(B7) COLLABORATION WITH KIRA BLAKE

-

 

  • Kira approached me with this brief after having a lot of problems with three-dimensional objects and type. She had heard I had been experimenting with this and I thought I could help.
  • I explained how I was still very new to the effects involved and that I may be no help, I did still shown her what I know. In the end, I offered to help with this brief as a collaboration so, we can both learn new techniques with less stress on completion
  • It was difficult to get into this brief as the photographer had not set any clear objectives apart from a logo and some editing on her photographs 
  • What we did know for sure was she has a large interest in cyber brutalism which is a new-age trend that focuses on edgy, futuristic design which can be seen in her photography 
  • Our worry was that we were not skilled enough to get the style she wanted, embedded into our designs but, we began experimenting with three-dimensional objects, Kira mostly as I was in the middle of my large research brief 


  • I managed to create this chrome spiral which both Kira and I liked, I just was not sure how to apply it to one of her images. I had tried wrapping it around one of the models in the photos but, when I tried to add her reflection in the spiral I couldn't get it to work
  • Kira spoke with Rhianna again and she had asked us to also design business cards as well as the logo. The images can be a secondary thing, not mandatory

"Featuring meticulously cut coloured glass" which are usually tall and arched windows (lancet) or round (rose). Often taller than the windows typically seen in churches. The idea is to let in technicolour light.  It is also known that these windows frequently feature tracery, which is decorative stone support. Pointed arches Another identifiable feature is the pointed arches. These are found in most places of worship i.e churches and cathedrals. It is suggested that the pointed style of these arches was taken from Islamic architecture rather than the typical Romanesque buildings found typically in Europe. The idea behind the shape of these wind...

In order to understand the texts related to Gothic architecture, I really need to understand the terminology as I aforementioned when looking at the previous text. I will be listing definitions along the way to better understand. Also, if my designs will have an informational aspect, it would be better to use this terminology or synonyms at least for whatever target audience I choose.  (All within the context of Gothic Architecture) Pointed Arches  Large pointed arches typically found on the Gothic buildings, also seen in many places of worship Large Stained Glass Windows Hugely associated with churches and cathedrals but, also a key feature in Gothic buildings  Ribbed Vaulting  There are a few different types of vaulting, ribbed vaulting is the one most commonly associated with Gothic architecture. It is an integral structural element to support these large buildings.  Flying Buttresses A similar feature is flying buttresses. They also act as an extra support f...
