Today we had a workshop carried out by DR.ME a Manchester based design studio made up of 2 guys, we have previously had them in to talk to us about their work and how they got about setting up a studio, they definitely inspired me the first time they spoke to us because they both met at university and set up a design studio- now they work all over the world and even often apart from each other so all their work is done online. They came in today to do a collage/gif workshop, we were set the task of working in pairs and create 10 small collaged images to then be turned into a gif file. In our pairs we were given a random word, ours was 'bacon' ironically being vegetarian we took the approach of looking at how a pig was murdered. At first we created a storyboard that was actually too complicated to execute within collage making, so we opted for a simpler idea- create pretty landscape backgrounds and each time include a silhouette of a pig. As the story boards went along, we intended for the pig to flip and eventually turn upside down, dead.
This is our final gif, we were both pleased with the final outcome, even DR.ME said they liked it. I really enjoyed today's workshop and it has definitely inspired me to create more gifs within my work as it something I have never explored before.
