Workshop – Plan

Market Research

I developed a range of activities for my market research trial and constructed an orderly plan for the workshop. After a group tutorial with my peers, it was recommended to explore some more art related activites which I thought was a key suggestion; I was becoming so consumed in the philosophy of Kaizen I was losing my focus on art therapy. This helped me redirect my focus and I was able to add two more activites for trial creating a total of seven potential exercises.

 

Workshop Time Table

plan

I will be conducting this workshop in two days time and have been preparing feedback sheets and different research methods, I feel it would be good to keep the work created however I feel it would be most fair to give them the option to keep their work as I have the results I need. Below is the first page of the feedback sheet.

Questionnaire

I have also developed a questionnaire using my developed themes, this will help me narrow down an aesthetic for my audience and encourage a path of finalised development.

Editing Illustrations

After producing a range of illustrations for theme, I wanted to keep experimenting with style and aesthetic, therefore I expanded on a few in photoshop. As I am new to the software I have been exploring the effects and created a variety of samples which can be used in my market research.

This theme worked of the idea of a surrealist appocolypse respondinig to my artist research and adding alternative design direction for market research. I have been using different filters and options in photoshop to expand on potential.

 

Influenced by Takashi Murakami

Using my scanned in illustrations I was able to alter the hue’s of the image, enabling a range of quirky colourful results which helped further a pop art quality.

I have been creating colourful works of traditional japanese culture bringing a feel of humour and positivity through the nature of pop culture inspired by Japans Andy warhol, Takashi Murakami.

pop art

After producing the image in different colours, I was able to create a pattern using a tile option, I’m pleased with the progress I have made and the amount of options I have uncovered, I was able to play around with layers, effects and transparency, enabling some quirky styles. I feel this will be very beneficial when developing the final theme.
