Fil-Med

Last year Portmouth University decided to hold the first ever media student conference, Fil-Med - 'For the students, by the students'. I was part of the Design and advertising team. the image above is the initial vision we had for the poster campaign. My drawing isn't great but you get the gist. The image on the right is the final poster, I think the final poster is very accurate to our vision for the poster.

The Creative Process

These pictures are from a first year university project called creative processes. We were required to express

our creativity though a self-portrait. The purpose of the finished product was to inform the viewer about who I am. I didn't really like the idea of having to take pictures of myself so I just took one picture and used the same image to experiment throughout the whole of my journal. I used Photoshop to experiment with layering and took some pop art type inspiration from Lichtenstein, but in the end I opted for my own line drawing.

I printed a picture out a picture of myself and then with a fine black marker I drew over my features. I then framed the picture in the middle of the page and drew around my face. I included images of things that related specifically to me such as my iPod with the song I was listening to while working. I included my digital Canon IXUS5C camera which I brought in my first year of A-level and still use now. My favourite film, my student ID card, a logo of Quorn (I am a vegetarian and couldn't live without Quorn), a flag and Sikh symbol, my old Nokia phone and a clapper board. I then cut it out and tried to create a 3D effect by sticking it onto some black card with thick double sided tape. The finished outcome looks better than I predicted and I still have it hanging up in my bedroom.
