Name: Screeeeen
Our group formed because we all share similar interests, but also have our own very distinctive individual creative styles that show in the work we produce. We felt that coming together would work well because of our individual and common interests, and we feel that we would offer creative services that would benefit from this mixture of backgrounds and passions. We are obviously, never going to be able to completely agree on everything we discuss and work on, but we all view this as a positive thing. It would make life boring if we all had the same views and opinions, so the fact that we all have differing views is a great thing and will make us unique as an organisation.
Analogue techniques, mixed media, abstract pattern making & poster design
My main passions and interests lay in poster design and editorial work which involves using multi media approaches and techniques. I am interested in collaging and creating abstract pattern work. There is an analogue revolution happening at the moment within the creative fields and I find this very exciting and view it as a great opportunity to really refine and polish my practice. Access to materials is hardly limited. Creating collages from found media is very easy to do, and creating patterns with analogue media such as inks, pens, paints, paper and so on is cost efficient. The effects produced through using these techniques tend to be unique, giving the work a premium, bespoke feel.
After watching the documentary 'Made You Look', I became even more inspired to enter into a field within the creative industry which values and cherishes analogue approaches. I feel this partnership that I am entering into with course mates is going to be very positive towards these techniques as well share passions for drawing, painting, printmaking, collaging and abstraction. The documentary discussed a number of practitioners who are leading the analogue revolution. One of the most inspiring for me is Edward Cheverton. He is a multidisciplinary designer/creative who enjoy combining analogue with contemporary styles and processes. He is a freelancer, but his work ethic is very motivating.
