Today we had a crit with our friend about how the work looks.

On the first item that was to talk about the range of tecnhics my friends tought that I didn't had a lot of tecnichs and I agree with him. My work pass trow two tecniches that are digital drawing and handmade drawing.

On the clear messege item, my friend said that my publish have a well and clear messege, and the digital work enrence my own work. He likes the choosen of the colours and the paterns, he said that it was one of the most well sucessful thing on my work.

He said that I had a good finalization of work and the final outcome were well made, the digital one. The paper impression is well made and thats a good thing.

I had a well display work, mixing zine and poster and that way giving options for the audience to choose what they would like.

The price will the negociable.

When this project was presented to me, I thought of doing something that would represent me. Something I've been thinking lately. So I referred directly to my drawings that I had done in the daily drawing.
The drawings resembled an illustration of colorful geometric men.
When I received the briefing I soon thought of developing the illustration I had already begun to sketch and give her a new face.
With the beginning of the project I started to develop new ideas about drawing and think about how I would present it.
I tried drawing in a variety of ways. I tried watercolor, pens, pencils and others. But over the course of the week, I had to define a technique to apply.
The technique that was most effective for me was the digital tools, without them I could not have precision in my geometric forms. The initial idea was to use screen print for this but it seemed very difficult because I had to make four screens to apply the ink on it.
In this way, I started to think about what software I would use, I was more familiar with photoshop, but the illustrator proved to be more efficient at drawing what I wanted.
I had to turn around to learn to use the software, I showed difficulty in the beginning, after all it is not an easy platform to use, but with the help of some colleagues I was able to develop some drawings.
It took a while before I could get practice in the illustrator, I slowly got a rough sketch of what I wanted. But the big problem was in making the lines and aligning them correctly. If any line was crooked, the whole picture was impaired, and that was one of the biggest challenges I faced.
After aligning the line, the problem was to color each geometric piece I had of different colors, and put them in the drawing.
The choice of colors was difficult as well, but in the end the application tools helped me to solve this problem and I was able to make harmoniously matching colors, and put them together separately.
The great discovery of my work is to relate visual illusion and propositional composition.
In my drawings it can be seen that the combination of colors and geometric forms form manns in different positions, all angles of my drawing form somehow men.
And at the same time I created a drawing in which when looked quickly, it is a labyrinth. And that's what interests me most in this work, the ambiguity of graphic effects. At the same time that the color combination creates a maze it creates many men who fit into the others and form my complete design.
Within this labyrinthine theme and forms of men, I entered after much study the "Maze Men" logo that syntactically defines my project.

This project related a lot as my choose for the next step on part two that I think that will be the graphic design, at making this project I thought about other things that I could experiment on graphic design, and that's really excite's me. I think that would be really cool to lear how to do some timelapsing and animation things, but for now I want to lear more from design world, for the next year when I get more usual to softwares, maybe I can learn.

# data[].attributes.body
This first days were more for presentation and knowlodge for the BA corses.
It is excited to think about our next steps, and a hole new world open for us.
The graphic design presentation of JayGo really set me up, making me wonder about the multiples fields that design can take me.
Sometimes it is hard to make decisions, but for now, I will just continuous doing my projects, and having a open mind for whatwether came.

I got some inertial ideas for my publisher project. Today we made 30 ideas in 30 minutes. It was a good exercise to put our creative thoughts on practice. The most of my ideas came from the a idea that I had of drawing and making a zine or a screen print.
Now I need to take the initial step to develop what will be the project and how it will be presented.

Destroying Photos Project - Cutting - Photo 2

# data[].attributes.body
Destroying photos was very interesting because giving a new look to the photo is a new meaning. I thought first of cutting the photos and somehow giving them a new shape. I used inspirations like artist Justine Khamara who makes cutouts in the photos, and builds something totally new. I cut the photo into several pieces, like small ribbons.

My photo was of a woman with bra, and this way I could transform the image, putting fragments of the photo and somehow not sensitizing the woman, through its deconstruction and cut. I think I succeded in cutting the images. I got an interesting result in which I was able to create a new image with a new meaning.
Photography is something that really interests me. I intend to apply this in other projects and levat also to my professional side.
I like to use photography as a tool to do graphic arts and I want to try it in different ways. Both with collages, screen print, plain engraving and other things.
At the moment I am more interested in creating digital arts of illustration but over time I will perfect this technique and apply it in my projects of work and personal projects.

