Workshop creative advertising
We were asked to produce a sheet full of text made in different ways.
Techniques I used:
1. tape+spray paint
2. stencil
3.pen (different fonts)
My favourite technique is the tape and spray paint because it looks very sinister which can link to my chosen theme Human Trafficking. It shows clear contrast and with the rough edges it looks even more scary.
For another workshop we had to choose a letter and we had to think of the different variations of the letter by rotating, translation and enlarging. We also had to explore positive and negative space. To show we have explored this skill we had to incorporate two letters and kind of merge them together. Changing the presentation of the letters.

Inspired by a few artists such as John Macormac, Val Britton and Debbie Smith for different reason. My response is quite grungy and distressed I was inspired by Macormac for this because he would use quite earthy colours and he would make the paint drop to the end of the cardboard. He would also layer materials so I layered tissue paper and then painted it a dark brown creating an illusion that the map is in a hole in the ground.
I was inspired by Debbie Smith because of the way she used pins and thread to create a word I haven't quite tried that yet although I have used the map underneath to guide me where to put the pins and what way the thread is going. I placed all pins where 2 roads meet on a major road. and some thread I have wrapped around twice so the line becomes more prominent and bolder whereas some pins only have a thin bit of string around them. This is also linked with the artist Val Britton.
Val Britton
Britton creates abstract collages using paper and other mixed media that reference the language of maps, network diagrams and astronomical photography
My personal response to all of these artists:
I really like how this turned out because I think it personally relates to the artists easily as well as putting my own style in there. I chose earthy colours such as brown, dark yellow, and black because the vibe I get from John Macormac and Val Britton is that they use darker colours to emphasise the lighter areas. However my response lack lighter areas but the majority of it is brown and black. So to get it even more like there style I should leave areas and make though's areas lighter by apply white watered down acrylic. Just like Debbie Smith I tried to use string and wrap it around the nails. Firstly I had to think about where the nails will be placed. I decided to place the nails on the road where more than one was connected to it. (round abouts etc) I decided to use dark green thread because I feel like it compliment the earthy colours as well as this it adds a little colour.
Important objects to me
inspired by Andrea Joseph
Andrea Joseph known for her detailed biro drawings. She would draw random objects and place them in a different way using text as well. So being inspired by her we had to do our own drawing objects/things that were important to me. So I chose my Teddy bear, favourite apps, favourite drink, pencil (art),Sweets, Cricket ball signed by the England captain I played for Hampshire and the team won tournaments this was one of the prizes.
I just used biro creating a variety of marks exploring tonal range from dark to light. Using cross hatch and pointillism etc.

1. When using a craft knife make sure you are holding it correctly and always make sure where your other hand is while you are cutting
2. Concentrate while you are cutting
3. Make sure all of your belongings are under the table
4. Look where the cable leads are and tuck them away.
5. When using a heat gun make sure your hand is on the handle and let the gun cool done after use.
Technical Notes
For my samples I used a variety of different techniques to explore line, colour and texture.
To create texture I used copy-dex. First of all you layer the copy -dex onto the car. Then paint a layer of acrylic. It will eventually dry and you have to rub of the excess copy dex. This leaves some white patches as well as the acrylic creating streaks.
Another technique to create texture I used materials like bubble wrap to print on to my car. I used this on blank areas making it more interesting and colourful.
Another technique I used to create texture was dry painting I did this around a glue stick lid. Sweeping the paint brush away from the glue stick creating a dry texture as well as this I explored shapes.
To create line I used a technique which included masking tape. I thought about where the lines could go. In some of my samples I did a vertical line and in some I did some diagonal. I then painted around the masking tape, the n I removed the masking tape creating a sharp and clear line.
For colour I made sure all colours complimented each other. I also mixed some colours as I was originally given primary colours. So I made purples, oranges, browns and darker blues.
