WEEK 6 - HIVE SIDES

24/03/2014
I received back my project proposal and it needs some adjustments; therefore I spent the morning completing the adjustments to be handed back for approval. I agreed with my feedback on my project proposal and for what needed to be fixed. In the afternoon I started my second mood board, for this one I have focused on geometric shapes and patterns. I managed to print off a varied amount of images and enough images to fill A2. I managed to halfway complete this second mood board by arranging and attachment all of the photos. So far I am liking this mood board and hope to finish it tomorrow on my day off.

I the morning as part of my Unit 10 module I was asked to research and try out different fonts suitable and not suitable for a business card, this is because in following weeks I will lead up to producing a minimum of 10 corporate and 10 creative business cards of my own that will support my FMP.
 
In the afternoon in my own time I decided to finish my second mood board so that I can begin one of my visual sheets. The image below is of my completed second mood board, I added gouache paint to the areas where images were not larger enough to cover. Even though I am happy with this mood board, I would like to of made it appear more tactile; however if I have any spare time I may work back into it. I feel for now it is clear what is represents, which is geometric shapes and patterns.
 
 
This image below shows the colour palette I used to fill the white area's. I tried to keep the colour vibrant and linked to the images on this mood board.

At home on my day off I decided to make a start on my first visual sheet. I have based this visual sheet on Honey bee's and the geometric connecting shape of a hexagon. I feel I have made a positive start to this visual sheet and hope to make further progress on Friday (28/03/2014).

Today I decided to carry on my first visual sheet adding more sections and layers. In the afternoon I decided to have a break from my visual sheet and carry out some techniques, I decided to do needle felting. As part of my Honeybee mood board and my relating visual sheet I have incorporated 2 Honeybee stencils which I have recreated using the needle felting technique. The felt fibers I have used I've tried to link to my colour theme, I have also used Angelina fibers and an unknown fabric to add texture to the wings. The image below shows my final outcome I produced using this technique. In previous project's where I have carried out needle felting I have not enjoyed it; however for this I have and I am extremely pleased and impressed with myself at how well I have produced this outcome.
