In this studio, students begin by closely observing a chosen subject.
They examine its shape, scale, rhythm and contrast.
The analysis identifies patterns in those references.
Students use what they find to make new compositions, rather than copy the source.
Several studies compare which features can change while keeping the idea recognisable.
The selected direction is refined through type, image and composition.
Editorial applications put the visual ideas into a practical format.
The final work connects observation and analysis to an original design response.
