PRACTICAL PROJECTS
122 MODULE 1: TERM 1 – Practical Projects Practical projects and activities
Tese activities should be done in line with the theoretical context of the first semester as practical components and aſter the initial practical project like the “Ice Breaker”. It is important to maintain the order of the projects so that you gradually develop your skills and understanding about the elements and principles of design with confidence.
Activity 23 Te barcode design, a two-dimensional (2D) project. Let’s see how much you have learned about the elements and principles of design. Your objectives for activity 23 should include the following: • • • • • • • • •
the exploration of possibilities and manipulation of a vertical line an understanding of positive and negative space an understanding of rhythm, composition and balance to try to master your technical skills
to be creative and innovative with what you are given to solve your problems time management
self-motivation and perseverance neat presentation of your final project
The Brief/Project 1.
Take an A3 piece of paper. Divide the page into five equal columns or rows.
2. Using only vertical lines (black for positive shapes) and the background (white for negative spaces), design and draw five completely different patterns for each column or row. The vertical lines should vary in thickness and must stretch from the top to the bottom of each lane. See how creative you can be with each pattern, using the positive and negative spaces to the full.
3. After completing the patterns, cut the paper and separate the columns/rows. Use the surface of the table to play around, putting them in a variety of orders until you have found an order that allows for a balanced composition. By this we mean that, if you look at all the patterns together, none of them must stand out or create a focal point.
4.
Take your final barcode design and find the quickest and most efficient way to copy and transfer this design onto black paper (or any other colour paper available). You may not destroy the original design. Include the original in your design workbook.
5. Use a pair of scissors or a cutting or craft knife (recommended) and cut a stencil of your design. In other words, you need to decide if you are cutting away the black or white of your design.
6. Mount your final stencil onto an A3 piece of paper. Make your own window mount and finally present your barcode.
