Graphic Design Semester A Uni work

Hey guys... here's my work that i did for Semester A, i will be showing my research and ideas at a later stage...

i will start by showing my work Chronologically...

Quotes Poster A3:

Unfortunatly i lost loads of data on my memory stick and lost my PDF file of my A1 poster. so i can only show it physically... at this current stage i am redoing the piece, and focussing more on the important dates in graphic design history.

Postcards of My London:

These are the eight postcards that reflect "My" London. i have also expressed with the quote "This is my london". i have used, English, French, German, Spanish and Japanese to relate that London is full of many diversities, so essentially it is my london, but everyone else's. there may be someone that has the same view about london that i do, but come from another country...

We were also given a Photographer to research and create graphics in the same style. unfortunately i do not have it, but i do have some information on my photographer.

Brassai - Signature

Also known as Gyula Halász, Brassai was born in 1899 and created sculptures, films and photographs mainly focusing on eerie serene images of Paris during the early hours of the morning. A quote reveals why he took images in the early morning, "it allows me to seize the Paris night and the beauty of the streets and gardens, in rain and mist". He took images of people, still life and used lighting from streetlights to excentuate the mood.

The World At Stage:
what a toughie...lol while everyone else had sorted a group out, i was one of the unlucky ones with no group until the last weeks of Semester A. I along with Christian, Fola, and Reza, have been working on the Corporate Identity of the Estate Agent company, and focussing on artwork for their rented Gallery. Titled: "Vivid Ambience: Serenity, Colour and Mood". There may be some incorrections in the way we approachjed this brief. but hopefully by the end of the term we will have everything sorted.

My Business card:

These are some images that are being presented at the Gallery Exhibition;

well...i guess, for now thats it...

[ To Be Continued...........]

Group Project : Professional Practice; Codename- C.U.B.E

hiya guys...well...
i had a presentation of my groups work recently...

well...you might wonder what its about..
so lemme tell you...
C.U.B.E stands for Carbon Utilizing Basic Extraction.
its a fictional device that uses recyclable objects, compresses them, extrating carbon molecules and such, and creating energy to power up your house, to your car, to your laptop..
more info will be put on soon..

Round-up on the stuff thats been happening since my last post

as it says above...

well.. how has every1 been?
hope you are all good etc...
recently went to the London MCM Anime Expo at Excel. and yes as always i had a wonderful time meeting people, taking pictures and spending my hard earned money on stuff... and to top it off, i met a few cast emebers from Heroes! one thing i can say, it is that Greg Grunberg aka Matt Parkman is a legend. he is not like a typical celebrity...he likes to interact with the fans and always has a smile on his face...

Uni:
Uni has...been going quite smoothly (in a sense).
my wednesday and thursday lessons are going pretty good.
everything is planned, researched, designed etc.
im having a problem with my monday Critical Concept essay, which has to be complete by 6th December(may sound like its far, but it truly aint). i wanna get it out of the way, but my effort to actually get it done is missing..lol..i might try and find it soon. =]

i guess another thing is to show you my images of artwork, designs that i have done..
and instead of actually putting them onto this blog, im gna hyperlink it to my DeviantArt page.. =]

Jazzy =]

So it begins...

heya peeps, and i welcome you to my first post of a whole lotta random stuff to do with things as music, Final Fantasy RPG franchise and of course Anime...

Did you say a Final Fantasy VII remake?
uh huh...you read it... It seems that Tetsuya Nomura and his cohorts down at SquareEnix really do want to make this dream a reality. Recent news is that there was a special announcement revolving around the FFVII remake. So when it finally came to Tetsuya to reveal the surprise; lo and behold it was not entirely what people wanted to hear. The big news was that on the release of the "Final Fantasy Advent Children Complete" on BluRay, there would be a FFXIII playable demo! 2 hours of it in fact.... There are also added bonuses. FFXIII Versus images and trailers + FF Agito trailers and gameplay. The film itself has been extended from 140 minutes to around 180 minutes.

FFXIII + FFXIII Versus:
Theres so much that is missing, so i cant write much on them. FFXIII will be out later next year in Europe. The Protagonist is "Lightning", a strawbwerry blonde haired woman who is rumoured to be fighting against the "Cacoon". Not much info on that yet...but when i hear more...ill post it...
And with FFXIII Versus?... I personally prefer VersusXIII to XIII. It gives the essence of FFVII and the storyline behind it is intriguing.

FF Dissidia:
DISSIDIA!!! whoa!
now this game, for the PSP... amazing...
those of you that have ever played Ergheiz on the PS1 will love this installment to the final fantasy collection. Based upon the "warriors of Light" and "warrriors of Darkness", they fight to claim dominion over "Gaia". There are a few clips showing gameplay similar to a "beat em' up" genre, but you can also use magic and deal out devastating combos and limit breaks. Some characters have been named, but there are a few who might be included.

Anime

Code Geass ZOMFGROFLFTWness!!!
if you have been watching code geass till the end of R2 you understand what i mean. I'd like to hear from you about your views on whether there will be an R3 + ideas on what it could be about.

The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya:
I know, I know...its a "tad" girly...but needless to say its rather interesting and funny. The second series will be coming out soon in japan...so keep your eyes peeled if your interested.

lastly on my anime list:
Who here remembers FMA aka Full Metal Alchemist?
A little birdy told me that theres a..... second series coming out in the not so distant future..... =] im looking forward to that...

The Music scene...:
(NB... i only talk about alternative music... no brapp brapp gangstaness)

Flobots-no Handlebars
Quite a political song, derived from both Rage against and Rise against...lol
the rhythm to this tune is deep and flows correctly. the verses, although they are rapped are pretty decent..check them out...

Metallica
yep...they brought out another Album and single.
This time they are as people usually are heading towards... POLITICAL!
the lyrics of being drowned in nonsense, war and hate sparks riffs that are mindblowing, and yet still represent the band.

Slipknot havent hung themselves yet
nope they have released another great album of angst.
psychosocial gives a great rhythm and shows the struggle a child has as he is brought up into a world like what we have now if not nurtured for.

and finally...



HEROES Season 3!!!
what a way to start the beginning of the season. whod've thunk it...lol
things are turning out to be pretty nasty as the episodes carry on.... some things we thought we'd never see and things we really want to see... ha haaa...lol

thanks for taking your time reading this...

the one, the only Jazzy... =D
