Next step is to illustrate some example squares, scan them in, live trace them, then add them in place of the blue squares above to show how it works.

Developing packaging for quilt
Print on the label squares mimicking those on the quilt and infill them to suggest this behaviour to user.
ASSESSMENT COMMENTS
- Type chosen too uniform - safe?
- Quilt packaging too muji - still doesn't suggest that the quilt can be personalised. Needs to be more enticing.
- Everything seems ready to sell - perhaps need to branch out more? Experiment? Don't necessarily need to keep to an implementable format?
Have been selected for the final team to work on a supplement for Nude Magazine's anniversary edition. woo

Packaging the patchwork quilt canvas
To be printed on clear adhesive film stuck on quilt to hold it together. A Structured Argument: Multiple iterations of a journey built along the same thread. Reflection on graphic design as a course and lifestyle and how we are judged within a strict marking structure.

square maths
why use letters?
why not use the symbol: the square - square maths
square + square = rectangle
square^2 = square
square x square = square
square - square = 0
3 squares by 4 squares = 12 squares = rectangle

What if...? The Return
INITIAL WHAT IF QUESTION: What if a physical environment could manipulate emotive response of the brain causing a change in behaviour.
BROKEN DOWN: Emotive Environments
ORDER VS DISORDER
DISORDER AS OPPOSITE OF ORDER: Misalignment (OCD) - not at right angles, wonky, visual annoyance.
Halftone images
Text to be very small, book text size so that the reader has to bring the piece close to themselves causing the halftone image to be unclear.
Selecting images
FRONT (Visible to reader)
- Halftone image of snapshot in film where the background subject is looking directly at the viewer.
BACK (Visible to onlooker)
- Halftone image of snapshot in film of a sordid moment.
CONCEPT
- Halftone images only become clear when you take a step back from them, changing perspective. The text itself is prompting you to take a step back and re-observe the film via a different perspective - sound.
- Image visible to observer - sordid image exposed - to the onlooker the reader is partaking in a naughty activity - e.g. porn. Really the reader is absorbed in the concept of the film not its obviously scandalous facade.
Interim feedback
- Will need to work on how to make text readable (if laid over halftone image)
- Concept needs to be clarified

Using colour filters to reveal and conceal
Will have to convert this image using colour half tone to gain an image that can be separated using colour filters. Blue to reveal on set of info (visual) and red for another.
Change in subject
Server at forefront - subject of image - only perceived in this snapshot - still in time - not the true case.

Sewing machine broke so had to finish by hand. Will need to get it fixed quickly so I can put the backing on and quilt through the wadding.