This project demonstrated good photo manipulation and a good way to move, add, subtract things in a photo. It was a project that added experience and expanded my field of vision regarding experimentation and new uses of techniques.
It was also good to learn how to design the project before applying it to my sketchbook, so you save time and avoid error.

Destroying Photos Project - Adding - Photo 1

# data[].attributes.body
This project was about destroying photos and making something like cutting, adding, or pasting. I enjoyed making this because I got good quality, composition and colors of photos to work on, and I was glad about the result of the project because I always see this technic of stiching on art fairs and I was anscious to putt stiching on practice.
My photo was two open hands, I initially thought of joining them somehow, after all the proposal was to add something to the image.
This way I thought of sewing both hands so they could be connected. I thought of sewing them in a visually interesting way and this referred me to a game that I played as a child called "cat bed" in which children put strings on their fingers and had to cross to win the game.
So then, I used this game as a reference to cross the lines in my photo.

On this project the idea was to make an analogic filter.
Something that we could apply to out smartphone or camera.

Because I didn't had a professional camera, I started making something that could fix on my phone.

We are always subjects to filters. When we are at the instagram we a a punch of filters that we are use to it. So the idea of making out own filter was nice, because we had a lot of references on social media that we could apply on out project of making an analogic filter

The first difficult I got was to produce something that stay static without falling, I solver this problem using "arame" through the phone.

The next step was to create something that gives me an effect on the camera, a texture for create a filter.

So I started making experiments, and I experiment a lot of types of paper, plastic and all transparent object and textures. I used my sketchbook to put some note and test that went right.

At the end I took some photos with my filter and It looks intrusting because of the effect that is produced.

# data[].attributes.body
In this project had to make a 3D object that supported a photograph of mine taken in the project 60 photos.
I had photos I took on a trip, I had good photos of nature and flowers, so I thought of how I could put the photo of a flower along with a 3D object that could together form an object only.

In this way I took a piece of wood that sent me to a branch and placed the photo of the flower on top of it.
So I created an object in which the base is an organic 3D object in which at the top has a flower that is a photograph, thus mixing two techniques and size types.
I like the way I could transform and give a new meaning to two objects of different dimensions and create one. A photography is made by paper and has no texture, and a piece of wood that has smell, texture gives the contrast I need to express what I wanted.

# data[].attributes.body
The project of making 60 photos was exciting.

On this project I could develop my technical skills of making photos and getting into the profissional camera preset, throught the briefing of the project that sugest us to make differents kind of photos.

I was already envolved with photography before the project, but the broefing was something that inspired me to experiment another forms of taking photographics.

I was glad about my final photos, I liked the composition and the good resolution that they got, the choosing of light and the right moment to take the picture are essencial.

You need to hava the feeling to percieve moments and things that normaly people go withouth noticing, and that the great thing of being a creative person and apply thoose knowlodges to photography.

Thinking about the photo composition is really important before taking it, photos aren't something that arrives espontanily, well sometimes it do, but the planing of the light, people, objects, is really important if you want to be a good photographer.
In the image presented below, I tried to explore the speed of the image and what is around it. It is noticed that the musician appears static and the people walking in the street of Av Paulista are all like figures, this was intentional to demonstrate the idea of movement and the amount of people who pass through it in the day to day.
I find this type of composition very interesting because I can play with the idea of figures and movement. There are many possibilities to make this kind of effect and that was one of them.

in this collage I tried to mix concepts, nature and man. Through visual elements cut out of magazines I had to turn around with what I thought.
Water is very present in the images.

In this project my theme was to preserve nature. Through the cut of magazines I began to find images of animals but the great majority of the photos were related to water and with that I had to solve the problem with the images that I had. It was difficult because I did not have the images that I expected for this collage, but this is interesting to make collages through magazines, you do not know exactly the image you will find and with that you have to deal with the unexpected.
In my collages I have tried to relate the question of man and nature, and their dependence and connection with one another.

Man has emerged from nature but has destroyed it, and this I wanted to emphasize in some way in my work.
I do not think I was very successful in the protest project due to issues such as defining the language and the specific theme, but I had to solve the problem and deal with what I had.

# data[].attributes.body
This project was to gather images from magazines or journal clippings to compose an image about our protest. The theme of making collages pleases me a lot, compose a poster with some random cuttings creates something unexpected and that call my atenttion.

