In class today, we spent a good part of our time discussing and sharing our ideas with the teachers and also some fellow students. It involved letting them know our destination and activity choices, along with giving them some sort of idea on how we are going to approach the brochure in terms of style, colour, and the atmosphere we are going to try and create on each page. I shared my ideas with Caroline, and she seemed to quite like the idea of the scenic walking. I also mentioned that they are going to be linked due to the scenic walking theme, although due to the atmosphere of each location I am able to create enough of a contrast between them. Red Rocks is a more relaxed yet rocky, coastal walk that encounters marine life, and exposed to quite a bit of wind. Mount Victoria is a more challenging uphill walk, through the bush which brings you up to an amazing view at the top. Botanic Gardens is then a casual nature walk which takes you through various bush trails and offers a large range of views of flowers and plants as you go.
We also began looking at indexical signs, and started drawing our own indexical signs, 12 for each of our destinations (these can be seen in my physical workbook). Along with that, for homework, we were asked to print out a photo we had taken, and use cropping to create 6 different emotions from cropping the one image multiple times, and then we were required to also come up with 12 potential colour swatches for each destination or activity. All of which can be found in my physical workbook.
I'm really looking forward to getting into designing mock-ups of my brochure, and seeing it all come together in the coming weeks.
