Warlord of the week

Each week from today (7.03.08) until the end of term we will all follow a selected head designer/guru/medieval japaneese warlord and adopt the style their have fashioned to be thiers. Every thursay a new leader will be set and by the following wednesday the rest of the studio must produce a drawing in their style.

As a leader you must list the rules and conditions that you use to create your representational style be it fonts, lineweights, model materials, textures, language, colour etc.

As a dedicated follower of fashion you agree to use the leader’s style for a drawing that must be produced and uploaded onto this page by the deadline established above.

Week 1: 07.03.08-13.03.08____Pete McMahon

drawings should be one of two styles, i leave the choice to you…

a) crisp complicated line diagrams where the more lines you use the better it looks policy (if you make some up make sure you have a reason to back it up). http://petemcmahon.files.wordpress.com/2008/03/mediamatrix.jpg

b) layered digital collage with mixture of scans and photos and text to create handmade poster aesthetic that allows varied readings of content. http://petemcmahon.files.wordpress.com/2008/02/briefdrawing.jpg

Week 2: 19.03.08-26.03.08____James Halsall

Pete McMahon’s dictatorial reign of terror has been overthrown in a bloody coup by my good self, and I am replacing it with another, equally if not more horrifying reign of terror, but with a slightly different graphic style…
So, as my loyal subjects, you will all produce…. A 1:100 OR 1:50 sectional model through your building. You will make it with a large amount of detail, including some suggestion of wall thicknesses etc. AND you will use some decent materials. AND you will make it quite meticulously, you might have to use some tweezers to put it together.

OR… You can do a model which uses piano wire to describe the different routes taken by the various users of your building.