My idea on this final piece is it through the background of the image that delimits two different colors, create a relationship between man and nature, putting man at one side of the image and nature at the other side of the image.

Demonstrating the dependence of man on nature and the animal instinct present in human. We are born from the nature so that we are the nature and that was my interpretation about the relation beetwem man and nature.
The brain means the inteligence of man, and how far we use our rational and intelligent side for good. How much man uses the brain for the consumption and the proriferation of capitalism without brake. This was one of the topics that inspired me to choose this theme about preserving nature. We come at a time in our society where we can no longer use our intelligence against nature, natural disasters and catastrophes are a response of nature itself regarding the action of men.

This was one of my final pieces, I liked the composition and the way that the colors divide de sides and divide the man and animals, the image of the baby crying represents a lot for me. It represents the unhappiness of the human being the chaotic world. And by the fact that is a baby, it relates the next generations that are born in a digital era and soo much fast information.

# data[].attributes.body
Today in the Protest project we made a poster about our theme, my theme is Preserve the Nature. We started thinking in one word, my word is"preserve", relating to the nature.
I thought about playing with the typography and the size of the letters, with some bigger and some smaller, giving a perspective to the poster. It was a good experience cutting stencils, I had some good letters format. My only problem was to make a sentence, because I had only one word.
Thta way my theme was a little bit broad and I was thinking on what could I put it as a prostest sentence. I had started with only "preserve" thinking about the world as all, but after a time, I started thinking on being more especific about what to preserve and I started thinking about animal, ocean, trees, and things that the humam being ain't preservin, more like a sustainability theme, as an ecossystem problem.

# data[].attributes.body
This week we work on The Prostest project, I made a protest about preserving the nature. My posters weren't the way I pretend, I got some dificult to follow the same typography on all posters, perhaps because of the lack of planning.
That way I think my posters don't follow the same patern.
At this project I couldn't found a line to follow, that way my final pieces are kind of general about the theme that is preserve the nature, but preserve what? just animals? just ocean? I couldn't find a single subtheme to express my work on it.

On my posters I mixed a lot of techniques like collages, stencils, illustration, and screen print. But even experimenting all this techniques I wasn't glad about my outcomes, because of the unfollow patern and the indefinite subject. If we had more time for this project maybe I could define a better focus to my theme.
Although the project did not go the way I wanted, what I learned was that even if the project did not go as planned, you can not give up.
The fact that I continued to do it, brought me the experience so that in the next few times I plan more action before doing it.
That is, something always adds something in our life, whether for good or evil.
For the next projects I intend in my sketchbook to make the necessary plans of typography, patterns, colors and others.

The multiplicity of letters, colors, and mix of techniques did not bring me the result I hoped for but created something interesting as a final piece in which my project succinctly presents itself as a protest

# data[].attributes.body
This week was productive. The letter design was unveiled new trajectories. From the idea to the paper my letter was changing and gaining new forms.
In creating a 3D letter I choose to do something organic, that remind me nature and the simplicity of things that are already build at a letter form, that way I build my letter with leaves and branches. All the organic objects that I used I found walking on the street and bring to the studio.

The execution was sucessful, I got only two problems that was gluing the sheets without showing the glue and leave the object standing without supporting the wall. Them I used hot glue and solved the problem of showing the sheets, and I prefer to stand the 3D letter on the wall them stand it by a piece of wood.

It was very interesting to build this project. At first I was thinking of putting something up with building materials like pipes and things that were curved and somehow could give me the curve present in the letter J.
When walking in the street looking for objects, in a square I found totally organic and natural objects. I could see that nature gives us many things that are curved and can serve as the curve of the letter J, so I changed my perception and so I began to collect organic pieces. The initial idea was to mix organic parts and "man-made" pieces but realized that visually the blend was not going well.
So I started to decorate my piece of tree with leaf and build a letter that was 100% organic. I was satisfied with the result and found that the natural composition became viasely beautiful.

Letter Screen Print - Movable Type - Photo

# data[].attributes.body
The experience of making screen print was good like to try new techniques and open field of vision.
I chose to make some different colours with the roller and make something experimental. It was sucessful, I liked my typography and the colours balls giving a pop language for the letter.
The experience of creating the design of your own letter by itself is something very interesting. The big thing on this experimentation was creating backgrounds for the letter, that could give a different visual language on each of the imagem on below.
I had the opportunity through the techniques of serigraphy and ink roller to create new experiments.
Variation of colors and formats create different visual effects. What I'm trying to get close to now is the question of color palettes and how I can apply them in my designs to create something that can be impactful and perceptible without hurting the eyes. That way using my research file and sketchbook I can handle this and over time perfect myself.

