research

I chose to look at this website as its a drinking game for students and therefore i thought it would give inspiration for this game we had to do for graphics as i definitely wanted it to be a drinking game , but however i was advised against the drinking game by some people , due to people dying , so i made my game able to play without drink as well .

Mirrors

This one was all about looking at your home environments and how it has made you , who you are today .


Halls is currently where I live at the moment and I have put the bars up in front of the picture of the room to symbolize a prison , but not so much a prison for me more my creative mind , I feel like being in that room with the bathroom inside as well not only does it look like a cell I do feel isolated quite a bit , to the point where I can not be as creative as I wish to be and plus being on campus 24/7 you kind of feel like you cannot get away
The only time anyone’s gets to socialize in the flat is to go kitchen which due to there being no living room that is where you talk which is no good, I feel trapped completely in that place and therefore my creative style cannot be free enough to do the work, the whole second year of my course is struggling because doing work there I feel like I just cannot do it .

My home in Tottenham is where i was brought up and therefore is where i have 
done most of my studies. it’s while being at home drawings, painting etc that i 
realize graphic design is what i wanted to do, i would often be in the kitchen 
talking to my mum while drawing and i would know that i felt at home both 
creatively and personally, i am the kind of person that when I am happy and feel 
safe i can create all sorts of things that normally never would I have thought to. i 
have to be completely relaxed when attempting to do anything creative. 
Another reason why my home in Tottenham is so special to me, is because my 
family live there and they are as important if not more important to my creativity 
because their love and support I what has made me who I am today. And when I 
am home with them I feel I can do anything. 
Even the area make me feel safe to the point where if I have creative block I will step outside my 
house and walk around and see people walking around and I would just feel safe because its my 
home and its where I know best and no matter where I am in the world I will always find my way 
back and will always get homesick . 

I responded to this by making 3 sort of posters of the places i have stayed at and what they mean to me , 
for example with the halls i put bars in front of the picture to symbolize how i feel trapped in the room .

These are a few...

For this project it forced us to look more into our surroundings and what we our selves have with us what is precious to us , and sentimental stuff, Was quite excited about this , because i have loads of things that mean so much to me , which i could talk about .









My idea was to make 9 A4 pages on each one would have something that means alot to me , and a series of pictures in a photo-album style ,i put each page in a plastic wallet and then sewed them together with a string to show that i like to be creative .
When you look into what you actually like you learn so much about yourself.
