4. The Stencil

In this workshop, we created stencil drawings and typography on card and painted them onto card. I think it was fun doing the drawing but by the time I started typography, I did begin to feel the strain on my hands from the cutting so the cutouts was bit rough. However, it gives it good effect especially with the way i painted it in red. The texture can pull of like it's blood. Here are my images from the workshop below:

4. Character Design

In this Cinema4D, we created a character and made a short animation of a rotation. This was interesting to make because we got to build it from scratch so it was interesting to see how it all came together.

3. The Posterzine

In this workshop, we created more posters and zines only this time focused on our face. We were given our ID image to begin with and we deconstructed our face. Then we got some textured paper and re-created an image of us using the tones on of the texture. We also had our faces scanned against the scanner. Here are some of my images from the workshop below:

3. Cinema 4D Packaging

In this workshop, we created packaging on Cinema 4D such as a drink can and bottle. This workshop was good because we got an experience of how we can design our own 3d packaging on Cinema 4d and then make it look real with textures and shadows. Here are some of the images i've created below.

Here is a design I've incorporated within this workshop using the same Cinema 4D file. I've created my own 'XO' energy drink that's been a common theme within my process and production work. The can is matte black that was inspired by this monster can. I've kept the design simple to demonstrate how the product looks within my own mockup.

3. The Hand

XO'' -The Hand from Faisal Islam on Vimeo.

So from my sketchbook, I've decided to use this XO as part of my designs and collaborate it between theory and p&p because it's one of my main interest points. This is an animation that was mainly focusing on handwritten drawings being looped with some additional effects. I've also included The Weeknd's 'Starboy' Instrumental from a copyright free website.

Here are my drawings below that are 3 same images but with slight changes to form movements.

2. The Poster

 

In this workshop, we were cutting out letters to make up a poster that is part of music lyrics. We did individual posters then a group collab where we all assigned a line or two. This workshop was good because it made me think about layout and fitting all the content in. This will help me when I create posters in the future.

1. Zines

In this workshop, we had Christian introduce Zines to us. This workshop was great to learn how to make paper zines. I will be considering zines/brochures for my final outcomes for my studio project. We were experimenting with drawing information we hear, this was quite interesting because it created a storyboard telling a narrative.
