mahjong set and table to show the range of different items within my household.

During my stages of researching, i looked at contemporary designs that is dominent in todays society which i could relate to with my personal study. Regular trips to galleries occured, museums such as the tate britain, saatchi gallery, science museum and the v&a museum. This was a good start in terms of investigating more on historical as well as contemporary artist in which i could study for my self initiated project. Looking at artist in the museums made me come to a decision of choosing influential artists such as Barbara Kruger and Saul Bass.

I chosen these artist to study as they both have prominents styles that really caught my attention in which i could relate to with the way i work as an artist, such as the simplicity of both artists work, krugers use of bold colours and typography in giving a more conceptual approach of her design intentions and saul bass’ use of shapes in which is the prominent use within his designs. because of this, i started off primarily focusing on what i can see and analyse within their work and creating reponses in which i experimented with their styles. As a result i wanted to try and focus on giving out a sense of style that looks and feels contemporary for my audience to encounter when they come accross my work and see what i can possibly do in order to expand my knowledge and make it challenging for myself. The use of Krugers layering of photos with computer programs really made me think twice of what i want to layer and include whilst designing my own compositions, such as the support of a contrasting background that emphasises the typography. Although their styles do not directly relate to my personal study of household items, i have taken in their well known style in which as experimental and development cases, connected it to the use of my items at home and created designs that are related to my needs.  

Moving on to the experimental and development stages of my project, at first i wanted to think openly by not just experimenting with designs using just photoshop or illustrator, but maybe a more practical approach to show that i am challenging myself and to really see what is different in terms of outcomes. I did experimental practicals with the use of the mahjong set that belongs to my parents. I merely just placed each blocks side by side in creating a brick stacking-like sculpture and work my way up. Also, as development from intaking knowledge of my artists, i took creative liberties by having reference to saul bass’ use of shapes and krugers use of the colour red by collecting lottery tickets and simply creating rectangular shaped pieces and connecting it together in creating a sculpture of a swan. Here i was really pushing myself to the limit as im not the type that really get practical in gterms of design but more of a computer faced type. Not only that, i took photos of my practicals in which is another development in terms of how i want it to look by focusing on the use of angle shots before taking the shots. As my project is very opened in terms of ‘household items’ and having artists that doesnt connect but influenced me with their style i believe i that in gterms of showcasing my study through outcomes, i chose to head towards the route of creating zines as i believe its a perfect way of really combining all my research and designs together in which only the audience can view and be open to interpretations of how i work.

I believe the possible success and good points within my project was actually designing the actual zines and designing my developments for the zines. I included a mixture of my designs that i did practically and digitally to show a versatile approach of what i want in my booklets. All that was included reflects on my research which built up my understanding and intentions in this project. Having also some secondary elements within my zine, i have purposely included this by actually appropriating/re-contextualising the designs into my own design showing a more in depth way of working. The zines consists of unique and different compositons in which i believe can appeal to the audience as my intentions suited well in comparison to possibly creating outcomes such as posters or anything that is related to branding and commercials.

Within every project, there are definitely improvements that can be made. I believe that the photographs that i have taken could be better, by possibly using a more better camera in which can also benefit me in terms of designing. However i have tried to learn from this by focusing on the shot angles in which makes up for the use of quality within the photos, however it is most definitely a case of improvements that can be made. Also i could have improved on maybe possibly choosing a more refined and narrowed study than a broad topic such as household items, but however either  way i believe that it is a challenge for me as i did plan on taking routes which im not familiar with. Also, becuase of this i believe that my build up towards an outcome could have been more better by possibly having relations to clients in which i can work more in depth, showing more stronger and detailed designs for advertising. Despite the improvements, i believe that i did have strong designs and elements within my final outcomes that are created with the experimentals and developments, showing what i am capable of doing.

Overall, i believe that the whole project developed strongly to which i have experienced many different angles of working within graphics design. To represent this, i was able to showcase my strong points and importantly my interest and style of design in a contemporary self promoting zine/s outlet.

