Out & About — Red 2 meet Shoreditch

I'm talking about this a little bit late, but I can't fail to register these moments.

I'm talking about Out & About workshop which I attended the last 15 of October. In this day the Red 2 team met some Shoreditch places like Kemistry, White Cube and YCN.

The meeting point was in Old Street Station. Me & Mariana went there by bicycle in the morning under the cold weathder of London. Before arriving to the meeting point we got lost because of me, but we managed to return to our rout and complete our trip with success and we weren't late.

First, Paul guided us to the Kemistry Gallery where we saw the exhibition "Gastrotypographicalassemblage" a celebration of Lou Dorfsman's work, art director for the CBS Network. 

The Kemistry is a street gallery, not so big but quite nice. The center of the exhibition is a typographic and 3d peace for the CBS cantine, unfortunately we couldn't see the original piece but only the photographic reproduction of it.

I'm a bit geek about editorial design and grids and I love this book about the Exploration of the Moon. The cover of this book is really nice, with the texture of the moon.

At Kemistry I also had the oportunity to see some pieces from the french graphic designer Côme de Bouchony, available for sale at the gallery.

After that we went to the White Cube. Personaly I don't really liked the exhibition too much, didn't say much to me, but I still enjoyed being there and I got some inspiration mainly from the experiences with textures of the paintings in the main room, which I liked.

After Kemistry and White Cube we went to the YCN, they have a store and library in the ground floor and the studio is upstairs but this last one's close to the general public. I already knew YCN but only by internet sources. I've never met this place and I loved it. I will most definitely be back there.

After this we finished the session in a book and magazine store close to YCN and with a group picture.

Thank you Paul for this trip!

Narrative Workshop

I didn't know what to expect from the Narrative Workshop. We've been told to bring newspapers such as "The Guardian" or "The Times" and I thought that maybe we'd talk about grids or something like that. However the workshop was about the narrative of the images. We started with a group task that was to explore, from the images David gave us, various ways like "crop up of a detail", "crop to abstract", "discreet" or "crop to define" to add new senses to those. Later and this time individually we explored methods of narrative sequences using pictures from the newspapers. After lunch and after me and Mariana enlarged our supplies of newspapers, we started task number three which consisted in cutting out all images, heading and subheadings off the papers and then apply to four different images random titles so we'd give it another meaning /impression. So this was to produce four different narratives which was quite fun to do, but beacuase I don't have a much wide vocabulary I asked Mariana to explain the phrases to me.
I think that this workshop was important to understand the importance and weight of the text and images. With this two we can create a lot of meanings for the same thing. I think this workshop has some relation with the last VCT class when we talked about the meaning of images.       

First days of LCC

I don't have much to say, I'm quite exited about this new adventure at LCC. I've appreciated the blog workshop and VCT class but I think I'm more exited about tomorrow when we'll start the series of specific workshops, starting with Narrative.
I also have some tasty news, me and Mariana found "Bolo de Arroz", a cake from Portugal, stored at college's coffee shop. I think the cakes in London look fine but they aren't so tasty for us. See you around!

Hello!

Hello everyone,
I've moved to London to study graphic design at London College of Communication. Now I ride a bike and cook everyday.
I'm starting this blog because the first college project is to create or continue a blog with reflections, reports of our projects (and also some funny pictures if we want). I've had in the idea to create a personal blog mind for a long time and for concequence of this two motives: "Here it is!". I hope you like it and follow it. My posts for lcc projects will be tagged with "lcc" so you can check easily my progress at school. I'm also uploading some old news that I have posted on my old news page at my website and I promess I will put some other good old news later. It will be lovely to have some feedback on my posts. Keep in touch everyone!

Colher V2

"“Colher — inside the portuguese graphic design” is my new personal project. It's a plantform of divulgation. This reveals a previous undiscovered territory, whose purpose is finding young talent, studios and designers in Portuguese graphic design.
