Mid Term Break & Back Into The Swing of Things
February 29, 2012Our last Thursday night class did not go ahead as we had finished everything and submitted our work the week before. Another competant grade for me.
This meant we had two weeks off and last week I was forced to have off thanks to a durable migraine (curse those things).
During my break I worked on a retro cycling poster for a local competition that is being run as part of the World Cycling Track Championships (image at the end of this post). I was about 90% happy with my effort, but compared to the entries that have made it onto the host’s website, my work looks woeful. I entered this competetition as I am a pretty passionate cyclist and figured if I could not come up with a half decent entry, there would not be much hope for me as a graphic designer. Hmm, stick to science?
This term we have a new lecturer and it appears we are working on the same subject both nights – produce an architectual drawing in ink and wash, produce and black and white technical (cut away?) drawing and use the airbrush tool in photoshop to render something shiny, like a car or a piece of bike porn.
