A logo and webpage I designed over the summer for a neon lighting company. The client wanted a fresh, slick approach to present her neon creations.

The storyboard for Bedtime Flirts leader banner - based on the style and imagery of the mpu banner.

Today at 'Strange' I worked on the leader banner of the Bedtime Flirts bridal collection.

Today I have been assigned to create a banner for the 'Bedtime Flirt' website. Bedtime Flirt is an online lingerie store that want 'Strange' to create a banner for their website with one of the following copy's:

3. Beautiful bridal collections available now

I am to create an MPU (300 x 250) storyboard to show what the banner consists of.


This is the first draft of my storyboard for the 'Bedtime Flirt' banner.

Placement-Day2

The creative director gave his opinions for improvement on the first draft of my web page.


This is my final home page for the charity Purple Tear drop.

I then further developed the web page: experimenting with colour, font size etc.

Placement- Day1

My first day at Strange - The Manager Director (Paul Honey) gave me a talk through about the company and all about what they do. They are a Creative Digital Marketing agency that handles all aspects in these departments for their clients. He showed me a presentation about how the company works and work they have done for clients.

I then sat in on the weekly briefing - they have a morning meeting at the beginning of every week to schedule everyones work for the week. This organizes everyone responsibilities for the week of work.

I then looked at some websites strange has designed for clients and was shown the development between the wire-frame and the actual web page. I was then given the wire-frame for a website they are working on at the moment - for a global charity 'Purple Teardrop.' My brief is to work to the wire-frame and create my own version of the home page.

Everyone is really friendly and helpful, with a very enthusiastic impression towards their work.

Design Styles

I love the style of this article. The type has been altered to give a quirky edgy feel to the font. This reinforces the rock/pop style of the musician that the article is based on.

Layout for Tobias Frere-Jones Article

This is the first draft of my layout. I feel that the fine typography and amount of empty space compliments the timid personality of Tobias Frere-jones.

Visual Communication in Context

For our new brief we have to create a 4-page illustrated magazine article, representing selected sections of an interview by a particular designer. The designer that was allocated to me wasthe typographic designer Tobias Frere-Jones. 

We had a guest talk by a copy writer form the design agency CHI & Partners. He concentrated on how a variety of mediums are used to present the impact of a message. For example, the Burger King viral: Whopper Virgins. 

This is a good example of a successful viral that people would pass along to friends/family etc.

My Animation

Today I completed the final touches on my storyboard. I have decided to use After Effects to create my animation. This is because flash wont be able to meet the effect I am looking for. I have taken inspiration from the style of 'Come to Brazil' by Psyop and 'Xmas' by We Choose Time.

Screen Based Communication

On Monday the 25th January we were introduced to the new brief: Screen based communication 1. For this brief we have to create a 30-90 second animation visually explaining a statistic and its critical stance. The animation has to persuade the viewer that my argument is correct.

I have chosen to use the statistic: 'Music has the power to relieve depression by up to 25%.' (I found this on this statistic on the BBC News Website.) I researched into the affects of music and found out that: music genres such as, Pop and Dance have been proven to affect peoples emotions in an up-lifting way. I also found out that genres such as Harp, Classical, Chanting and Mediative music can strengthen the immune system.

I am going to use music and graphical imagery alongside one another to reinforce my musical statistic. I want the audience to feel more upbeat and happier after watching my animation. And therefore my statistic would be proven correct.

War on Want Final Poster and Second Dimention

I created a poster for an adshel bus stop and a second dimension to support this. The meaning of my poster and second dimension was to create awareness of child labour in developing countries and to change the views of people’s thoughts on low-cost products.

My final poster design developed from several very different design ideas. I decided to use images that symbolised a child instead of using the imagery of children in poverty. This is because I think this type of imagery is commonly used in charity advertisement and would seem boring to the viewer. A child’s handprint expresses a very childlike impression. This is because it relates to playfulness and childhood experiences. It also shows a similarity with all children. Every child’s handprint is similar to one another; similar shape, structure etc. this shows all children deserve to be equal. However, the meaning of my poster is to bring attention to children in developing countries and how they lead completely different life’s to those born into a developed country. The children’s stories on the poster reinforce this to the audience to make them aware that all children should have the opportunity for a fair future and education.

The second dimension reinforces the meaning of the poster. As my poster relates to sweatshops I wanted to aim it towards a younger audience. This is because fashionable clothing at a low price is very important to this age group, as it fits in with their lifestyle; students with little to spend on essential clothing. And the perfect stores to buy these low cost goods from are War on Wants’ number one bargain retailers that create the problem that my campaign is fighting against. Therefore, by bringing the campaign directly to the problem will change people’s views on what they are buying. The aim of my second dimension is to show the shopper how easy it is to contribute to the problem; buy directly putting their goods into a working child’s hands. This gives direct connection between the audience and the child in need for their help, this creates a feeling of guilt from the viewer. It shows them how they are individually making the situation even worse. However, the typography anchors the meaning of the campaign; pay a fair price for clothing, instead of encouraging the viewer not to buy clothing.
