Research class exercise

 Here are some questions we have to answer for today's activity (12/11/2020). We have to do this during class in 20 minutes and then publish here our answers. 

1.Name something you have researched in the past for art design or media: 

For my major project I have researched the concept of contrast.

2.Explain how you researched this:

I wanted to know more about the different types of contrast in design so I did a google search, where I found a Canvas post that mentioned many of them, Designing with Contrast. After that I went to the Kimberly Library digital web, where I looked for online books about contrast and colour theory. I refined my search by looking for texts in languages I know and I excluded disciplines that I knew would not be useful for me like medicine or engineering. There were still 6000000 results, but I knew they were going to be relevant. After selecting a few documents I did a new search for  "visual composition" and read some of the texts that I thought would be relevant.

3.What facts did you discover?:

There are plenty more kinds of contrast than the ones I thought and the concept of contrast has not been as deeply explored in a design context as I thought it would.

4.What new conclusions did you establish?:

Research in my major project

For this I will be considering the trends for the season of my collection, the current global situation and other cultural and social factors.

Research through my major project

I explored different fabrics and their uses and decided than the most appropiate one for my collection are tulle and cotton.

To illustrate I will be using Krita but I intend to learn how to use Photoshop in more depth so I might explore that software as well. I will use Indesign for the template and other aspects of the design that don't involve the acrtual illustration process.

Research for my major project

I have looked at the concept of Ignorant tattoos, specifically ones that will contrast with the style and colors of Teuta Matoshi's work, which I have also researched.
