Think Pair Share:
What is Victore really saying in this demonstration about how to approach design and creativity generally?
Do you like it? why or why not?
Do you think you could do this type of creative design work?
Find a creative quote from Victore? Compare your selections and why have you made the selections?
So where does this design attitude come from? Let's investigate some cleaver creatives and design movements that made us view the world and design differently, that have made and left a 'mark'.
Activity 2: Research one of the following creatives or topics and provide a key image and brief analysis on your journal? First let's look at a few of them together!
(James Victore, Stefan Sagmiester, David Carson, Nick McFarlane, Banksy, Shepard Fairey, Paula Scher, Aie Wei Wei, Marian Bantjes, Social Cause, Authentic Design, Grunge Design, Punk Design, Jamie Reid)
Activity 3: Using felt pens or ink and brushes or similar hand generate your name and a graphic that represents you emotionally? Digitise the result and place the image into Photoshop and try out some manipulation techniques. Also take a phone photo of yourself and include this in your explorations and bio page. Try to combine your graphic with your bio image. You can continue with this exploration for homework.
