My inspirations for this project were a combination of a few designers I have looked at. I tried to merge the ideas together to create eye catching spreads. As I am a big fan of the minimalistic approach, I studied other’s techniques and tried to recreate some of their ideas. This also helped me toContinue reading “Evaluation of Unit 2”

Image Edits I took the images collected in my research and edited them to make them brighter and clearer. I used an app called VSCO because I like the effects on it. I did a couple of edits on certain pictures as some I preferred with a blur on the edges of the images, howeverContinue reading “The Food Project: Developments”

For this brief, the first task was to come up with 3 ideas for a food article. I had to come up with my own titles and subheadings, but I could use existing text. As well as this, I had to think about the attitude and visual tone of voice for the magazine. My ideasContinue reading “The Food Project: Research”

Using these thumbnails I did a few tests to work out how to use inDesign. I wanted to explore colour because Wes Anderson uses colour to portray certain themes. I also looked at typing on a path, however I didn’t like any of these outcomes. I really liked the use of big font I foundContinue reading “The Wes Anderson Project: Developments”

I decided to look at artists who are inspired by their surroundings; this was helpful in getting my ideas rolling. I liked looking at the font book I have on Helvetica,Continue reading “Brief 4: Letter and Space Evaluation”

I have chosen my final outcomes for this project. I have turned them into a GIF because I like the switching between colours. I am happy with this outcome because I think it successfully portrays the idea of feeling safe and secure in your bed. I decided upon the orange and blue colours because theContinue reading “Brief 3: Letter and Space Application”

I started to look at the word “space” and explore this aspect of the brief further. I came up with the idea of safe spaces, home comforts, comfort zones and your own space. I thought during the current climate of the world, the idea of your home or your bedroom was a safe place toContinue reading “Brief 2: Letter and Space Development”

For this new brief, I have been allocated the letter ‘S’. My challenge is to design the letter around a location by gathering information. The location doesn’t have to start with the letter, it has to have a connection. I came up with words beginning with S and draw how this letter feels to me.Continue reading “Brief 1: Letter and Space Research”
