RED PROJECT

with this project we were asked to first find famous company logos and brand names which were displayed in the colour red for example Levis or tesco and then take one letter from each one and compose an alphabet out of them.

after this we were asked to then find sayings with the word red in them these are the quotes that i found

Red rum

Red tape

Red carpet treatment

Not worth a red cent

Caught red-handed

Paint the town red

Red sky at night shepherds delight

Seeing red

Red sails in the sunset

Better dead then red ( cold war slogan)

Red lorry yellow lorry

As red as a beetroot

Red and green should not be seen without a colour in between

Red headed step child

Roll out the red carpet

Better a red face then a black heart

then we were asked to design imagery for five of the quotes and then use the alphabet we have composed to form the quotes on the image.

the main aim of this task i think was layout and making imagery and text work together. 

the sayings i used were caught red handed, seeing red, paint the town red, better dead then red and roll out the red carpet.

i think this project benefited me with regards to experimentation as i tried screen printing for the first time which i really enjoyed and gave me a broader range of medians to work with.

also i played around with composition which i had not really explored to its full effectiveness in my sketch book for the caught red handed image you can see that i sketched the text on to a b&w image a couple of times to find the perfect fit of imagery and text.

if i could do this task again i would defiantly spend more time on a few of them as i think certain images are stronger then others and personally i would like them all to be as strong as each other also have a bit more unity so they all work together.


these are the final images:

this image of the sunglasses is the one i screen printed
