Folklore - Research

This is a project is entitled The Journeys into Mystery. This project is also being done by a university I Columbia called Universitas Ciputras. The project is short. Everyone has to come up with a poster design using a folklore of our choice. The poster has to be A2 and consist on 150 words of copied body text.

 Before I started this project I produced research. Here is my research:
The museum of British Folklore

Overview
The museum of British Folklore currently does not have a building for the public to visit however, the organisation holds a series of exhibitions and events within the UK. Folklore is slang used as a secret language, from school children to guilds and masonic groups. It is the shaping of everyday experience in stories. Folklore involves life values, artfully expressed in myriad forms and interactions. The stories enrich the country and makes us a commonwealth of cultures.
·       The museum of British Folklore wants to celebrate and revitalise the folk heritage of Britain.
·       Provide ways for individuals to discover, understand and explore their own, and other customs and traditions.
·       Encourage greater public involvement in the rich and continuing tradition of folklore as a vital component of the social fabric and cultural identity of the British Isles.
·       Innovative organisation, working within a network of collaborative partnerships across the country.
·       Engaging members of the public through exhibitions, workshops, lectures, pop-up shops and digital platforms.
·       Promote folklore.
·       Sharing, interpreting and conserving its collection of folklore artefacts.
·       Inspirational educational opportunities for individuals of all ages.

·       Supported by The Villore Fund, USA.The Paul Hamlyn Foundation.

D&AD Submission

I decided to submit my work to the D&AD competition. Here I have attached the video presentation and support .jpegs that I sent. I am very excited about this and I am hoping I win a pencil from this  completion, as this will give an advantage over others when applying for jobs. To submit work, I had to write small explanation. Here is what I put: ‘Virgin Venture’ is for the adventurous. The app and website allow people to book holidays based on categories and destinations. The second feature, which differentiates this app is ‘Venture Luck’. This feature is for the risk takers. The interface of this section is inspired by the popular Tinder app, allowing people to skip, save or book pre-planned holidays. The only detail needed from the person is a date.  There are also interactive posters that work identically, allowing someone to tap the screen. Each tap reveals a new destination, they can then use NFC to save the details. ...

Placement research

Over the last few weeks I have been researching job placements. It has been very hard to find 3 month placements, all of them seem to be a year long or I am not qualified for the opportunity. However, I kept on looking even with these minor set backs and I have now found some placements that I can apply for. 12 month placements DISNEY - Creative & Product Development  https://jobs.disneycareers.com/job/london/internships-creative-and-product-development-2018-19/391/5832619 UNIVERSAL - Graphic Design Intern http://jobs.jobvite.com/universalmusicgroup/job/ofZm6fwq Both of these 12 month placements are amazing opportunities but this is not what I am looking for. I want to either have a placement over the given time during semester 2 (March -May)or, have a summer placement. Due to this, I decided to research local design agencies in Coventry. Here are the three I liked the most. These three design agencies would help me develop professionally b...

Ashmolean and Pitt Rivers Muesum

Friday 30th September Today I went on a trip to Oxford to visit two museums. These museum's were Ashmolean and Pitt Rivers. Both of these museums had lots to offer but, I did prefer the Pitt Rivers museum beacuse it at things you could interactive with. Ashmolean is the University of Oxford's museum of art, founded in 1683. The collection is very large and has Egyption mummies to contemporary art. The museum displays all sorts of diversity throughout culture across time. During the time I was exploring the museum, I produced some observational drawings as well as taking photographs. My favourite part of the museum was the Egyptions beacuse, it was incredible to get close to these amazing historical pieces. Pitt Rivers displays archaeology and anthropology collections of the University of Oxford. The museum was founded in 1884 by 'Augustus Pitt Rivers'. He agreed to give his collection to the museum on the agreement that a lecture in anthropology was held on a regu...
