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.

Project : Understanding colour

Exercise : Understanding colour

 

Two colours that I like are brown and green as they are close to the nature; they keep me calm and compose.

Two colours that I dislike are very bright orange and pink, as they tend to shout from the distance.
