Pecha Kucha

Pecha Kucha: The Japanese term for the sound of conversation (chit chat) began in Tokyo, back in 2003. Conceived by Astrid Klein and Mark Dytham, their original goal was to create a space where designers could share their ideas or passions with others.

We were asked to produce 20 images based on personal collection. They had to be our own and not a collection of googled images.

I  worked on Shadows pictures which I took and tried to find other visual images through the shadows.

Silkscreen Workshop

Silkscreen is another workshop we were attended which was an amazing experience. Before starting the process of workshop we supposed to design a visual statement to reflect the statement behind Anges Varda`s quote. She is a 90 year old film maker who has recently joined up with photographer and muralist JR. They take a road trip around France 'faces places' meeting local people. 

So  I selected these two of her quotes:

 "Hands are the tool of the painter, the artist."

"It's a way of living, cinema. And I see my family, I do this and that, I travel. It's a long process to let it happen."

I tried to reflect her quote in my poster by using my hand`s photo and clapperboard. (Fig1)

Laser Cutting Workshop

Laser cutting was another workshop during MA course which was great experience.

Laser cutting is a technology that uses a laser to cut materials, and is typically used for industrial manufacturing applications whereas designers can use it as well. 

We supposed to provide a grid vector for cutting Vinyls. After laser cutting we had to play with the layers of grids and made letters or a visual concept.