Is there a cross over between the world influenced by the martial arts and the world of the visual artist?  

In this essay, i am planning to write about the possible ways the philosophies of the martial arts influences me in life, using Bruce Lee as a primary example as well the visual designer Ibraheem Youssef (graphics designer) to show the comparisons in affecting me and the way i think.  I want to start off by mentioning a certain quote that Bruce Lee said that reflects the way i view life, “Simplicity is the key to brilliance.” Everyone is entitled to their own opinions and thoughts. With this said, this quote personally influences me in many ways and hopefully i will explain this in depth of how it does.

 Artist 1 - Firstly i would like to briefly talk about my chosen artist, Bruce Lee. As many audiences know, Bruce Lee (李小龍) is a Chinese-American of Hong Kong heritage which has imprinted his mark within the martial arts world, specifically Chinese martial arts, as well as the world overall. He is not only a martial artist, but an actor, instructor, philosopher, director, producer and screen-writer. He is also the original founder of the hybrid martial arts movement, Jeet Kune-Do (the way of the intercepting fist). Even now in society, he is still considered one of the most influential martial artists in the modern times, as well as a cultural icon in breaking barriers by teaching kung fu to a multicultural group of learners, not just Chinese people. He underwent various martial arts styles(Wing-Chun, Boxing, fencing and more) in which later he confidently created his own fighting style that’s mentioned above.

I chosen him specifically because he experienced life in many different angles in order to get to where he was and he was never in a position where he thought that he is knowledgeable to an extent where he boasts about it, but strives more to further his understanding of any subject he wishes to focus on. He is also more of a conceptual artist to me more than an actual visual artist, excluding martial arts, which i may find difficult to fully explain my intentions in terms of artwork later on.

However, I believe that many audiences get confused by the term, ‘artist’ and directly assume that it associates with paint brushes and drawing. Interestingly, being an artist is more than that as art in my opinion, is everything that we see and touch. As cliché as it may sound, in terms of influencing me as an artist, my style in designing kind of reflects on the quote that i mentioned earlier. I like keeping designs fairly straight forward and simple. The outcome of having minimalist work and compositions is that it already have its own detailed complexities than designs that were deliberately created to look packed and full. The ideas and concepts behind Bruce Lee’s work influence me rather than the visual impact. The design that is included…
Experimental Design: Composition, Minimalistic, Shapes

 …is an example of one of my works that i have created. Using photo-shop as my primary software, this was an experimental piece where i cut out a photo of my friend doing an acrobatic move from break dancing either with the extract tool or the magic wand tool. Here, the intentions was to try out a 3d look which i did by duplicating the image and highlighted the colours such as blue and red which shows by moving the duplicated photo slightly to the right in order for the colours to reveal itself. Keeping my style referenced, i try to keep it as simple-looking as possible yet, also try suggesting a more complicated look than it does. Composition wise, i position objects where i think it looks approachable and attractive. I do like keeping the basis and foundations of what i learnt in mind every time i make a design such as shapes, layering, colour combinations and decision making. This is similar to how my artist keeps the foundation of what he learnt for kung fu in mind, such as jogging, body conditioning, stretches and forms. Hereis the original photo that i have taken of my friend.
Original photography. Continuous burst shot using a Canon EOS 550D DSLR Camera

 This is another experimental piece of a burst continuous shot photography, capturing all the movement of my friends move to capture the essence of the freeze. At the same time, having in mind of the composition of the photo, and the positioning of the shot, as well as the type of shot i wanted (long range eye level shot)

In my personal life, i have been learning kung fu since the year 2007 and because of this, i inevitably see Bruce Lee as an icon. Also, in relation to me being an upcoming artist, i have to keep reference of the history behind art; in this case it’s the history of kung fu. More importantly it’s the origin of kung fu, which is quite self-explanatory from the term, ‘kung fu’ which is a phonetic spelling of the Chinese characters, 功夫. Born from a Chinese heritage, kung fu is stereotypically recommended as it is a way to become more disciplined and stay healthy/ active. In a way it keeps me satisfied in terms of respecting this tradition as now in society it is more common for people from different countries and culture want to learn the culture, however, the Chinese themselves prioritise learning new things from other countries and culture such as the English Language.

