Visual language; what is a line? journals.

Sabrina Ward Harrison

Another style I have looked into is journal. Usually journals are personal to the artist who created them and have a handmade look about them which adds to this personal factor. I feel this would really suit my own work as my work is going to be about me and the key events that have happened in my life. Journals are usually a mixture of text and image and theres not really any consistency throughout the books so it makes them look more interesting. I think the work of Sabrina Ward Harrison (above) is interesting because its quite playful, colourful and generally really nice to look at. 

Visual language; what is a line? deconstructionist research.

Here i've found a few examples of deconstructionist graphic design. I've considered using this style because i'm working with type and it makes pieces look really interesting and modern. There are various different ways to deconstruct text too so this would mean i'd could experiment a lot with my own ideas. Some pieces are very subtle and others are more obvious but both look just as good. 

Visual language - photography workshop.

I reviewed the images i'd previously looked at in my colour theory sessions and because my given colour for this project was violet I focussed particularly on these images. The ones that stood out most were the yellow on purple and vice versa. This was a starting point for the direction I could take. 

I also had to consider the shades of violet I was going to use in my imagery as there is quite a few, I could also use a range of these shades for a more visually engaging series of photographs. 

Looking at the colour wheel showed me that violet and yellow were opposite therefor they would have good contrast and possibly present interesting results when photographed more thoughtfully together. This in a way made a decision for me in using two colours in most of my visual investigation. 

Visual Language; the impact of colour in graphic design.

Here i've found various examples of graphic design where colour impacts upon the design.
