I decided to crate the sign of a danger by using very bright colours contrasting with black and purple background.

Whenever I hear the word “DANGER”, I see a petrol station and someone smoking a cigarette, that image gives me a shivers straight away. Therefore, I designed a simple shape of a lighter contrasting with purple and black colours that symbolise petrol or a fuel.

Project: Visual literacy

Exercise : A vsual diary

Fun fun fun … My husband and his family were surprised looking at me during collecting some bits for this task. I was so obsess to find more and more different items that were representing the day or the invent I was a part of. For some people the items I was collecting were simply a rubbish however for me were a good idea for this exercise, for example a piece of robe from the boat I was sailing.

Q: What does this tell you about your own visual language and cultural awareness?

A :

The visual language should be easy to understand by a viewer and at the same time is honest and true of visual languages. In my Visual diary, I decided to concentrate on people, nature and cultural events that I attended. The black paper makes it even easier to read by a big contrast between the items collected by me.
