Sugar it is!

A2 Graphics coursework project. 

The idea behind this was to 'Make a Difference' in terms of health advertising and the particularly current issue of sugar tax. Initial experiments began with research into the development, adaptation and the morals behind advertising through time - most of this research focuses on the tobacco and cigarette industry. This was accompanied with a visit to the Brand and Packaging museum, London. This concept of the development of health advertising was used in a accompanying essay 'A comparative study into past and present advertising'; where I compared these past examples with modern campaigns such as Change4Life.

With high focus on Sugar Tax and Jamie Oliver's recent work to get this recognised. I developed a campaign that highlighted some of the important facts about sugary/ fizzy drinks. This was styled in a very graphics and gruesome way. In this project the graphics were created from an initial series of photoshoots - which I also had a go at creating this graphic cut and skin irritation - then transferred into Adobe Illustrator, where I self taught myself this illustrative block shape way of developing a face or object. To add to the brand/ campaign identity, I used the hazard symbolism to develop a logo and focusing on Coca Cola, a individual hazard symbol for each type of Coca Cola. In addition, I designed a landing page for the campaign which outlined the key aims.

Forgotten // Solution 2

This is the second solution to my A2 art coursework. Click HERE for full summary, from solution 1. 

The second solution again aimed to achieve an eerie atmosphere, this time through the idea of 'Shadows' - when you walking alone, maybe through a wood, and it feels like someone is following you, that your not alone, yet you cannot see anyone. Artist inspiration from Gormley's figured, one located in my local city.

Achieved by using thick tracing paper with pen drawings of 'eerie' old looking trees, layered up with cutout sections and figured 'hiding'. Figures were later cut, generated on the 2D Design programme from photographs I had taken, onto a grey 'clear' acrylic plastic and wrapped with silver wire. This combination created interesting shadows.
