2nd year D+AD exhibition

A selection of pics from our exhibition. Our group were called 'Framed'

Its been a while...

ere is a quick update on what i've been working on over the last couple of weeks. Firstly we were given a live brief from Stonewall to create a campaign that encourages people to vote. Our group decided that the message should be that you have no right to complain about government if you do not vote in the first place. We wanted people to enjoy the thought of voting and get excited about it as the American's do. We had fun doing the project and were quite pleased with our video, However I think we should have done a voice over for the film to explain its crazyness!  I am really proud that we didn't take the standard perhaps cliche aproach other groups did, and tried to make the idea of voting more entertaining and engaging. I think we identified the need to look at non traditional routes/ideas to reach the Uk's non voters.

New work

Work Shop Brief

Here's where im at with the workshop brief. We have to design a logo/brand for someone in our class, then apply the logo to a letter head, comp slip and business card. I'm designing for Olivia Haigh. I took her initials and wanted to work with the conept "oh!" so it looked like a statement. I think it's relevant as her work is quite graphic, and it contains computer development, which is usually associated with male graphic designers. I wanted to use the name 'oh!' to convey my first reaction of seeing her work, in relation to the above reasoning.Here are some of my first
designs, spoke to tutor and Olivia, they think i should develop the more hand written style font.

in these designs i like how the logo can be interlinked to create a design, or pattern for a background etc.

Not keen on the colour scheme in these set of designs but thik they communicate the idea of the spoken 'oh!' more so than any of the others.

I like this font but just dont think it is relevant here. The logo looks more like " o hi "

Olivia Haigh really liked the colour scheme here, so i will continue with using these colours. I also quite like the lines, but not sure they will work with a more hand written type face as they look quite rigid, ill experiment and see.
