23rd Aug is the first time I arrived in London after studying in the UK. London is a very busy and fashion city. Pedestrians and a variety of illustrations and posters are everywhere on the street. The tutors arranged for us to visit Tate Modern. Tate Modern’s building is high and modern. when you saw this building, you will think it is a very hard building because it is a honeycomb-like structure built of bricks.
As for me, I am very interested in the front design. I saw some works on the font design in the exhibition. Although the designers didn’t change the fonts, these fonts are still very common . But they use some colors to highlight these fronts made these posters just have some words but can attract people’s attention. This method makes me thought that if I want to make a poster with the title which is catches the eye. You cannot do very complex fronts. You can use color change to attract people’s attention.
I also saw a very interesting work in the museum, which is a photo of the process of recording a complete piece of paper into a paper ball. This reminds me of a work I used to express a different state with jujube. I used jujube to express a lot of transforms such as subtractive, asymmetrical, distortion and abstraction, etc.
What impressed me the most in the exhibition was the tower with radios of different ages. The lowest level radios are the oldest and the highest level radios are the latest. This tower is very spectacular work and every radio is working. Nowadays most people not use radios at home. These radios of different ages not only witness the development of times but also the recycling of the radios .
