Visual Language - Summary

Throughout this unit I have noticed my weaknesses and strengths, interests and dislikes. As we ventured into the realm of visual language, with 'Error' being our guiding theme, I've acquired a wide range of new skills and figured out how to use them efficiently. Knowing the basic rules of form and shape is key. A good design not only fits in a space but also makes it look better. These rules should be in mind for any creative work, like making posters or planning future projects. They're the building blocks that make art better and more meaningful.

In conclusion, this project has not only helped me to learn new skills but has also emphasised the significance of fundamental visual language principles. It's clear that applying these principles to our creations can transform ordinary works into intriguing pieces with added depth.




Form: Form is the arrangement and composition of shapes, lines, and volumes in a 3D figure.


An example of this is the project I made with the faces. The way they are lined up relates back to form.









Colour: The aspect of the appearance of objects and light sources that may be described in terms of hue, lightness and saturation.

An example of this would be my riso printing final outcome and my different use of colours.




Movement: Adds excitement, drama and overall compositional interest to an artwork

An example of this is the short film I made which emphasis the importance of movement.

FMP : Evaluation

During these past 2 months, I was working on a project with a very heavy topic that was important to me, France and the colonisation of Francophone West Africa. The whole project has been successful, I managed to create a film which came out how I wanted; it was very informative and visually pleasing. This project holds immense significance for me as I was able to shed light on an issue that resonates deeply with me. I take great pride in the awareness I've raised and the impact it may have on others' understanding of this complex historical narrative. Beginning with my research, it was crucial in shaping my film. Both primary and secondary sources were essential. Without them, my film wouldn't have turned out the same. Research laid the foundation, ensuring accuracy and preventing misinformation from spreading. I prioritised online sources due to the fact that they are easily accessible and simple to verify. This approach ensured that the information I incorporated into my...

FMP : Deliver

To bring my vision to life, I relied on a variety of applications, each serving a specific purpose in the creation process. Firstly, I used notes to create my script and then I used voice memo to record myself reading the script for my film. Next, I turned to Paint.NET, a graphic design tool, to create drawings of maps and flags for my film. Additionally, I utilised Photoshop to create captivating GIFs. In the post-production phase, I turned to CapCut, a video editing software, to piece together the various elements of my film.  These apps helped me improve how the film flows, enhance transitions, and make the final product look great. Using these apps made my project feel more detailed, professional, and true to my vision. I made sure every part was carefully made to match what I had envisioned. Initially, I wanted my film to be around 5 to 7 minutes in length. However, as I looked at the amount of information I had gathered, I realised that achieving this duration would be imposs...

FMP : Develop 2

During this week of development, on the journey of creating my film, I made a conscious decision to start writing a detailed script in my notes. These notes served as a means to capture my thoughts, ideas, and to create a script, with the ultimate intention of utilising them for voice recordings to be incorporated into my film.  Contemplating the use of an AI voice to aid in this process, I found myself combating with the idea of using AI to alleviate the challenges I often face when reading text out loud. While the prospect of utilising AI seemed promising initially, promising a smoother workflow and alleviating the struggle I have with reading from a script aloud such as stuttering, not speaking clear enough or speaking too fast, I soon came to realise the potential downsides.                                  One prominent concern that emerged was the risk of the AI mispronouncing certain words o...
