I really like the minimalist approach she has taken with the photography of the still life. The changing of the background colour also adds adds a nice touch as it places a greater emphasis on the colour of the subject. The project is based on a careful observation of the individual colours of food taken with professionalism and a touch of irony. 

• They took the traditional image of frut, as often seen in still life, and added a twist by using vibrant colours and number patterns on the inside. The patterns correspond to each caledner month and are designed to reflect the repetition and patterns that are found in nature. (reminds me of the fibonacci sequence/spiral)
• Using a very tactile illustrative approach, they feel that they're fruits are way better because they are perfectly ripened and stay like that the whole year round! 

I really like the conceptual feel of her style of work. Using a simple colour palette she is able to incorporate a minimalist/simplistic approach that allows the audience to focus on the subject of her piece. What i find really intriguing about her use of a typewriter is that a typewriter tends to produce pieces of text that are 2 dimensional, but her pieces transforms this flat 2 dimensional piece to a 3D piece that is more dynamic and obtains and creates an energy that is transfixing. 

• Online Magazine Issue 1/ Sticky Buns
• I really like how she explores the concept of color schemes which is reflected through the choice of objects in each of the images as well as the colors that are involved with an individual image. 
• The organized/arrange feel adds a simplistic and minimalist touch that I am aiming for in my project and I think that it adds a lot to her images and the concept she is aiming for. 

• Vacchi continues with the minimalist/simplistic style in her next project where she deconstructs food and photographs it like a still life image. 
• I really like how she considers color in her compositions and sticks to a specific color scheme in each individual image which makes the image more cohesive in a colorful way. 
• I also really like her choice of shapes and how she utilizes triangles, circle and rectangles to compose each of her images. i.e. the resulting dish is always in a circle etc. 

• What really attracted me to these photos are their choice of color along with the quirky compositions of each of the images. 
• They stick to a pastel color palette with small pops of colors with props such as the clothing and the cutlery on the table which I think works really well. 
• I think that choosing a color palette for my photographs will definitely be the best approach and starting point to be able to create some successful images. 

• Will Yates-Johnson created this project in collaboration with Julinka Ebhardt. During one fo their workshops in the countryside, they noticed that they didn't know the names of many of the trees surrounding them. 
• They began collecting photographs and documents of as manytree specimens as they could find and produced a small book of 22 specimens listing their names and its classification. 
• I really like how simple the book is laid out and it has a common theme throughout the book which makes it a more interesting collection of images. 
• The formating of the book makes it almost like a visual list which fits very well with its content. 
• For my project, I have decided to generate a 'promotional pack' for my company 'QNSTRKT.' In this promotional pack I want to include catalogues/information books/zines that tell the audience about who we are, what we do and why we do what we do. I want to somehow translate this simplistic format into my project by maybe selecting a few key words for each of the zines and photograph images that illustrate it visually. 

• I really like how there is a defined relationship between each of the books and makes it more of a collection rather than a singular book itself. 
• The very simple format and design makes it really engaging and makes  the reader want to pick it up and to find out what its about. 

• I really like how these posters are structured and fold to open and reveal the message inside. It is a really interesting approach as it almost mimics a book/publication with a title/phrase and then once its open it reveals the 'content.'

• I decided to research into various patterns that have been generated with reference to different things. e.g. rock patterns. 
• Because I am in the process of designing some swatches for the 'Qnstrkt' Printer I thought it would be suitable to look into patterns that are generated. I also came across some holographic patterns created which look really interesting. 
• However, for mine I think that I want to experiment with same paints or computer graphics to generate my swatches. 

• The unique character of the TextieMuseum is the combination iwht its production and development facility the textielLab.In the identity the focus is on visualizing the combination of these two characters of the institution. 
• The basic icon of the institute represents the T,M and L that are overlapping. By multiplying the letters at different opacities and colour combinations they have created a really interesting identity that I feel works really effectively to communicate how integrated they work together. 
• The dynamic character of the structure and system allows various implementations of patterns on several parts of the identity. Such as staionary, packaging, website, etc. Making this visual link between all the consumer touch points definitely creates a unique identity that becomes identifiable. 
• The complete colour palette is fundamentally based on only 5 hues that are then overlapped at different intensities generating the various shades in between. 

• I have really been inspired by minimalist still life photography lately and I really like how the simple use of colours highlights the focal point of an image. 
• I found some of these photographer who have directed and composed some interesting images that really stand out. I also particularly like things arranged "neatly" as it gives it a very structured effect that works very well in juxtaposing the playful pastel colours. 

• I wanted to find a new and interesting way of binding a catalogue/zine to make it more interesting and intriguing. 
• I particularly liked the japanese binding technique especially when various shapes and new patterns are created with the thread. I really like how the stitch binding can be both very professional or make it look very handmade. 

• Promotional kit for band, Negativland
• I really like how she didn't take the conventional approach to a promotional kit and she fully recreated something that was suitable in conveying her message. 
• I really like the vintage and retro feel of the box, almost as if its stepping into a different era of time which is always important in considering when trying to create a consumer experience with a product. 

• I really like how he determined a criteria prior to designing his posters which thne became his theme for the posters. His posters are almost like challenges for the audience to try and decipher the posters to figure out which movie he is referencing. 
• The use of form and colour is some of the most important aspects of his project which he pays close attention to. e.g. 101 dalmations. 
• His meticulous choice of colour and form plays a large role in how easily someone is able ot make the connection between the movie and the posters. 
• However, some of the designs are fairly vague and only if you really know the movie would you be able to figure out which one he is referencing.
