Weather Report

I created a theme of icons for the initial weather report and then choose the typeface to best fit with my icons and then created the different screens. While creating the different screens that all showed either a hierarchy, location, time, category or even alphabet it was difficult to also think ahead to how one screen who shift into another and what components would have to stay and leave and the whole process was very insightful.

Visual Identity: Mark

Within the greenbelt, aside form it being a place of escape, it also is a place of adventure. And when you think of adventure everyone sees it differently. This mark helped to represent the emerging into freedom and into a place of adventure, each side of the triangular shape is a kind of adventure. It has greenery, water and rocks all to represent the different kinds of adventures you can explore and enjoy at the Barton Creek Greenbelt.

Process Research

With a wide variety of pictures from my location, The Barton Creek Greenbelt, they all capture the different faces of the greenbelt and even show some of the people who visit the area (dogs). All the information gathered for this particular spot (pictures, sounds, writing, research) had all helped to lead me to the conclusion that the greenbelt is a place of escape from everyday life.

Plotter Lesson

      

Creating your own rules and restrictions to make your own system was a challenge in itself. I wanted to create animal silhouettes but with shapes within those outlines to give it more depth and even my own spin of personality. Alternating between silver, bronze and gold pens gave it even more variety.

Zine Lesson

My phrase was simple, my idea to make my phrase stand out was also simple and the mixing of the red and blues helped to make this work. A first experience with the risograph and one to remember as the options seemed to be small but really were vast and uncountable.  The texture behind my words is a close up image of feathers and helped to give more life to the message I was trying to get across.

Style Lesson

A detailed look into what was first thought of as preppy and what punk used to be then making the worlds meet in a preppy punk style. Having bright and simple clean cut clothes for preppy it fit the handbooks description well and ragged dark worn clothing was the definition of what punk is.
