ASSESSMENT 01- TASK A THATS RUBBISH! 

After Thoughts 

I believe my final piece shows how i perceive rubbish. I created a tower of rubbish that seems to be living and growing much like the rubbish I see when I walk to university. Each and every time I woke up there seemed to be more. This piece represents the growth of rubbish as a single entity that has come to life from objects I found around my neighborhood. Having it presented in a tower form allowed me to adapt my alphabet on to each and every single coffee cup. I wanted the text to be crisp and clean much like the logo's that had been on the cups before I photoshopped them. Giving that strong contrast between the blobby explosions of grime that collects on the thrown away materials and the strong letterform of the alphabet allowed me to adapt both elements as one. This piece shows clearly the rapid evoultion of rubbish and the "life" it presents aswell as adapting the elements of the alphabet.

Definition of Rubbish and ideas

Rubbish in my eyes can be seen as treasure to another, so I have to make sure to choose items I believe rubbish to be anything that is not useful to me on a personal level. that I truly deem as “Rubbish”.  I live very close to a McDonalds restaurant from which most of the rubbish I know comes from. On my usual walk to university I come across various bottles and cups that have been littered along the paths I travel. I want to incorporate these cups and bottles in a way that I see them. Each and every day there seems to be more and more cups accumulating along my walkways giving me this sense that rubbish is “growing” and “piling up”. From these few key words I want to be able to create a living rubbish tower from the empty McDonalds cups I find in my neighbourhood.  I will collect what I can find on my usual walk from my house to Vic University. To incorporate the alphabet side of the assessment I will use it as a form of branding on various rubbish items I find.  Usually when I see rubbish like cups, bottles and bags they all seem to have a logo on them from which they originated. I want to eliminate any connection from which the rubbish came from and harness it as a universal form of rubbish such as a “Used Coffee Cup” not a “Used McDonalds Coffee Cup”. I believe this creates rubbish as a single entity not various forms of identifiable logos mish-mashed together in an image. What I am going to create will be from rubbish objects that exist within the neighbourhood I live in. Now all I have to do is collect them and bring them home to be adapted into my assessment.

...3D TEXT... 

Another great tutorial. What I got most out of it was the appliance of texture to text and the creation of realistic clouds.

Week02_Workshop_04

...RETRO EFFECT... 

I loved this tutorial. It was really easy to create and that grunge like texture we can see through the image really gives it that depth and realism. I was trying to replicate this effect for years until I was taught how the other day.
