This is the final product of my denim challenge.

I attached safety pins to the other side, again for decoration

# data[].attributes.body
I added small details along the way, such as this bow from ribbon and embroidery thread

# data[].attributes.body
I also decided to stitch the other end of the strips to the shorts instead of make them detachable using snap buttons, as I changed my mind from my initial idea and wanted the design to be permanent.

# data[].attributes.body
I sewed the strips to the bottom part of the jeans, using a backstitch for this.

Pinning the hem in place

Using the mid-section of the jeans, I cut out strips to use to connect the parts of the jeans together. Although I cut out 4 strips to use for both back and front of the legs, I decided to use 2 for the front instead.

# data[].attributes.body
I did this to both of the sections.

# data[].attributes.body
After this, I started working on the bottom of the jeans. I again pinned the hem in place, and this time I used a running stitch to secure it.

# data[].attributes.body
I also decided to embroider a small design on the front - both for decoration and for purpose to secure the fabric again.

I used a backstitch to secure the hem to the shorts.

# data[].attributes.body
For the shorts, I rolled up the ends of the legs and started pinning them in place as I would be sewing the hem and prevent the shorts from fraying.

# data[].attributes.body
I started off by cutting the jeans into 3 main sections - the shorts, the empty space in the middle and the ends of the legs.

To secure the pleats down and define the overlaps, I used a running stitch on each of them. I used a thinner needle to pin down the pleat to keep it in place as I stitched, then removed it once I was finished with that pleat.

# data[].attributes.body
To lay out and 'mark' where the pleats would begin, I used a backstitch.

Day 2 - Creating a 3-dimensional structure out of the slab

This is 'Cat's Pencils', my short animation of a cat encountering a misplaced pencil and returning it back to its home. The frame speed of my animation is 10 fps, and there are 118 frames.

Considering the 12 principles of animation introduced by Ollie Johnston and Frank Thomas, I had used several aspects within my work.

One of these was staging - the main 'character' is the cat, and the viewer focuses on how the cat discovers and solves the problem in front of it. Other items in the frames are kept still, except for the misplaced pencil that the cat returns.

A second aspect was timing - I tried to retain the fluidity of the cat and pencil's movement by positioning them in each frame at the same distance from the previous frame. This was to ensure it would look realistic as if it happened in real life.

My plush cat was able to change emotions by inverting it; I decided to use this for my animation as it would be a useful feature to help convey emotions, such as its angry expression when seeing the pencil and when it returns to being happy once it fixes the problem. This is another aspect which was appeal - I wanted to express emotions to the viewer through this way.

Posters, billboards, placards and signs are a form of public expression. As well as this, graphic design plays its part to influence and encourage the public to participate and get involved with the movement. Designers will use their abilities and creative skills to do this, displaying eye-catching graphics, images and logos to gain attention from the viewer and appeal to them. In this case, these methods are used to present how people need to come together and help to tackle the effects of climate change on our planet.

According to a NASA study on global climate change, the global temperature has risen 0.8 degrees since 1880, causing drought and heat waves. We have had very warm summers and mild weather in later months of the years; even though it’s November, we’ve had sunny weather and often not very low temperatures. Furthermore, a study released by The Cryosphere shows that in the 1990s, 760 billion tons per year was lost, but in the 2010s, it increased to more than 1.2 trillion tons per year. Additionally, the increased amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere from pollution gets dissolved in the ocean, therefore making it more acidic and causing extinction of aquatic wildlife. For example, anyone who has owned a pet fish knows that the pH of the water in the tank must be carefully controlled, if it is even slightly off, then the fish can die. The same applies to our oceans.

Our environmental movement is called ‘Change Ahead’. This has an ambiguous meaning; if in the positive way, it means that there is change ahead in our generation where we fight to tackle climate change and preserve the Earth. On the other hand, if meant in the negative way, it could be seen as a warning that if nothing is done to tackle climate change, there will be change ahead where the future generations will no longer live safely and have to deal with the damages climate change has done to the planet. The symbols within the logo represent how irreversible climate change is and that the damage it causes to the planet is permanent. Beverley had designed these logos; the middle left is the standard logo while the middle right is a more detailed version. The two on the outside were some of our other ideas.

Based on the initial logo, we wanted to get the public involved in our protest and contribute their creativity while being inclusive and accessible. Beverley and I designed some stickers and decals that we would be giving out to people who wanted to make their own posters, placards and signs. This would let them share their ideas and participate, while still carrying the meaning and intent of protesting for climate change. Beverley designed the sticker ideas on the left, while I designed the sticker sheet on the right. At the protests we would also be giving out boards and card for people to create their signs right in the moment of the event, also using the stickers we provided.

These are some designs that we had came up with, both as posters to display in public areas and as signs to hold up during the protest. As pictured, all of them feature our key logo: the reversible symbol with a cross symbol in front of it, placing significance on the impact on climate change on the planet. All of these designs were made by Holly, Beverley and Jasmine.
