Once again, an exercise from the artistic conception class which has finally resumed after about a two month break. The goal was to create an interesting and visually balanced composition using only black and white letters (black letters on white background and white letters on black background actually) which we had to cut out of various magazines. I cheated a little bit by working on the computer, because often times I wanted to paste the letters without any background at all. That is why I found that rather than getting rid of the background with a cutter (takes forever!) it is much easier to use the fonts in Photoshop. This one is done in Times New Roman, a nice font for that kind of exercise with just a white background.

Spring is upon us, so with the sun shining I am walking around the area with my camera again trying to snatch bright joyous photos of the surroundings. I took this picture of an old tree in the Tenbosch park on a beautiful cloudless Sunday morning. The blue sky is clearly visible because of the upward perspective which also makes us lost in the branches because no horizon is visible.

Another example of a fictitious newspaper issue, talking about the mysterious event that never happened. This concept was inspired by other more wellknown real estate media projects such as Atomium being for sale and the roof of Palais de Justice being blown off by the wind. The goal of all those projects is to create an urban legend that will get society talking about a place or an institution after the ‘buzz’ is produced event while trying to find evidence of the described events.

For the annual open door day 19th and 20th of march 2010, we decided to create a fictitious project which consists of a rumor about a web of artificial grass paths all leading to the school. The path is a metaphor for a change in lifestyle, improving it’s quality and taking control of your professional situation.

Just before Christmas break we started a new class called artistic image conception. The first graphical object that we had to deal with was of course the dot and the first assignment was to arrange 9 dots in a square space of given size in order to convey one of the concepts. On the left are my representations of the five following words: Exclusion, Movement/Escape, Dispersion, Hierarchy/Team and Heavy. Very simple exercise the goal of which was to make us familiar with the basic graphical arrangements and the impressions that they give.
