Illustration is for most parts the funnest subject but this assignment I felt it to be unrelated and not so enjoyable. Only when we had to present did I realise it was about expanding our conceptual thinking. We first had do create a visual mind map, I personally dislike mind mapping and brain storming so I decided to make my text into a picture. Next we had to hunt down the oldest looking photograph in our family albums and creatively insert a timeline into the photo. This task emphasised my lack of knowledge about family affairs which resulted in learning interesting facts such as my granddad's uncle won a gold medal in the 1908 Olympics. Impressive!

Iconic ME
I LOVE SLEEP! Anyone who knows me, knows to wake me up, is to perform a miracle. Last week sleep was extremely rare in my life but as any graphic student knows the feeling you get when all your hard work comes together exactly how you want it to, it's all worth it.
The first project we received as second years required us to do something I despise: self-evaluation. I prefer to go with the flow and keep things simple but I'm also a diverse person, changing my mind every five seconds. I decided this project was going to be a nightmare but yet again I was proved wrong. I thoroughly enjoyed it!
Our assignments this year link all our subjects; this is how "Iconic Me" was broken down:
Corporate Identity (Visual Communication)
Iconography (Practical Design)
Identity (Conceptual Studies)
Photographic Me (Photography)
Digital Me (Digital Design)
Big, very big! So I am going to do individual posts for my work.

Neon Edge
My very own font: Neon Edge.As a SDC student, normal, average and ordinary are not part of your vocabulary. For this assignment we were told to find and take pictures of everyday objects that resembled every letter of the alphabet, not knowing the reason behind it. At the end of our alphabet adventure we were forced way out of our boxes by developing our font according to the pictures we had taken, every little detail had to be considered. Oh, and we had to do it by hand.
