Martina’s Arts

 This is my mood board for my project. I tried to visualise my concept and add short titles. 

This week in our lectures we are working on personalising our website. In todays classes we started learning about “About page”. It is page when you can find information and little bio about person who’s web you are exploring. Here is my idea: Hey friends 👋 I am Martyna. I am a polish student living and learning in Leicester, UK. I enjoy exploring the beauty of art, design and culture that helps us live happier and calmer.  Since I study in the UK, I also share and show my journey of exploring art and creating works. You will find all my designs and other creations on this website and my thoughts about it as well. 

We are in week four. During today’s Digital Arts lectures we were creating our website. To build it we used Wix page:  https://www.wix.com/freesitebuilder/hiker-create?gclid=Cj0KCQjwit_8BRCoARIsAIx3Rj4PSyTQ509rkn0W6_nrGe8a1zmzVE1iWZAS_UbqRbI5cLg2ZtBhYfgaAmLtEALw_wcB&utm_medium=cpc&experiment_id=wix%5Ee%5E343913812270%5E .  First we were looking at photographers’ and artists website. Most interesting for me was Terry O’Neils’ website:  https://www.iconicimages.net/photographers/terry-oneill .  All websites was instinctive, clear and simple to explore. Information was understandable and we could quickly access and find things we were looking for. I want my web to be clear and understandable too. It should reflect our continuation route and we will be uploading our major project to a gallery on our website for assessment. After quick research and listening about the Legal and Ethical issues, we started to create our websites. I started to looking for a suitable ...

Creating a brand identity is a complex challenge for graphic designers. It is important to understand marketing and consumer behaviour as well as practical design skills. A brand is used to promote everything from clothes to persons. Walter Landor once said “Products are created in a factory. Brands are created in the mind.” For my Major Project I would like to create brand for my future company. As a graphic designer I need to have strong personal brand which is related with future opinion of my business and mark position.  Your personal brand is your most valuable career asset when you know how to uncover, express, and nurture it.  To design a brand I need to know what I want to sell. For my business it will be graphic design service. I want to offer my skills to create things for future customers. I will need a website where I can represent my work, create portfolio and when potential client can easily contact with me. I will need to define my target audience and create spe...

 Hi! Today I will show you my journey through creating an advertisement. We have week two and task for this week is to creat an ad that is selling product or service based on our subject area. As you could read on my welcome post, my subject is graphic design. So let’s start with a brain storming. I asked myself some questions. You can read them below.. First of all “What is an advertising?” As we can read in “Advertising” by John Sherman Wright, advertising is a powerful communication force and a vital marketing tool - helping to sell goods, services, images and ideas through channels of information and persuasion. The American Marketing Association says that “ Advertising is any paid form of non personal  presentation and promotion of ideas, goods and services by an identified sponsor.” For me advertising in our century is art of attracting attention. In world of highly developed social media and times of information overload, we have only split second to catch somebody’s at...

 Hi! New journey, new school, new city, new life and.. new people. We often meet new people in our lives. It is an inevitable change. Please welcome my blog buddy Daria Pieczynska .  What is blog buddy? It is a great opportunity to get feedback and to know new people at my university. It is way to inspiring, comparing and motivate each other. We can comment on our works and we can help to improve our works. It is fun.  The best way to know someone is to go to coffee. Unfortunately, Daria couldn’t go, but it didn’t stop me. I called her on video chat. What a great opportunity. I couldn’t go to coffee, but you can take yours and start to read my interview. Enjoy! https://dariasworldofanimation.blogspot.com/ 1.  What is your name? My name is Daria. 2.  Where are you from? I’m from Poland.

Hi everyone! The first week on University. I met a lot of new people and I am slowly completing the introduction to all my modules. Not gonna lie, it is all a little bit confusing but I stay positive and I hope you too. We have pretty nice and interesting projects to do. Here is one of them.  SEQUENTIAL IMAGES. During one of my first class, we worked on creating our sequential images. But what are they? They are images that have a specific order and follow each other telling a story.  We knew a few artists and did some research about it. Let me introduce you Eadweard Muybridge and his photographs... And Elliott Erwitt and his works. He is an American street photographer.  I like that when you look at these photos you feel like you are watching a story. It is a beautiful way to say something and catch moments in life.  After a little bit of research and new pieces of information, it is time for our sequential images.  First idea   At first moment I wanted ...
