OUGD502 - Henry Moore Institute - A Lesson in Sculpture with John Latham

Whilst in Leeds city centre, I visited the Henry Moore Institute as there was a sculpture exhibition on display. Unfortunately, my phone ran out of battery just as I got into the exhibition which was a shame as there was some interesting work to reflect on. Even though the exhibition was on sculpture, I find it important as a creative thinker to familiarise myself with all aspects of design as I feel that having a varied understanding of all areas will help me think outside the box with my own work to create some truly unique pieces of art.

Again this is an important lesson to always be prepared when visiting galleries and exhibitions and preferably always be carrying a camera and only using my mobile camera as a back up.

These print and designs are the finished products from some graphics and logo designs which were completed in previous blogs. These designs are for the new up and coming clothes brand 'Misple' which I have also collaborated with in my context of practice projects.

OUGD502 - Interesting Magazine Advertising - Aftershave Samples

Reading Mens Health magazine, I noticed an advertisement for some aftershave which used a small peel back smelly tab as a way advertising the smell of the product. I found this an ingenious way of really getting across the product instead of just using pointless unrelated erotic photography of models like usual. This way of involving other senses has given me the initiative to think outside the box in future projects as this advertisement has done.
