Project Evaluation

Summer Project Evaluation  Mindmap Evaluation For this is summer project I thought it was challenging at that points it's the fact that it's based on the current situation which we are all living in and it's challenging mentally in the sense of being able to complete this project as some of it has been a rollercoaster ride I've had ups and downs of this project I've had highs and I've had low points and it's it's also been challenging in the sense of trying to show you how I can relate to the current situation we are living in which is actually quite depressing and painful as well and I feel like this project because we are living in the moment it is doable and therefore it's relatable so I liked that aspect of this project that we are living in the project it's like we are what we create in this project for me this is sort of how I picture this project and it's quite literally close to home considering the fact that it is based on staying at...

Dear Diary...

TheDiary of a Quarantine Survivor  Dear Diary,                    I remember all the times I was once allowed outside... walking on the rustling leaves, running ragged in the mud, to touch the sand and make a sandcastle, to sing and dance in the rain and to meet friends for a late night pub crawl, All the times I was allowed to go and see a loved one, to hug and kiss a my close family and other loved ones and to explore the world and lap it up on holiday with the sun cooking us and enjoying the sights. The times I was allowed to sing HO HO HO, or trick or treat... and to go to work and uni like a typical human being. I can't even go out and make friends, by the end of the lockdown if it does end, I'm gonna have no friends in sight! But now it's now its no more! Now its time to kiss that good bye,  to say Adios and bon voyage to Liberty and to our freedom! As we say our prayers to the outside world as I know it... as in 3- 2- 1 ...

Makaton Posters

Posters in Makaton The idea behind this concept of posters is to create designs in Makaton, for those who doesn't know what Makaton is it's a form of sign language for those with hard of hearing, deaf or those who have speech and language disorders or any kind of learning difficulty where understanding verbal communication challenging.   I chose to design some poster designs in Makaton because I learnt some of the sign language in my Primary School and I learnt the Alphabet in Makaton and how to count and how to say good morning and good afternoon etc. Seeing as this pandemic is a globalised issue I did a PDF booklet on words stay home, stay safe and save lives in different languages across the world but seeing as sign language and Makaton is another language I wanted to try doing a couple of designs based on that so those who struggle with communication and have learnt sign language will understand some of the text. ...

Stay Safe Stay Sane

Stay safe, Stay sane After learning that one of the biggest things said and written on Posters about COVID 19 I decided to create some experiments so this bonus feature is showing some experiments I put together using those words, to see what I can come up with- using the Adobe programmes to help me create. This serise of experiments is inspired by the works of what I saw on the Stay safe, stay sane Poster website and thought I'd create some design concepts of my own.  Stay Safe, Stay Sane This design reminds me of one of the CBBC logo with the colour scheme of this design and the type design is similar but in a different font. The idea of the germ splats is an added detail with COVID 19 being a virus.  CBBC Logo See what I mean now?! Rainbows These designs are all experiments based on the design above... I used the rainbow background colours because rainbows was one of the biggest symbols of 2020, for supporting the NHS when we were in Lockdown. Here is a zoomed in ...