Artwork#1 of Artist 1
Jeet Kune Do Logo/Emblem (1967)

Here is probably the only visual design that was created by Bruce Lee which i find very meaningful in terms of relating it back to the concept of keeping simplicity as the focus of design and representing what he can suggest by learning this type of martial arts. This is the ‘Jeet Kune Do’ (1967) Logo/emblem of Bruce’s martial arts movement that he created. The Chinese character in translation says, ‘Using no way as way’ and ‘having no limitation as limitation’. The design has a very philosophical approach in terms of its use within the design. It is very attractive with the use of colours that are bold and works well as a combination, which firstly makes me think of Hong Kong and China as their flags consists of those colours, which could represent the origin of his interest in martial arts. I believe the use of the taijitsu symbol of the yin and yang was specifically used by Bruce in order to give out a certain purpose of what he wants his audience to understand. My thoughts about the symbol, i believe it shows a balance, equality of both opposite intentions such as, good and evil for example. It was created to show his journey of progressing into something he would find beneficial for himself and others in terms of learning kung fu and its use. Regards to the essay title, indirectly mentioned that his concept and philosophy which lead to him pursuing a life that he did really makes me think differently of what being an ‘artist’ really is. This has contributed in making me experiment with various art forms and fields such as photography, graphics, video-editing and recording as well as practical’s such as martial arts and utilising its effectiveness into creating my own style of designing. It is all about exploring from various angles and perspectives which i can find more in depth details and information that can increase the accuracy of my intentions for example, practising on photo-shopwith typography, and furthering on that experience by using more typographic specialised software such as adobe illustrator.

My experimentation of recording + kung fu hand form practise (original): http://youtu.be/81MbrE8fsiM
the source link is a practical of Bruce Lee’s style of art, which is Wing Chun Kung Fu. Here, you see Bruce undergoing a sparring session with a fellow student of his, practising hand forms of intercepting attacks as well as defence. Before opening his institute of Jeet Kune Do, Wing Chun is primarily the main style in which he built up upon by developing his own style. ‘All types of knowledge, ultimately leads to self knowledge’, this results in exploring on what you can achieve, which is the ultimate gain. For me as an artist, as a learner, this is evidently aimed at all audiences not just me, since you learn something to get a better understanding of it and to benefit you in which you can take into account and possibly use that knowledge in the future.

Secondly, at the same time this was also an experiment of being influenced through his art of directing. Here i have focused primarily on camera shots and angles to challenge myself on how much i can really do to become a diverse artist.

In comparison to artwork 1 of Bruce Lees design, both have relative links in which makes up the life of the artist. The logo originated from the practical activity of Wing Chun kung fu that Bruce Lee learnt from the ‘grandmaster’ Yip Man. Both artwork styles complement each other by having elements of progression within the stages of Bruce Lee’s life, showing his journey in becoming a diverse artist. This most certainly have a cultural influence as well as a historical influence. I fully relate to this as i believe i am not the type of artist that is specialised in one particular field or route, but more of a ranged learner that wants to be moderate at all fields. In terms of producing work, my thoughts come from interest and my interest comes from anything that i find meaningful. I most probably analyse the current production of work and possibly use it but work over it in my own way, appropriated. This could mean layering my designs over original designs, or simply just record and rein act scenes from videos on Youtube. 
 

Here is a composition piece i created that associates myself doing a side kick during my daily outings of going to the park to practise my form and routines. In relevance of the positioning of the piece, i kept it very straight forward, trying to avoid in depth detail. This design was created with the use of layering the background, texture, and typography and of course, the photo. For the typography, i included a brief sentence in which i created about kung fu. ‘Learning a martial art does not define who you are, but how you are from different perspectives. Confidence, self esteem, self discipline and control is all activated to broaden ones knowledge.  Physically, emotionally and mentally stronger, only you to compete against is the ultimate gain.‘ This is pretty much about how an individual is perceived under certain occurrences, for example if you are wearing a watch; the importance is of how you use the watch not because it’s just there.

