My biggest challenges is to design things that express what do I think about and how can I achieve that. In my outcome,new technologies, especially the facilities in digital space and letter press, will play an important role.
Here is my process :
I find the machine of letter press very interesting and it is quite easy for me to use although i am a novice.I used it to print some words that I want to use in my project so that it will be more facile for me to create the shape of my words in my poster.
I used Indisign to draw my banner, I never use this before so it was difficult for me at the binging.Thanks to our teachers in Digital Space I finally learned how to use them and successfully finished.
Then I used the digital space ’printing machine to print my work.At first i even don’t know what the “heavy weight stock”mean and then with the help of our course leader and my classmates,I find the right place and then print my work out.
I think in this project I learned lots of new things such as use new machine and how to use indesign.They will be really useful for my art study in the future.but the one thing that I need to improve is during the producing of this poster,i think i was limited by my preliminary sketch.I want to draw more because i want to learn illustration and it is what I good at,but in the out come there is not many drawing in it, it is very pity for me this time.
The second thing that I want to improve is to predict what my work ’ quality before it was printed out.During this work,I had to print it again because it is not the color I want and it is not clear enough in the first time.i think it is a kind of waste.
