10 graphic products

Crit feedback
Hannah's feedback to my work was positive, she gave me advise on how i can balance out my designs, and perhaps alter a few designs so that they are less time consuming.

Hot dog publication

My theme to continue was the letter A from the sessions with Amber, I thought of sticking with something simple and incorporating 'the ace of spades' with 'anatomy' to create a fun skeleton hot dog book. 
Here are a few starter images and vectors i started off with:

Design process:
Here are a few designs i have drew based around colour theory and the light spectrum, i think this is a good starting point as photography needs light to capture imagery.

10 graphic products / Plan of action

PLAN
After i researched 100 things you need to know about photography techniques, i realised and was intrigued by how much technology has an influence to modern photography, images than you see in magazine, newspapers, book or even on the web, digital photography has a large hold over images we are used to seeing today. I like the progression of photography, from the understanding of light, how an images can be embedded, camera obscura to the invention of film photography all the way to todays digital slrs. And in my opinion 1st place goes to apple for the 'cool camera' on a mobile phone to have. There are many ways to take an attractive images, and the ability to do so as a photographer sometimes takes practice, sometimes a fantastic camera which does all the work for you.


From this observation i have decided to look further into dslr cameras, as an art student i love my slr, like any other, i am hoping to broaden my knowledge of the most popular cameras around, and what adaptors and filters there are to make imagery techniques look that little bit cooler.

** RESULTS
My were very vague, they esstimated that a paper based filter design for an slr ca,era wouldnt work or last long enough as a product, there fore i am going to continue to research and develop my ideas.

Initial idea 1
Here are a few designs i introduced to my peers in the crit, i explained my diy idea, to 'create your own technique' make a a filter for your camera to create  effective light spurs on your images.



Or perhaps deconstruct a film camera to expose shapes in the images as an alternative technique.







I received positive feedback in the crit, the idea was good however the filters themselves wouldn't last long only being paper based, especially if they were to be used a lot.
Here is a quick mind map i made of the feedback and new ideas, i am quite keen to look into the area of pinhole cameras, do something practical/stylish and effectively a working camera.