Artist 2 – Ibraheem  Youssef


Here is my secondary artist, named Ibraheem Youssef. He is a Toronto based designer that specialises in graphics, illustration and typography. From my perspective, i see his work as an influence as i could relate it to my own style of designing. He use bold colours to really emphasise his compositions and the use of a minimalistic approach really give out a sense of unique creations that i never encountered before but only seeing him do it.

This is the reason why i have chosen him as my artist to talk about. His style is very up to date with society as well as having that contemporary feel towards the artwork, very inspirational. Also, he gives out a message that art and design is always a matter of learning and its ‘never ending quest’. Similar to the philosophy of kung fu and the quote by Confucius, ‘It does not matter how slowly you go, as long as you do not stop.’ Having links in which i can refer to, this helps me understand how everything is linked together, the past and the present.

Artwork#1 of Ibraheem Youssef

   
Here are some examples of Ibraheem Youssef’s work in which reflects the minimalist approach. Purpose is to represent certain films which only the important details which stands out within the movie that makes it what it is, in this case, the inception poster, has a lined shaped head in which is detailed with simple lines in having reference to a maze by the looks of the design, which gets more in depth at the centre of where the brain is located. The design is being supported with the dark textured background that contrasts with the bright yellow.  Conventions like these implicates that this movie is all about the mind and how we persevere this by analysing the poster in finding out what it’s about, just by looking at the creation(first impressions). This reflects on my way of working as i mainly work in a minimalistic way. The use of various bold colours in his other designs are not really a comfortable case for me as i only like using colours such a black and white. However, as experiment i did attempt to use various colours in order to diversify learning new ways of designing, which is needed in becoming a more successful artist, embarking on possibly developing new styles from old styles.

Response pieces of Ibraheem Youssefs work as well as reference to  my first artist (kung fu)

In comparisons to my first artist who is more conceptual than actual design (opinionated), both have experienced art in a completely different way. At the same time, both are from different time periods as well, which both artist have experienced different outcomes of practical designs, which technology can be influenced, showing historical and social change. Bruce shows his work of art through body language and movement, whereas Ibraheem shows this through online websites if not print outs/portfolio. The differences between both artists are that they are specialised in a different kinds of art forms (practical and graphics). Both art routes influenced me as i have experienced both pathways and still currently developing from it. Bruce is an artist that was in an era where technology was not as advance in comparison to now, hence me only being influenced by him conceptually and practically whereas Ibraheem is in a post computer technology era which makes me approach their work in different ways. However both artists have work that is interlinked, but the outcome is different.      

To conclude, i believe that i have given thorough implementations of my thoughts and ideas on how my artists have influenced me as a designer. Being an artist really isn’t just about the obvious; it is dependant on how an individual thinks. Everything has an origination and i believe that the concept behind everything it is the main source of how art can be open and how everyone is able to give their own theories and opinions which don’t necessarily need to be proven. I definitely believe that there are many improvements that can be done within my work. Also, i need to take more risks in stepping out of my comfort zone within designing. As an artist, you have to work with unfamiliar routes that don’t necessarily interest you but will benefit you for development. I believe i need to use more various bold colours within my design to really engage with the audience by attracting them. During my studies, i have learnt various connections of how to interpret art in my own way by learning the fundamentals that started me off, such as photo shop, illustrator, critical thinking, analytical thinking, research, material experiments etc. Producing work wise, this will definitely be reflected through the people that influence me and through my levels of being creative. Going back to the quote, ‘simplicity is the key to brilliance’, i still feel positively influenced by this and the unique thing about this is that everyone interpret this in their own way which reflects on their actions and how they utilize such theory, because of this, we all have distinctive styles that projects out in everything we do. I strongly believe that with my current skills and knowledge that i have gained from college and outside of college; it’s still not enough to fully grasp what i am capable of doing. Thus, i will be looking forward to the future with new projects and new experiences to encounter.

