Exploring Graphic Communication - Research
Found this great web site that finds all free to access tennis courts around the UK, just punch in your post code and it will give you a list of courts near you with details on the numbers of courts available and what surface.
I have made a list of 4 that I intend to visit tomorrow so I can get some photos.
WatchSome Climbing vids ive been watching, I have an amazing respect for professional climbers, these guys can flash a V11 outdoors! (Bouldering grade) And I’m struggling for a V6 indoors! I have a long way to go!!!!!
Great film making as well, some love shots and angles show.
Exploring Graphic Communication - Research
On Wednesday I plan to go to some of the clubs that are going to be in my publication so I can get some pictures and hopefully a little more information on them. My main priority is ‘The Northern’; they host the ‘Manchester Masters’ and have the most tennis courts out of all of the clubs in Manchester, including 9 grass!

The idea of Tennis
I have an idea about basing my brief around tennis, trying to promote what there is on offer, and there is more than I expected which will help in the long run. There is a number of clubs in the Manchester area, with a lot of grass courts, which is very pleasing to a tennis fan, as the grass court tennis seasons is extremely short as the courts are hard and costly to maintain...

I’ve been looking through some web sites to get an idea of how gird systems work, and most importantly how I want to use them in my publication. I was thinking about going with a simple two column grid system, with the main interest on the images and type design.

Professional Context : Film
So I went filming this morning and I got a lot of footage that I think is going to work well, But the problem is now, I have no programmes to edit the footage. I have been using final cut at uni, which is all well and good, and I have a brief knowledge to perform simple tasks on that programme, but what about outside of uni? I don’t have a Mac so I can’t use final cut, and I’m certainly not buying...

I have an idea of basing my booklet about tennis in Manchester under ‘entertainment’ and I have found that Manchester has its own tennis league. Even if I don’t go through with the idea for one reason or another I would love to watch some of the matches, but I think I need to make up my mind pretty soon.

Exploring Graphic Communication - First Thoughts
We have been given a brief to design an 8 page booklet sponsored by ‘creative tourist’ and in association with Salford m3 magazine which will be free and placed around local areas like shops and cafes. We have also been asked to create some web flats to go with the booklet.
Looking through the brief it is clear that we have been given a broad range of options choosing from, entertainment to urban...

Final Thoughts
First off, I don’t really know if I have done enough work for this brief, I have been posting a lot of work on this blog over the past couple of days linking it with my sketch book, final designs and development work. I think that I could have done much more research in general, I have always struggled, but it shouldn’t be that hard, I’m just making it harder than it is. I think I could have...
