postcards - collab.

So our postcards were all due a couple of days back. And i just have one word to say - wow. Who knew that postcards could be so awesome. I saw some amazing ones when we all lay it out on the tables to see. Like i said before, our group did Martin Place and i think our groups' post cards worked together really well. There weren't any that stood out from the group and we all followed a strict colour scheme so that really helped.

In our postcards we explored lines, texture and placement. Because we were a group of girls we even incorporated cosmetics into our post cards (i.e. foundation, mascara, eyeliner) but we also used techniques such a coffee drawing (?), sandpaper cutouts and newspaper backgrounds.

So behold, our collaborated artwork:

my piggy.

Yesterday was supposed to be my day off (free fridays!), but i trekked it to uni to get a headstart on my surface & structure assignment. It was surprising to see so many people from our course there even though we all live quite a distance away - but that just made the work more fun and enjoyable!

Here's a sneak peak at the drawings for my pig. I'll probably have to redo them later because its not technically in "3rd projection view" but whatever, it works for now.

After i was done at uni, i trekked it out to martin place for my second round of photo taking. I had to capture the essence of martin place at a particular time of day and i got 6pm-9pm so i got a few nice sunset pictures. I didn't stay til dark cos i figured there wouldn't be much to see anyway lol.

I know it might be like stating the obvious to some, but the difference between martin place on the weekends, and at 6pm on a weeknight is staggering. I know the photos don't show it, but there were so many business people hanging around, and the underground pub/bar place was completely packed! It was a good insight into a place i don't usually visit.

postcards - martin place photos.

As part of our fundamentals postcard project we were each assigned a specific part of Sydney (coogee beach, central station, industrial sites, martin place) and my particular group got martin place (me + vivian + christina + kirstie + rowena). We stopped there on a beautifully gloomy saturday morning and we spent the day sketching, taking photos and pigging out on maccas lol.

This was all done for inspiration for our future postcards. We had to show line, textures, etc within our finished photographs so i can't wait to see how that'll turn out!

We labelled it our "cube" building.

MLC centre.

The fountain.

The gorgeous pillars. Oh so much history.

Look at the patterns O_O LOL.

Yeah so that was an eventful day.
