Visiting Warehouse Gallery

1.Good ones

  27 Daniella Cesarei, UK : Open Space. This photograph was taken in the middle of a shoot inside an office building in London. When the make-up artist requested to fix the models, my attention drifted to the window and I noticed the striking green expanse outside. Since taking this picture I have been working on a project capturing individuals within vast open spaces.

  I like this picture. Because the green very attractive to the eyes. In my hometown green color means hope, so the all the picture id green color means Infinite hope.

 23 Mahdi Razavi, Iran : Bubble on the water. This child was in a big, plastic waterproof ball that was fastened with a zipper, designed for children's play in shallow waters. She first entered the ball enthusiastically but as soon as the ball was cast in the water, she started screaming and calling her mother. Her mother who was sitting with the rest of the family at the beach, went to her child and tried to calm her down. Kish, Iran.

Creative Thinking For Designers - Re-design an advertisement

Evolution or Revolution
Task : Pick an advertisement (Print Ad, TVC, RC, etc ) of a known brand of any kind. Analyse how you can do it better.

  First i got four ideas saving water, saving electricity, Fur is murder, Do not cry （help Africa children). I want do some meaningful thing, so i choose help Africa children.

 I chose this advertising because the message are not really clear. I think the point is about no food, hungry, skinny, dies.

At first I thought with big eyes, belly, and background is map of Africa plate to express.

I used black and red color to a strong contrast and i want people attractive this poster. I design a map of Africa plate like bleeding， because they do not have a food and too many people died.

Museum Gallery And Heritage - The Cabinet of Curiosity

  Cabinet of curiosities, as known as Cabinet of Wonder, and in German Kunstkammer ("art-room") or Wunderkammer ("wonder-room"), is the original form of museum. At first it was a personal collection of things of wonder, mostly own by wealthy man. It contained both natural and man-made objects. They collected things that they found wonder and curious such as holy relics from a Spanish ship; earthen pitchers and porcelain from China; a Madonna made of feathers and a chain made of monkey teeth.

  The main function of cabinets was to provoke a sense of curiosity and wonder in the viewer instead of showing one man’s wealth. They displayed their owners' notions of Art (man-made artefacts), Science (natural artefacts) and Spirituality (sense of wonder at God's works) in a physical form. Collecting these items is not to analyse and classify that artifact but showing a world-view that valued the 'wonder' in an artifact.

  Cabinet of curiosities can be described as a microcosm or theater of the world, and a memory theater. They hold a lot of collections which are rare enough to be found in the other places. They always possess memories within them, like natural history, geology, ethnography, archaeology, religious or historical relics, works of art (including cabinet paintings) and antiquities. Each of the items represents the place where it came from and at the same time holds the memory of that place. If we interpret them, a lot of messages will be shown. They help you to experience the sense of wonder in all kinds of things in the world and discovering new and extreme examples of the natural and the man-made.

  Cabinet of curiosities means a lot to us. It’s very important for human and I think everyone should have their own cabinet no matter in what form. It should be stored by the things that mean a lot to us, and represent ourselves. We will always be reminded where we came from, and where we should head toward. It’s a connection between human and the world.

  Now at modern age, cabinet of curiosities can be performed in many ways instead of a “cabinet”, like blogs. People collect information, store and share them to the world, efficiently give full play to the spirit of cabinet of curiosities.

  As Samuel Quiccheberg (an eminent curator of cabinets) wrote: "The ideal collection should be nothing less than a theatre of the universe, it is the keys to the whole of knowledge."

Basic Digital Skills For Designers－Experience on scanning objects

  Task: Find a number of organic and non organic objects. Examine their properties, such as weight, texture, pattern and colour. Extract the patterns and textures and form them into a new image. Try working in black and white to experiment.

Used different objects to scan then you can get different texture and pattern. 

Color studies

Using the scans, photography etc. extract the colours you like, and create a Pantone, Palette, a CMYK palette and an RGB palette.
