The first study task was looking at appropriation and subversion. The workshop looked into how different artist and designers take on famous works and re-design and apply these in different ways. Using the styles and techniques, the task within the workshop was to design our own piece of work, thinking about a topic or issue we wanted to focus on. Using newspapers and magazine we re-created a similar design aesthetic that was shown to use within the workshop. This made an opportunity to think of design in a new way, using hands-on techniques and materials compared to digital work.
Within the piece of work that has been created, biodiviersity and the environment were the main focus of the piece. This was due to this linking to the biomimicry research that was being created in the 505 module. Development began by exploring news articles within the magazines and newspapers that were available to use. Focus was put on things that are in danger within the world, while trying to show elements of global warming through the weather imagery. The text included on the piece tried to explain the meaning, copy such as 'of things that I can't see' tried to explain if we carry on the way we are with the environment, we will no longer be able to see certain animals and eco-systems as they will be extinct. I found this workshop to be rather interesting due to being pushed into moving away from the digital side, which is always something I enjoy.
