All Finished for Christmas!!

Today was the presentation for TYPE COACH.
I wanted to show my biscuits that I had made for it, but didn't get time in the presentation which I was a bit gutted about.
But, after using just 3 out of the 26 that I made, they looked good in the packaging that I had made to keep them fresh to give out.

Basically, I did this as when the type coach is driving around to different places and various school/college children/teenagers will be seeing this. They could give out certain biscuits or cakes, but not just any you buy from Morrisons!.. making them in the shape of letters of the alphabet. I actually came up with the idea of after making these letter biscuits, iI then wrap them in clear celefane then seal them, then add a tag or a sticker to the bottom of them, (which is where the ingredients goes), and instead write some information about a typographer, or in this case I just wrote the typographers name with the initial of their second name for the letter used.

I loved this idea, and think that it would work well, although my final product didn't involve the biscuits it was a brilliant idea, and could still be used with the new idea as a double based idea.

See the images below for the look of the biscuits after they were 'packaged'.

Type Coach Possible Logo Design

I want to base my brochure on a pastel green and also grey, I think the colours work well together, and they also compliment each other.

I want a bold logo, but not too indepth as i don't want to take away from the brochure, but also want to show its typography.

Type Coach

Had a new brief given to us about 2-3 weeks ago, called Type Coach which basically is a coach that carries different typographers round to various stops in the UK, this isn't real by the way. 

We have been asked to produce: Business Card, Compliment Slip & Letterhead as well as a 4 page brochure.

I am really enjoying this brief at the moment, as it is quite fulfilling.

I'm not gunna let out any of my plans but what I will say is that i'm loving the ideas that i've got!

Watch this space!!

Film 4 Poster Exhibition

The exhibition went really well, all of the posters from first year and second year were put up in the gallery.

First years was based on a play called 'Into the woods'. A project I am not familiar with to be honest, as i didn't do this one in the first year.

I have received my marks back from the Film4 poster, and the sketch book and got Merit/Distinction which i'm really happy with, its an improvement from my last project and i really enjoyed it.

BBC ORCHESTRA DEADLINE

Right well, lets be honest i didn't do very well on this one! Its not the right attitude but it was so boring!!

I got through on a pass which isn't the worst but i am going to work my socks off on my next brief! :).

Here is an image of my final piece, the BBC ORCHESTRA.

It is aimed at students at college or univerisity.

Its not my best piece but personally its not as bad as others! 

Enjoy.

Back to college

Back to college now as a second year...

Got 2 briefs at the same time now. 

First one is called the BBC Symphony Orchestra and the second it a Film 4 advertisement.

The BBC Symphony Orchestra brief is to design a 6 page brochure aimed at children. The target audience can be aimed from 3 months for example to young adults. It must include hand drawn imagery of the instruments or the category the instruments come under such as Brass, Woodwind, Percussion & Strings. You can also add in the Conductor. You must write about each one on their specific page. 

This brief has got to be handed in on 22nd October 2009.

The Film 4 brief is to design an advertising poster for an intelligent film. It can be any film you want, and it says to not have seen it before, so choose one at random I'm guessing. It can be aimed at any target audience and can be done completely on Computer. The poster must contain the Film 4 logo, as well as the Channel 4 logo. 

This brief has to be handed in end of November 2009.

Going to really enjoy this!

First Year finished!

I have finished my first year in Graphic Design, and hopefully am going to be designing some pieces in the time that I have off.

Got my results back from this year, MDD. Very happy with that!

Status

We have been recently given a brief called 'Status'.

Its based on an Ebay type shop and we have been asked to design its stationary & shop front.

I'm really looking forward to this brief as I know i'm going to really enjoy it. Its what i enjoy doing most.

I have chosen to use white space on mine, as its not always a bad thing. I have also designed 4 seperate business cards, with 4 different colours on, for the different people. I also designed 4 sets of letter heads and compliment slips.

We were asked to choose what kind of things we would be selling and i chose to make mine a little boutique selling ladies second hand clothes. I am very happy with what i chose.

There is an image below of of the shop front and some images of the stationary mounted for presentation.

Let me know what you think.

Enjoy.
