Brief
The uses and [sometimes] abuses of public spaces do much to communicate the identity and character of cities. Across Leeds there is a huge list of events that take place within its public spaces that range from carnivals, concerts, markets, exhibitions, parades, sports events, protests, happenings, flash mobs, etc.
The task is to research into various events and happenings that have occurred in Leeds and helped shape the city; then choose one that will become the focus for an A3 traditional print that celebrates this event. Choose any event whether or not it was organised or impromptu but it must be celebratory.
My A3 print must only use traditional print methods. The prints will be exhibited in the level 4/5 exhibition in May.
Considerations
By thinking visually I need to explore literal and lateral responses. Use both type and image together or separately, I need to keeping in mind the various techniques and processes that are available to me. I also need to consider the relevance that this would have to re-enforce the message I am trying to convey.
Mandatory
Analogue print on A3 stock
Content must be suitable for public viewing and be celebratory in nature
Interpretation
This brief will allow me to experiment with a verity of media because I do not use traditional media a lot so this will be a good chance to look at how I can screen print or letter press a poster in a way that is relevant to both my response and my practice. Recently within my practice I have been trying to focus on using type a lot more as this is an area of design that I am becoming more interested in so I will have the opportunity to use what I have learnt about type in a response that I am happy with.
