i need help from any product design students!
i’ve just finished year 11 and about to go into 6th form next year. i’ve been set holiday work to produce a sketch book and portfolio of things. the portfolio is about Novelty Cards, and the sketch book is just for observation skills. it suggests i can do
-interesting items – annotated sketches
-effective use of materials, colour, fonts
-sketches of interesting detail – patterns, shapes, decoration
-photographs
-interesting magazine cuttings
-new innovative idead
-ideas of your own
-collected materials/ samples
-examples of effective graphic products
can anyone help me and suggest maybe what i could do for each of them because im soooooo confused, although i was going to try and incorporate something to do with fashion in there (from magazies)
any help will be appreciated!!!
Especially if you like dragonflies. It’s fairly plain, but not TOO plain....
Photoshop Creative magazine and Advanced Photoshop,it’s sister publication is worth a look.They seem quite expensive but you can buy the back catalogue on DVD for the price of 3 mags.The fonts and brushes,on the monthly DVD along with the tutorials and adverts,with links to Designers and companies would cover most of your research needs.Try their web sites before buying to see if their sort of Graphic Design work appeals,it is not photo oriented as the soft ware titles suggest.Their PDF samples are all printer friendly.