Here is my experiment on creating a zine with my current research and designs. I wanted to see how i would make my zine in terms of how i would layout my zine. The use of positioning, proportions, colour schemes all come in use withing zine-making and it was a really challenging task to do! To be honest, Firstly i was really proud of creating my zine as i never actually created a zine before. However, i really do think that it doesnt show my true potential in terms of show casing my style and design. I believe in keeping true to my style of design:minimalism but i tihnk my zine outcome turned out too basic in showing the specialty of having minimalistic work that look appealling and contemporary at the same time. I will most definitely learn from this and research various zine designs intocreating my final designs.

Gaining skills from my artists and secondary research. In this stage of my personal study, i have thought about my chosen outcome. In terms of having a client, i want to strictly not head to a route where i have to necessarily have a client in order to have outcomes to be projected out. As it is my own personal study, i want to keep it personal and keep it freelance-like. I want to possibly create a Zine which will feature all the experiments, development and research of my designs and collections to showcase my journey within this study and thinking ahead, in terms of putting myself in a position in which i want to promote my work, i believe a zine is the perfect source. This is open to interpretation for the viewers and it is pretty much expressing myself as a designer and what i can do in terms of creativity and style. This no doubt will be a difficult task as a zine is technically an outcome that is build up with many outcomes. My aim is to try and maintain a stylish and contemporary look whilst creating the zine. Im planning to possibly create an initial experimental zine beforehand to give myself a glimpse of how it turns out then afterwards taking into the good and bad points of it, ill develop from that into making my final zine design/s!

During my personal study i have realised that my progression have been influenced by my artists. Yes, my personal study is about household items, but at times i find myself creating designs that are at times not necesarily focused on it but more sided with my artists unique designs. This i find interesting as it shows how i am thinking and how it is imporatant to have artists as a foundation in to building up your own style and ways of thinking.

Here are developments of my designs where i move on from my artists style and try import my own style. Taking into account of what ive researched and learnt, shapes, texture, text and photos will be included. i want to still try and keep the foundations of my artists style such as, krugers use of bold colours and saul bass’ shapes. This is all building up to my final outcome! My approach to designing is very minimalistic, and i want to try keep a contemporary approach within the appearance of my designs. within all my designs i like to keep reference to my own existence, so i imported my birth year of 1993, as well as my name and my actual birth date of ‘0317’. This was influenced by saul bass’ implements of having his well known work in some of his designs such as the jagged arm and of course his, name as well as his birth and death year that was in one of his pieces. Keeping it very simple, i included edgy shapes just to keep the whole design looking urban and contemporary which was developed from bass’ use of shapes. Aklso, in terms of using typography i like to keep a relationship with my viewers by havign a more friendly tone, show a sense of engagement by having some play on words such as the design below of ‘a shoe?! wheres the other one?!’ and ‘are you hungry?’ I like to have imports of lines within my pieces aswell just to give it an extra touch if im stuck of having ideas whgilst creating. I atempted to use a variety of colours that i find bold in order to have an attractive and eye-catching approach towards promoting my designs to the audience however i did experimented on using a not so bold colour in the ’ are these your house keys’ design. Im not really satisfied about that design as i think the use of colour doesnt really emphasise the coomposition at all, giving it a dull and boring way of looking at it. What i do like about it and the other pieces is the thought of actually positiong every detailed designs that you see within the work.
          

