In this class we were toughed about how to draw 2D images into 3D images by using thing to one point perspectives and then two point perspectives and then also how to shade the image according to where light is coming from. I scanned three pages from my booklet. The first was of how they were shaded. The second one is of a chair from one point perspective, and the third image is of a table drawn from a three point perspective. I found this interesting, and I think it will help with my drawing, I especially saw how it worked when I was drawing the chair, from how it can turn a 2D shape into a 3D shape with just drawing lines going towards one direction.
For our main assignment we were to make three concept drawings of three different ways we could structure our poster. In for the final product I decided to go with the first drawing because I think that it would work the best with my organization on where to place pictures.
1.How long has this organization been established for? It was created in England since1824 so it has been established for 187 years, and in Australia it was formed in Melbourne in 1871 so it has been established in Australia in since 140 years in Australia.
2.Can you find any past advertising materials, as well as present?How have these changed over the years, and what do you think these changes have been influenced by? I found the past advertisement materials very plain with not many pictures and just writing trying to get the point across, but nothing in the first place that is very eye catching. Whereas the present advertisement is very colourful and uses lots of pictures of cute animals to bring the audience to look, then after it catches the eye of people it then has small bits of information which invites people to learn more.
3.Is the current advertising appropriate to the organization? Why? Yes it is very appropriate to the organization because they use images, with cute animals which make you feel sorry for them, which would make you want to help them. They also always use bright colours to bring in a young target audience. But the current advertisement does not tell you much about the corporation its self which makes it hard for people to try and get involved in the organization. 4.How could a different design be appropriate?If they used some more thing in the poster in how you could help the animals or show sad animals to make the audience want to help more. As well as just making the poster a bit more simple so that the images is more eye catching and not too crowed. these are some posters for the RSPCA that i liked;
In this task we were given an A2 sheet of paper and a destination. We were asked to draw a map without using arrows or words to show our destination. In the next lesson we were given instructions to follow someone else’s map and they were to follow ours. The map we were given led us to the bike rack between B block and S block. We found there map quite easy to read because they chose to do a traditional map, and they had very clear images that represented a place in the school and a path way to the destination. People found our map hard to read because it was a nontraditional map, and used only images to lead the viewers to the destination. We didn’t read the instructions properly which made it harder for the viewer to arrive at the destination (our destination was the next room).

Evaluation drawing person next to you
In this task we were asked to draw the person sitting next to you (from the shoulders up). The rules were that we were not allowed to take our pencil off the page, and we had to spend 80% of the time looking at the person you where drawing, and 20% of the time looking at the paper. This made it difficult because, we had to have a feel for where you where on the page because we could not spend all our time looking at this. This drawing was relatively normal with just a few lines were they normally be making the picture look a bit strange. The next task we again had to draw the person sitting next to us (from the shoulders up), but this time we were not allowed to look at the paper at all, as well as not being able to take your pencil off the page. This task was a lot more difficult than the previous task, because you had no idea where you had been previously drawing; the end result was not very good in the way that the face I drew did not at all match up with head and hair that I drew. This task was fun to do and also helped with my drawing skilled.
Evaluation drawing Niki's bike
In this class Niki brought in her bike and we were to all draw the bike from the angle that we saw it. We used charcoal and we got five minutes to start your drawing, then after five minutes you had to move to another person’s picture and finish their drawing off from there angle. I really liked this task because her bike was a very interesting this to draw because it had a lot of different colours patterns and shapes, that you could put into detail. After we were done we had to spray our drawing with hair spray so that the charcoal doesn’t smug.
Videos on graphic design
For a few lessons Niki put on some videos about graphic design which we were told to watch and to take notes on. The videos where about the principles and design elements of graphic design. I found the videos interesting; there was so many different ways to make a design effective.
