Magazine DPS for 'Homework'

I had fun creating this Magazine Double Page Spread. I created it to contain an interview with a design company called Homework. I used my Vector skills on Adobe Illustrator to create the letters for the heading. I took inspiration from the design company itself but added my own design touch to it. I think it works well as magazine spread as it looks contemporary and innovative.

Childrens Book Illustrations

My brief at the moment is to effectively illustrate a children's story book. 

I have already written my story so these are some of my favorite development 

pages showing my initial approach to visually communicating illustrations 

using non-traditional media. 

Logo Generation

This is some development pages in progress of creating a logo for a Graphic Design blog I am in the process of designing at this very moment. I'm working on the blog in a group of four, where I was chosen to be the Art Director as they agreed I had the appropriate approach to take it on. The theme of using ink and a modern type is consistent because the style of my blog is going to use vintage textures, using this modern logo on top of these will suit the style and mood I am trying to convey which is 'Making Old New'. I'm sure the finished blog will look contemporary, eye-catching and something to look forward to seeing in the near future.

Ransom Notes

Here are some Book Jackets I designed for Hunter S Thompson books. I went through a lot of development before deciding on what the final concept was going to be. Experimenting with non-traditional media and materials was vital on this brief as I learnt a lot about what moods and themes a texture give off is vital.

This journal gave me a chance to explore myself and my own interests. I used different material and techniques to create exciting pages which each tell a different story. It is something I will treasure forever.

Hammer House Of Horrors Film posters

Here are five film posters I designed for Cornerhouse. They are for the Hammer House films which are quite tongue and cheek so I decided that creating them mostly hand-rendered with this style will work effectively.

Design With Type

Publish Post

Experimenting with different materials and choosing an appropriate phrase for them was educational and more importantly fun. I learnt how different styles and materials can communicate such an effective message and can can appear very eye-catching. Above I used Bread, Tape and Thread to create these phrases.

Three Advertisements for Scholl Shoe Spray

This advertising brief made me think about different ways of communicating with the target audience. The product I had to generate three effective ad's for was Scholl Shoe Spray. After developing the three ad's I then applied each one onto an appropriate media, because I was advertising Shoe Spray; I put my ad into a magazine, onto a mini town centre stand and a sticker on a town centre floor. I think my ads have worked effectively and appropriately in communicating a message to an audience.
