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.

Too ill to get out of bed? I'll make posters.

After deciding i don't want to leave my bed today i then realised i can't sit here in silence for the next 12 hours doing nothing. So i decided it make some minimalist posters for a few of my favourite electronic artists.

I Started with The Orb. for the background i used a photo of the sky which i then created a bitmap layer which i multiplied on top if it.This is what inspired the font choice of "CHEESE PIZZA" I also chose circles for the obvious reason that its a poster for "The Orb".

Once again following the same style here but instead using yellow triangles. I thought these would relate well to flying lotus and they have a very mystic sound to them which i feel could be related to pyramids and ancient civilisation. 

As a big fan of Boards of Canada i am aware they have a song called turquoise hexagon sun. So i instantly thought of this when i was trying to think of a shape to represent them.

The adventures of a sleepy orange

Heres a comic i made yesterday about an orange is space. The idea came from when i was eating the largest orange i've ever come across. Jokes were thrown around about it having its own centre of gravity and the thought of it in space stuck in my mind, So i just had to get it visualised. I enjoyed trying this Benday dot style and i think ill use it again. In my eyes this was a success! 

What are you thinking about George?

Just stuff i guess.
