Still alive and kicking!

So I've moved to southampton to study a BA in Graphic design. and so i am enjoying it. We went on a trip to amsterdam and were told we have to create 2 double page spreads on the given locations (mine was the tuschinski cinema) but we were allowed to stray off topic if we felt it was necessary. So i brought a 35mm slr camera with me to get all my photos. mostly down to the fact i don't have any other camera. But because i took so many photos with this method i unfortunately lost many many potentially awesome photos which broke my heart.

As i spent alot of the trip taking photos i felt that i should use one of the black and white ones that i shot on ilford xp5. as for the layout i wanted to keep it simple with the typography on the left while still giving room for the body copy

this is my more simple modern layout. i like this style and i think it compliments how amsterdam is. As it comes across clean and thought out which is sort of like the city.

just getting some ideas down here as potential titles playing about with different fonts seeing how they work together.

Escapizm

For my most recent project i decided to create a website which you could type in your postcode and search for walks in the local area. This website is based around the idea of needing to escape and relax.

Here is the homepage you would be greeted by when you visit escapizm.com

C~ Music

A friend of mine has recently started his journey into electronic music production. And to support him i created a simple logo so to give him more definition and symbolism. Although its early days for C~ (pronounced C squiggly) i have alot of faith in his talent to progress over the next few years. Check out his progress now at https://soundcloud.com/calvin-seymour/ And while your at it check out https://soundcloud.com/the-dr-is-in

Everybody loves rap music.

So why not create a few minimalism posters based around rap artists? These designs were all created this morning while waiting for lesson to start. It was more a brief task to keep me entertained and occupied while time was going by. Also while listening to hip hop.

Bellow the artists i've posted some videos so you can check them out for your selfs.

 

Life of Pi Minimal Book Cover

Created using Illustrator. Here i was set the task of creating a movie poster in a minimal style. I decided on using Yann Martels life of pi because from watching the film recently i understand what needs to be summarised to portray the story the way it is. In the film there where many scenes where everything was very minimal anyway and this makes for good inspiration when designing a relevant minimalist poster.

After creating the poster i cam to the conclusion it would look much better as a book cover, so i decided to add a few extra things so it could also serve that purpose. This gives the design more flexibility in its use. Also created on Illustrator Full book cover for Life of Pi Using Minimalism to summarise the main visual aspects of the film. I used things that would be recognisable to make a link to the story as this would portray the story exactly how it is.

Also a desktop wallpaper version incase you are interested.

Phileas Fogg Non Potato Crisps

This is a poster i created for an advertising project. The brief stated that it must be for a non potato crisp. I chose the brand Phileas Fogg because i love their house style and wanted to work with it.
