Contrast

Contrast: There are least two sides to every story led by Karl Foster

Before attending Karl's workshop, we were sent a list of all the workshops which announced what to expect from the sessions.This is what the briefing to Karl's workshop stated...

'Methods of creating contrast among elements in the design include using

contrasting colors, sizes, shapes, locations, or relationships. For text, contrast is

achieved by mixing serif and sans-serif on the page, by using very different type

styles, or by using type in surprising or unusual ways.

London is a city of many contrasts. In this workshop you will be producing a series

of images that reflect the personality of London and it’ s many contradictions.'

The work we produced in this session however was not at all what I expected! We looked at the different areas of London and contrast by investigating in to Coats of Arms. There were some online sites, for example the V&A site which allowed us to quickly construct a standard coat of arms. Here is one I quickly made in the session.
