"The Fabric of Society"- Graphical applications (workshop 1)





In this workshop we were looking at how the deliberate placing of rectangles and squares on a page could help to depict what the "The Fabric of Society" of society means to us. During the first session I still wasn't sure of what aspect of this topic I wanted to focus on. I decided to look at how the monotony of city life might contrast to the more relaxed way of life one might experience in the countryside and how this might affect the people living in these environments.

We were then encouraged to use our layouts as "cameras" filling the negative spaces within the rectangles with different background of patterns. Above you can see some of my resulting outcomes.




I then moved on to experimenting with layering some of my sketches and photographs in photoshop, looking at how I might depict how humans might impact the environments in which they live. Some of the images above combine both man made and natural forms, focusing on how humans might destroy natural landscapes as they inhabit certain areas.
