Andrew Byrom is a British graphic and typecast designer that is currently living in los angles he studied typography at the university of east London. He finds inspiration for typecast by looking at everyday objects like band aids and chairs. He douse it because he wants to push himself to work in 3 dimensions to be able to make new forms.

 

Some of the examples of the work he does are. In 2008 he made letter box kites and set them off in Seal Beach in California these where made from nylon fabric and fibre glass poles.

 

 

Here is an Image from when it happened.

 

Another one of his works is that in 2016 he made an installation that is animated when viewed by a moving train he was commissioned by Azusa pacific university to create an insulation on their campus.

 

 

 

Here is the work from the train

 

And at the University of Cumbria in the north of England uses aluminium as bunting that are each layered and moves independently of each other and letters that spell out his name and the name of the piece witch is called field work that hangs from the roof of the building to the grass.

 

 

 

Here is his work from then.

 

He inspired my project by using the environment to find letters and numbers to make my alphabet and the work he did above also helped with my inspiration by thinking outside the box.

Andy Goldsworthy

 

Andy Goldsworthy is a British sculptor and photographer born 1956 in Cheshire he studied fine art at the Bradford College of art and at the University of Central Lancashire at the age of 13 he started working on farms and has since likened the repetitive tasks of farming to the creation of sculptors. Photography is an important part of his art process due to it not lasting very long. Goldsworthy has produced work for the courtyard of san Francisco De Young Museum called ‘’drawn stone’’ witch depicts the frequent earthquakes in San Francisco. Most of the materials used in his work are usually brightly coloured flowers and leaves also for most of his works he only uses his hands, teeth and tools that he has found for the more permanent works he has used machine tools.

 

Here is some of the work that he has done

Date that it was made:November 1 2013

Description:A sycamore tree that is surrounded by sycamore leaves of various shapes and with a focus of yellows and oranges this gives off a very mystical feeling

 

Camera Exposure is separated into four different settings, these are Shutter speed, aperture, ISO and White balance.

 

Shutter Speed

When you take a picture of something the shutter open a expose the film of digital sensor to light and creates the image. Shutter speed  is the length of time that the film or digital sensor is expose to the light the amount of light that reach the film or digital sensor is half of the exposure time.

 

 

Aperture

This controls the aperture hole. This can help limit the amount of light that travels through the camera the the size of an aperture is called an f-stop. A lower f-stop equals an larger aperture and an higher f-stop is an smaller aperture. This can be used to increase or decrease amount of light that is reaching the film. This can work in combination with the shutter speed, a fast shutter speed will require a large aperture and a slow shutter speed will need an smaller aperture.

Depth of field

The depth of field is the distance from the plane of focus where the image is notably more sharper but it can only focus on one image at a time so the other objects that are in the frame are out of focus.

 

 

ISO

ISO refers to the light sensitivity on film and digital sensor. If you are changing the ISO on a digital camera it renders the camera more or less sensitive to the light with a digital camera you can change the ISO on the fly but in film camera you have to finish the particular roll to change the ISO but the higher the ISO go’s the more noisy the image becomes.

 

 

White Balance

White balance is a setting for the camera that changes the balance of the light to counteract yellow and orange of artificial light. All digital cameras all have an white balance feature on them it analyses all the colours in  the picture and neutralizes them.
