3. Yuri Suzuki explores the realms of sound, design and electronics. Suzuki will be conducting a series of workshops to show the concept of ‘how things work’, he states that electronic products used to be fairly simple to repair but contemporary designs with their impenetrable, sleek exteriors make understanding their value and function difficult, encouraging consumers to purchase new products as opposed to repairing the old. He was born in Tokyo, but studied at the Royal College of Art and after his graduation in 2008 opened his own studio in London.

on collage background using an oil pastel with my left hand

on collage background, using masking tape to create lettering then covered in shoe polish. Then we removed the masking tape. 

We were given 6 words and we had to write the word in a way which would represent the meaning of the word. 

ideas for the words rapid and consume

ideas for slither and detached

ideas for flowing and stability

We then made colour swatches for the words

We then created small thumbnail ideas for possible final combinations for four words, I choose; detached, stability  flowing and slither

My final background for the word flowing

My final background for the word stability

My final background for the word slither

My final design for the word flowing, I used Photoshop to add the text

My final design for the word slither, I used Photoshop to rotate the background and add text 

Applied Arts Week

Monday the 1st of  October

We used thin pieces of metal; steel, brass, copper and we experimented with a few machines in the silversmithing room. 

We nailed on these metal pieces with small nails, we could bend them round a corner or attach them artistically to a wooden cube.   

on this side I lightly torched the top left piece so a rainbow effect appears, top right I put through the rolling machine with groves diagonally then the opposite to create a cross hatched effect and the bottom piece I burnt holes in. 

The top left piece was put through the rolling machine with groves but straight on this time so it looks like a chocolate bar, on the top right piece I drilled holes but didn't go all the way through then in the bottom left piece I put the whole piece into acid so it strips the shine away then I lightly torched it so the rainbow appears. Then the bottom right piece I put through the fly press and caused a small piece of wire to be indented into the metal. 

The left piece was lightly torched, the top right was put through the rolling machine with groves an the bottom right was lightly burned into small circles then drilled through in the centre of the circles.

The left piece was lightly torched the put the the rolling machine with groves only one way, the top right was also put through the same machine only diagonally the the bottom right was indented on the fly press using the piece of metal where i created small ridges by not drilling all the way through the metal. 

I pasted a black liquid onto the metal in a pattern then dried it then I put it in the acid so the shine disappeared, then i wiped away the black paint stuff and underneath was still shiny, I then burnt t to get the colours. 

The top left was indented on the fly press twice, the middle was lightly torched, the right piece as rolled through the machine with groves then burnt opposite way round to the way I did it before. The middle left piece has a flattened wire spot welded onto it, the piece down from that was drilled and the bottom left was also spot welded.
