I recently collaborated with another graphics student lily ray to produce these wedding invites for a friend. Who was very pleased with our result. i am currently looking to have these printed double sided or other options if available.

        

I am currently working on a D&Ad brief for the 2013 student awards. i chose this brief because the creative challenge was extremely flexible and positive. the creative challenge is to create a positive social or environmental impact utilising the power of a unilever brand. an i chose lipton as it is nice, fun and vibrant, with a strap line drink positive it already relates to my brief also there are strict guidelines as to positioning of logo and what is acceptable etc this may be a bit restricting but i know exactly what they see as right and acceptable and work my design around this. i am currently working on my visuals this week and next and i will be uploading them once my work has been assessed.

As well as my Fd Graphics i decided it would be a good idea to take part in a one month short course of one day a week 10-5 on lectures starting from writing a business plan, types of research we should be using to gain certain benefits and why, presenting to a client, licenses & insurance's for the company/business, tax/vat. and i have notes and handouts i have collected from attending each time. and also have found a useful contacts and learned a lot from this course and i have always wanted to work for myself one day, or aiming to a higher position in the work place. this course has also helped me as i have learnt about copyright laws and how to protect my work.

On my course i have just finished a five week module digital applications. I produced this work booklet in indesign compiling my notes with screenshots and annotations to show my work throughout the month but this also doubles up as a guide that covers the basics in photoshop and illustrator. so if i am stuck in the future need an idea or have forgot what to do i have this to refer to as a prompt.

Live breif/ work experience/ final piece

In my latest project i was given the opportunity to be self directed, i work as a free lance graffiti artist as well as a graphic designer, about two weeks before i was given the project i was contacted by sns service and repair garage. they wanted their dim plain shutter revamped advertising there business as best as possible. i came up with this big bold easy to read and eye catching piece that will be bright and vibrant to draw in as much attention as possible. i related this to my studies by relating this to typography following the terminology best i can whilst still producing a piece of graff.  unfortunately i have not been able to follow up by painting the piece due to weather conditions as this would effect my work as i have stated and explained in my work booklet. but this has gave me more than enough time to plan and price and i will be continuing the job in spring. in the mean time i have been working indoors producing murals for friends and clients.

This project i have really worked at putting my research into a more professional and presentable manor . i am very happy with the booklet i produced and developed, i was pleased withe the titles colour scheme and composition gave my work the right look i was aiming for, also i have know started digitally storing my research on pintrest and i find this to be a quicker and easier way to do this as i am putting together pin boards rather than pages. after i had pieced together my book i then had this bound and it looks a lot better than how i was working before and i will choose to work this way again and develop this further and look further into editorial broadening my area of skills.
