Current Postcards


I Like how these are looking so far. But not sure about 1993 and 1995 as they don't quite sit right with the other postcards and i might go back and alter them.

Y2k Postcard


When developing this i had problems as the ideas which i had didn't really work digitally and many of the other ideas that i had didn't seem to work too well either so i went back and did some ideas and feel that its more of the outcome i wanted.

Russian Postcard


For this postcard i wanted the style of russian constructivism and feel that this comes across however i had problems trying to create a background for the image and felt that the empty space needed to be filled

Sheep Postcard




Through my ideas I've realized that each postcard is going to have to be significantly different from the other so that it can best communicate the idea. I like this idea but it doesn't really work along side the other postcards.

Mountain Postcard


After going through various ways it could look i settled on a black and white one as the others didn't quite work. I added colour and felt it improved it alot more

Train Postcard


I looked at creating a simplified image of a train but ended up creating a collage of images and textures and felt that the image was too complicated and i felt i needed to go back and simplify it. So i decided to remove aspects of the image that weren't needed.

For this brief i wanted to use more mixed media and try to put more of my own textures into my work. First i looked at creating my own paint textures and brushes for photoshop. after i looked at photographing textures that i could use.

Some photo retouching



My dad took some photos for the new harley shop in leeds which could be used to promote that store. I retouched some of the photos.

Wednesday

Lloyds TSB Press ad


This is how the press ad would work in a newspaper

Final Posters - bakery






I feel that these designs keep the simplicity i wanted from the brief and feel that they work well. I think i could have improved them a bit more though by making the image of the food the same size in each poster.

Final Leaflet


Final Packaging - bakery




i think these turned out quite well. I didn't go with the sticker idea on the bag packaging because i didn't feel it was necessary.

Logo changed again




It was mentioned in my tutorial that the swirl in the bakery logo was more associated with coffee rather than pastries so i decided to try and alter it so it didn't suggest that. however despite altering slightly the general feedback was still coffee. So i looked at using the simple silhouette from the packaging and feel that it works better than the swirl shape used before as its clearer

Poster progression and press ad






I've finished the posters. Now i feel that the press ad will be the same as the billboard design. I did consider more text however i feel that the images chosen don't work well when put portrait and the layout.

Concurico Final

Concurico

I felt i wasn't progressing as i should have been so i decided to do a one day brief to get myself working as i should. I found another brief related to creating a logo for company based in Finland. The name i found doesn't mean anything however i assume its a combination of the words connection and curious. So i decided to use connect as a concept for some of my ideas.

Mail shot dev


It was suggested in the tutorial that i try to implement the tones from the posters so i tried an felt that the one which worked the most is the far bottom left one. It feel the others don't quite work and feel that aspects of them don't work with the existing design
