logo

this is my logo i have created a very simple logo with the two letters of my first name i felt that i wanted my logo to be bold and overly simple as i felt that if i put an enormous amount of effort in to the design i would in the not so distant future dislike and try to recreate my logo but i am very pleased with the simplicity of this logo i think that it is strong sturdy and goes with my style of design.

negotiated

these are the final pieces for my negotiated project, i feel that these peices will show a slightly more sophisticated side to my skills in graphic design, they were to be part of a magazine and were created to show someones diversity of friends in different friendship circles, i feel that these pieces are really strong eyecatching visuals and i am proud of the standard that i have managed to create these illustrations.

editorial, nick park 20 years

this is my final piece for my editorial project in which i chose to solve a brief for the london film festival, i chose wallace and gromit as i thought that this had the potential to be a very fun and creative subject i feel that i have created some great visuals using multi media this will be one of the strongest pieces in my portfolio and i think it shows my diverse skills in graphic design.

student union

this is one of my projects for the student union i have in my opinion came up with some very strong clever visuals useing local sayings "shy bairns get nowt"for the have your say day i think this is a great way to urge students to voice there opinion in college. and again i think with my witty idea useing a nusary rhyme that everyone is familiar with to provoke feelings about std's. "now you have it and you know it clap your hands"

4mations

this is my rebranding work for channel fours animation website 4mations, i think this project went quite well and i think this will be a strong point for my portfolio, i created a logo, banner animation, and website i think i have managed to create a fitting consistancy throughout my project.

more photography combined with great illustrations this time i like the contrast of sharpness between the photo and the loose sort of sketchy illustrations...

i love this kind of detailed childlike illustration style the lines used for the background are quite common but i think they enhance the style massively, i like the loose typography where the outline is shifted slightly to the left in order to create highlights in the letters. i think that this type of style is very trendy at the moment and i would like to use and take influence from this type of style at some point in the future.

keeping in unreal.

great editorial illustrations a very simple but effective layout/spread, three column pages and large detailed illustrations.  i think the colour palette is very nice aswell it gives off a very relaxed feel in these illustrations  also the typeography used is mild and not too much of a contrast, i like this type of flat illustration it works really well and creates a great overall feel for the editorial piece.

great nike poster illustrations such a simple concept yet such a strong visual, it almost reminds me of my year one Robson Brown NE1 final piece a cluster of bits and bobs making up a final shape or message, it is just a flat illustrator based piece with a slight photoshop filter over it to create a texture to the design. these are very cool visuals and could be taken alot further to create a large range of solutions to briefs.

i really like this illustration i love the detail used to create the hair, i think it is a very strong visual and i would like to use the concept of the woven line hair maybe for something typographic i think it could be carried through a editorial piece very well.

thought this was a very cool infographic type of illustration it could be a good visual for poster designs for club nights or something along those lines. maybe it couldbe a good way to make up different shapes or object. im not too sure how you would create this type of effect i think it could be possible in the 3d tool in illustrator maybe extrude and bevel.

flight of the yellow submarine.

i came across this flight of the concords illustration and i was reminded of how cool the beatles yellow submarine animations and cover art were, this is another timeless style that could have its place amongst my portfolio work i would like to utilise this sort of thing in the future.

i found this illustration and it instantly reminded me of how much i love saul bass although this piece seems to have a very modern twist to it, i suppose its just the highlights and sort of drop shadows  that make it seem a little bit more fitting with alot of recent illustration styles, i think this could be a very strong benifitial  style to future in my portfolio.

next day she was wearing my rolex.

i found this cool rolex clock design i thought it was a great way to get a message across, clever and a very strong way to communicate to the public, im not sure how i could use the idea in the future but if the oppertunity came about i think i would consider a similar solution to a design problem.

i really loved these illustrations for exibitions in london i thought the use of cool charicter design and typography worked really well, the use off colour enhanced the style of the illustrations, i think there posters were mainly compiled in illustrator and finally taken into photoshop to apply the filters that give the posters the rough grainy effect that ties the whole poster designs together, i think this style off illustration could work well for a range of projects and i will consider this kind of illustration for future briefs.

nuby

my first project was for NUBY a baby products company, i think that my work was fitting and did meet the clients needs although after i submitted the work i was informed that the brief was to create a packaging range that could be carried throughout there full line of products, and that my designs were nice but it would prove difficult apply this concept too there larger products, i used a very simple idea that was created solely in illustrator i wanted my designs to be very flat using bright colour and simple product information layouts. i did find this project quite difficult and at first struggled with initial ideas but i think i did manage to create some nice packaging for the products i chose. i think this project has helped me understand that i need to maybe think about the bigger picture when designing for a brand such as NUBY and i will be able too better my designs in the future.

finsta

finsta illustrations, not too sure if i have too say any more....

Alex Trochut

these are typographic illustrations by Alex Trochut, throughout his work he uses the combination of type and detailed illustration very well for a large range of clients. i am in love with his work and aspire to be capable of this standard of design at some point in my future. i also love the FILA campaign in which he merges photography and immensly detailed illustration it works so well and could be used in so many different ways for so many different subjects.

beatbag

thought this typographic illustration was great its promoting getting over heart disease and it incorporated a swirly heart with subtle use of colour i think this is a very pleasent visual to promote this subject.