# data[].attributes.body
The typology project is been amaizing. I designed my own font for the letter J, and after we did screenprint and stencils on at. I did well on the collors, creating backgrounds that mix two colours, giving a nice space to put the letter om it. My letter design was sucessfull, I could make a stencil and print on it. I like the way my letter J create a drawing with the format of it. I had some problems with the limits of the stencil, were the paint blurred some little areas, but I was glad about the final pieces and the graphic way that they comunicate.

I like the way the "simple" one becomes interesting. Often it is not necessary that there is much information in an image so that it is good. Teacher Ana helped me "know the time to stop" not to put too much information. And that applied to my outcomes below, the background divided into two different colors and the letter in the middle were what was necessary for me to achieve the result I wanted.

This project really call my attention. It relates to graphic design and is what I want to do as BA, so I could pull to the side that I like. I used the visual language I like, making colored backgrounds divided into two so I put something in the middle, the typography, which is also something I like, the way I can transform letters into drawings and get them out of their common place of writing.

# data[].attributes.body
The monotype and drypoint exercise today was exciting. The experience of drawing on different things was good to learn how to deal with wathever you got.
The Charlie Watson palestry was really inspiring, he talked about the commitment with doing a creative work and don't give up on it, and he talked about the progressive growth by doing repetitive things like drawing or playing the guitar.

# data[].attributes.body
The apresentation day was good. I got a lot of feedbacks that help me to reflect about my work. The feedbacks weren't bad, but also they weren't very critic.

I was glad about the work I did during the week, I think that my numbers photos were well taken, they had a good resolution. The choice of making a grid with the photos was something that I had already did, and that makes me more confortable with the subject. I had some references like Bernd and Hilla Becher that inspired me to do that.

The choice of putting all photos together at a door, was intencional, it gives the real meaning of my project, that are houses numbers, and nothing better than putting them on a proparly place, a door, were they come from.

In the end I chose to put some repeated pictures on the wall and just to show that I am always going through them and give the feeling of repetition, after all I go to college walking.

# data[].attributes.body
Today I started thinking about a draw of my collection.
At first I made it a draw using guache ink  for the background and stencil of the numbers to cover it. I had a little difficulty to manage the inks and the water, so it wasn't what I expected.

My second draw was a collage in colour paper, using numbers, like on my photos. It was better, I fell more confortable making collages and gluing, that is something I'm used to it.

The time was a little bit short for me. For the next time I will think less and experiment more, that way I won't loose many time.

The collage outcome for me was sucessfull, it makes a synthesis about my collection work and shows the mix of colors and different typhography numbers shown in my photos.

# data[].attributes.body
My colletion is about making photography of the houses number. I had to define my theme because I had a lot of photos and I could make more than one collection. My challenge now is it to organize the numbers photos that I have, and make it something visual intresting.
I chose to make numbers photos because thoose are numbers from my neighborhood and I am always walking at these streets.

Its really intrusting to experiment a tecnhic like photography, and I liked walking on the street making photos of houses and numbers, I could make more projects that relates to photos and apply design graffic and composition on them.

Presentation Method

1. Decision
I started putting a random order of my photos on the wall and the collum.
It wasn't really good for viewing it.

2. Decision
My second option was putting the photos on one collum.
That way it changes the perspective about the collection.

# data[].attributes.body
In this project we made clothes and props using paper.the proposal was to make an accessory for every part of the body, hands, feet, and head. I started experimenting with ways to fit the paper in the other without using glue and staple, but I did not have much success in that. I did something that looks like gloves using staples to glue the pieces of paper, then I made a hat and a tennis shoe. In the end I realized that they needed one more design, so I pasted some colors that I thought they matched like yellow, orange and red.
As time was short I had to hurry a little and the project was not as it could but for the time that was given I was satisfied with my development and execution of the outcomes.

Working with the paper is not something that is accustomed but this was cool because I was able to get out of my comfort zone and deal with problems, or rather solve them. And that fits a lot with the profession I want to follow, the problem solver, a designer, and so I have to be always aware of what I get and whatever material is given in the briefing
