Ashling literally added another dimention to her graphic design by actually making ceramic pears and photographing them for her campaign image. I think combining model making into a graphic design scheme could be a good way to make it a more approchable subject then it is a the moment, especially when considering the younger age groups.
This is also a good example of a work space.
Andrews atmospheric photography accompanied by witty captions makes for a memorable campaign, if a little obscure.
Above are a few illustrations from one of Suzannes prelim sheets about the threat of invasive species. The sheet displays a few ideas and development. There is also an emerging continuity with the colours used.
Anne designed a bag, badge and rubber intended to generate awareness about the preservation of woodland that includes diciduous Yew Trees. Her slogans were simple and catchy, appealling to adults and children alike and her imagery is very inviting even bordering on christmassy! Also her use of hand made paper was very appropriate considering the theme and again added to the appeal of her design giving it a tactile quality.
Stacy's campaign to promote Limerick Bike Week is finished to a very professional standard and it is very interesting to view how her ideas and designs evolved from initial concept to various ideas and
finally her finished design. Her work oppitimised in my view, how graphic design is executed and finished in the proffessional world but fairly unattainable in the classroom environment.
Gillian used a van template, which ment she had to take into consideration and work within the constrates this created. I think the idea of using a template like this wether it be for some kind of vehicle or a format for something more simple like a postcard could make a graphics project in school more relevent to the pupils.
Davids Mc Grath's design demonstrates an effective use of stenciling, layering the images one on top of the other giving the image depth. I think his choice of colours is also relevent and eyecatching.
David was another designer who made effective use of stencils. His image comprises of recognisable symbols and simplified cutouts creating a very graphic and understandable image through the use of his negative and positive single colour scheme. Although i did wonder did he forget to put in a door?
Micheals poster communicated a very clear and direct message minimising the chance of
mis- interpretation by the viewer. Also his choice and rendering of typography was bold and appropriate.