Shapes - Saul Bass Inspired
Taking in to account of my artist style, i have moved on by developing as well as experimenting with new things. Having reference of artist styles, such as Kruger (colours) and Bass’ use of bold colours and shapes, i decided to go practical by creating what i call, ‘ninja stars’ with  coloured paper(household item). Using straight foward coloured paper as well as plain, i have folded and connected the shapes in specific ways in order to get this outcome. The outcome turned out decent but i strongly believe it can be improved in terms of accuracy of the folding to give a more sharp look. However, i do like the outcome of it as it reminds of a more action adventured-like film that i have watched over and over again that involes no other than ninjas and assassins. The use of colour really differentiate of that as well, as it you would associate dark colours with ninjas however, the bold colours that are used differ, giving out a really warm feeling, which makes me feel like home as it is probably the only place where anyone would find peaceful and warm, having reference to the actual home aswell *HOUSEHOLD but not items, haha*, everything is interlinked, which is why i enjoy art.    

Further Development
I explored even further by challenging myself to make an object/sculpture from simple shapes, inspired by bass that could be in relevance to my theme, household items. Below, are images of my final design of my development. Here i created a swan, just by using lottery tickets. i must say, it took a very long time in creating as it was difficult to actually visualise how i want the swan to look like and turn out. Also, having reference of minimalistic work, i atempted to make the swan as simple as i could just so i wont get confused and make complications for myself. I am very happy in the way it turned out! an achievment that i will most certain take on in the future of designing. I have an authentic way of thinking towards this outcome as it doesnt really give out an up to date contemporary sense but more of a archaic mind. In terms of thinking, this to me, links to how now in society was obviously influenced by the society that was back in the past where art in general was built up in to how it is now, so having reference or elements to the history of something can really important as well. The use of lottery tickets was a really good idea as it gives out a more textured and layered effect rather than just plain paper for example that doesnt have detailed design, hence being plain!

Close-up shot of the outcome - texture, edgy look (bass inspired)Segment piece of the outcome, showing the connections.A single and simple triangular piece, initial start.
Now, i can officially use this within my house as a display! Thus, being a household item!

Secondary Source Inspired. //
Here are designs that i have created, influenced by secondary sources that i have scanned in from my journal. I personally believe that the outcome did not turn out as expected as it looks a bit too simple than minimalistic-like (opinionated) but i am content with it as it gives me a more open mind of how to keep my style broad a creative also my aim was to primarily try and create the designs below in the style of my secondary sources so i never really had intentions of creating it with my own style of development. I do like the idea of having typography rotated on the side, not just centred and facing us all the time. I have used the photos that i have taken of the 3d glasses and a pair of trainers to represent my personal study of household items. I have implementations of my artists style, such as saul bass’ use of having reference to his years of his designs, in this case i have imported my birth year of 1993 to represent my existence. In terms of typography i really do like to inject play on words to give it more of a friendly tone towards the outcomes/ ‘just kicks no punches’ i thought of and it may not seem correct, content wise but ‘kicks’ in a socialect meaning, means footwear so i took this on by linking it with the trainers that i used within the piece. 
 

 SECONDARY RESEARCH/ INLFUENCES.
Here are some secondary research and designs that i have uploaded from my journal that may have influence me in the way that i want to work. I may include some ideas from my secondary research into my own designs to experiment possible outcomes in which i could build up to a final outcome. This could be the influence of the design such as the texture, composition, layering, colours etc.

I really like the design within this graphics piece that i stuck in my journal. I like the use of big typography being the centre of attention within this piece. The design held by the person who created it must mean that the piece is deliberately created this way, therefore the words are deliberately rotated and palce side ways. I want to possibly experiment with such style and maybe interpret this within my own designs.

This is a graphic design postcard that was sent to me whilst researching for universities. I believe this design could be linked to the style of Barbara krugers by having a bold strong coloured background with an image that is supported by a quote. Very intersting and this style could possible be used within my developmentation.

Experimentation with Tokens
Here are tokens that i won when i was in an arcade loacted at Trocadero, Central London. I Specifically like the shape of the token and i thought i should experiment by placing them next to each other to create a certain pattern. This was done just to broaden my ideas of progressing on to my developments which hopefully makes me have a more narrowed idea of what to do as an outcome.




The use of repetition is the prominent element of what makes this photography as well as the design look appealing. It shows a sequence in which creates a sort of motion within the practical.
