First project back is to design shipping packaging for Mr Porter. my idea was to create a design that would be used again and made out of good strong materials no half measures as this reflects Mr Porter brand. This flat pack box i have created is held together by push studs so it can be put up or took down when it is needed also when folded down it can be stored in the lid.the third image down is the inside to the box in my design this is made out of a material cusioning the inside of the box and on the right hand side inside the lid i have created a pocket to hold the documents folder shown below. I would of really liked to make this box and have the finished product for my own use but due to time and expense i cant. i am pleased with my overall design i feel that it is something that would work well and look very presentable if i could add something to this i think it would be a tissue paper with a print to wrap the items inside the box, i feel that would really finish this idea off.

First is the documents enclosed folder that will sit inside the pocket of the box. this folder can then be reused for keeping documents safe or a folder if they have something to carry in the future. by using a mr porter branded one it is putting the brand out there that little bit more, this is the same for the tag middle left this could be used on a suitcase and they already have there name and address printed in a nice type. i created this tag and ribbon so the packaging box can be tied together with the documents inside safely stored flat inside and the ribbon will tie the box tag attached so the courier still knows a destination, the gift arrives and is perceived as a present making the buyer feel a sense of occasion on opening there parcel.

I have recently been gaining work experience for Agrafica print and design, my first task was the KP Simpson logo, i was sent a very pixelated image that i traced over in illustrator to sharpen up i managed alright and managed to size right and was happy with the outcome, I didn't put anything into the design and used the colour from the already existing logo this was just a tracing exercise. The TMG logo i created for carls other business The Marketing Guru. I made this big and bold as it needs to make as much as an impact as possible, We chose red as the main colour as recently a lot of successful companies and teams use this colour which makes red a successful colour. i sent these to carl and he was happy with them and now awaiting to discuss more work.

First is a logo I created for a comic book called spoony stories. I really liked this logo as it fitted so well with the illustrations inside the book, also created by me. The book has quite an 'Alice In Wonderland' feel to it and I think the logo with the hand written text and mushroom illustration is very complimentary.

Further development on my personal logo. This is a lot less busier than my last logo as I have removed the highlights and shading loosing the shiny glossy feel to this flat edge. I have lost the shadows set behind the logo and given it solid 3D as well as giving it a slight outline so it will work in black and white. I am still happy with the first but I definitely think this is a step forward.

A quick mock up of how my P.O.S (point of sales) display would look.  Overall I am happy with how it turned out and what I produced in a week. This would look better if it was actually made rather than a vector image because the textures of the cardboard and paper would add a bit of age almost.

The full label with text for the front and fold marks and glue tabs. The label was designed so that it is only glued in two places and wrapped around the box. I chose to do it this way so it follows the idea of the box that folds up to fit together without glue using minimal materials which was what I kept in mind when producing this.

Label I created for the back of the box. I am pleased with what I have produced but if I had a bit extra time or planned out my time a bit better I would of produced a design more similar to the era we were looking at. This design feels a bit blank.

First assignment of the second year. To work in a group of three rebranding a brand or item of our choice. My group decided to rebrand quaker granola. We decided after looking at the branding that we would go back to the era where quaker came from 1877. We came up with the idea of making a one of sales idea of selling a jar with the granola so consumers would have a nice jar to sit on their work top as opposed to a plastic bag or box. My input to this one week project was the above which is the template I created for a P.O.S (point of sales) display to carry the granola and jar in one easy carrier. This means easier to stack and carry also protecting the product which is essential.

A last few little adjustments and it is now finished. I am happy with the final outcome.

I think it suits the NHS and would look very smart clean and straight forward for 

the department.

 

This is the logo I have been working on. I am still unsure about it and still think 

it needs more work. I'm not 100% on the idea I need to look back to rough 

ideas and maybe look a bit more at the nhs logos etc. This should help.

Design a twizzy, is a competition I entered. I made a kind of wrapping

paper or skin that I then put onto the car using a clipping mask.

I produced a line drawing that duplicated many times to make my skin.

Most recent thing I have done. I created this poster/t-shirt idea that I made up from the event

Grenade. Then I spoke to Dan who runs Grenade and I sent him this.  He really liked it and 

offered me a spot in the promotion team which is a good score as my part time work had 

stopped.

Some self branding this is now my logo. Very happy with this as whilst

I was creating this in illustrator I got very into what I could do and what

effects I could achieve.  Originally I wanted to create this kind of 3D look

and thought I'm never going to be able do that. Then after quite a few days trying different things 

I actually made what I was looking for. Cannot describe how good that felt!

I like typography and this is a canvas I done in my spare time and now

sits on the back of my desk. I'm very pleased with this :)

This is my second brief to redesign the penguin book cover for One Flew Over 

the Cuckoos Nest. I took a very typographic approach to this. My idea was to

make the book look similar to how the cigarette packets looked from this era 

but not to make it too alike though i would of like to spend some more time 

 developing some drawings, stamps or possibly a boarder as this looks very 2d.

My favourite thing about this project has to be when developing ideas and I

realised how I could join the F and K and fit everything around them. I thought 

it was quite cool.

This is my first brief to r design the college bistro. Overall the visual look of 

the finished piece I like, I just think i chose the wrong name for the target 

audience. The flyer at the bottom I developed so it folded up to make 

the logo of "The Beastro". I like this idea and will keep this in mind to try again

in different shapes etc. Even though I didn't appeal to the right audience I still

feel pleased by my final and think it could work somewhere.
