Invention's project - Animation: Alex Bass

While only very loosly related to the invention theme now, this is based on the lightbulb, and their link with pears. The link is that lightbult in German, roughly translates to a combination of the words "glowing" and "pear", which became the basis of this animation.

The animation can be found here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Up-ORGU7eIg

Gulliver's Travells - Animations: Alex Bass

Below are the three animations I produced for the Gulliver project.

There are some problems with framerates and text not being dark/clear enough.

The idea was to look at the work of differnt artists and to do my animations in their styles.

T-Shirt Design Project- Kate Simpson

In my research I found out about high heel racing in different countries and found this particular image which I paired with the phrase 'head over heels'. I starting a t-shirt design using biro and then moved on to a larger ink painting which I continued to add to, ending up with this final colourful ink painting. I then went on to use this phrase as a tag line for a brand which I used on my packaging for the t-shirts.

After researching the stiletto heel, I produced several images based on phrases or ideas in it's history. This gold card is a response to the fact that the pressure under a heel is greater than that under the feet of an elephant.

Combining the heel with the stiletto blade it is named after.
Biro and Paint

Symbolising the term 'well-heeled' which used to refer to those of a high social status. 
Influenced by Luke Dixon, using ink.

Image is based on medical problems associated with wearing stiletto heels and depicts an x-ray of a foot whilst wearing heels. I used pencil overlayed with tissue paper and biro.



These images were observational drawings using coloured drawing inks which I allowed to bleed, and then added darker outlining using black ink when they had dried.

Hello from Adam, Jamie, Katie and Snowy

Hello Project: Alex, Sophie, Hannah, Matt and Alex

For our project we took inspiration from the different ways of saying hello; from the condesending teacher, to the patronising way we speak to pets.

Hello from Bex, Kate, Lizzie and Georgie

For our hello project we decided to look at letters as a way to say hello. We experimented with how people greeted each other in different times as well as how people say hello in different countries, and as a welcome to Britain we explored punk as something that is uniquely British but not very obvious. We also thought the postbox was a very British symbol.
