Calendar For Second Semester

So, here is the study program that I have been following and will follow during second semester. I am trying to keep up with it and be organized, to finish all my modules on time in a good quality. I am aware of the fact that my map looks a little complicated, I color code the modules and use icons to specify the activities that I am going to do like, presentations or going to printer center. Therefore, I hope it is clear enough, and I can follow it.

My calendar for March.

Calendar for April and May.

Design Project B: Experimental Design Concepts

I have been working on the design concepts, image and text research for my design project for a while. Therefore, I develop a second map to focus on my subject and two new design concepts. While I was working on my map, I tried to make it like a project plan, it is because I will use all my maps to create my sketch book at the end of the semester, so I want them all to be very organized and explanatory about my evolution. All in all, I don't want to make the same mistakes that I did with my last project, so I am taking baby steps, try to be more organized and more careful about the concept developments.

Design Project B: Mapping My Ideas: Project Structure, Vol.2

Originally, my first logotype came out of the common syllable of my motivation words: RE, so this concept is called "RE -Use, Claim, Imagine-: A Minifesto About Environment" which I find quiet playful. I like this concept, in my estimation it looks sophisticated because of the font I use, Trajan Pro and with the support of the little tree illustration at the middle it serves the spirit of my concept. Moreover, the top one is my favorite among the others, because it is the most clear and effective one. Consequently, for the text at the bottom, I choose to use Helvetica to convey the title of my book clearly to the audience.

My first concept logotype, "RE - Use, Claim, Imagine - A Minifesto About Environment".

 My second concept is a little bit more plain. I use the icons to create the logotype and since the concepts name is "Design For Nature", I choose to a mouse and a tree icon. Therefore, the bottom one is my favorite yet I am presenting all my final experiments to show my process. In contrast to the first concept, I believe I am not quiet done and I can still improve this second logos to carry them to another level.

My second concept logotype, "Design For Nature- A Manifesto About Environment".

Design Project B: Publishing and Design Authorship: Mapping Vol.1

I am extremely happy and excited about Design Project's second topic, authorship. It is because I love books and typographic book layouts are one of the reasons that I choose graphic design to study. Therefore I created a map to clarify my ideas about the subject of my book. While I was thinking about the concepts I decided to put my personal interests in the middle to make this book a more respective project. In this manner I divided my personal interests into three sections which are mainly; Inspire Me: Great Design Icons is a conceptual project, Mini-Festo is a design manifesto, which I have always wanted to start and finally Small Treasures / Guilty Pleasures is about packaging and sustainability. Moreover I divided each section into four to investigate and present my ideas clearly. At this point choosing my concept as early as possible is crucial for me, because all my concepts require lots of research and image collecting. In order to keep up my calendar I need to decide my concept, expand my maps and start to write the outline texts of my book.

Publishing and Design Authorship: Mapping Vol.1

Eventually, I love all three of the concept, I put a lot of thought on each one and I think they are all flexible, easily improvable and conceptual however my best concept among those three is the minifesto. Therefore I really want to collect and organise all the information that I have learned so far, unfortunately I believe it might be quiet challenging to write one, but I willing to try and I will do my best about it. All in all, I can't wait to pick a topic to start my research and concept developments.
