Print job!

Okay, so this isn't course related but Myself and Zeke scored a job printing tees for Hotel Soho. The designs were all ready for us. We just had to tweak a few things to make them more print friendly. Was a fun experience and hopefully will help us get more jobs in future!

Introducing a flyer.

 For this task we had to create a flyer which promoted an attraction in the city we live in. For me I chose MONA as it is of huge interest lately due to it's truly unique experience. The task called for us to create a map using illustrator and pen tool/paths. This map had to show directions to our attraction. Also there had to be some sort of text wrapping around an image on the flyer. This took me a while as I was being quite pedantic. But I'm happy with the result!

Tracing a map

In this task we had to recreate/re-draw the map of Tasmania which was given to us, by using the pen tool to create and learn how to use paths! The key things to do in this task were to create the island and outline, roads, towns, ocean and also show where elevation points were by using colour. This was one of the first times I have used Illustrator so I found it challenging, tedious, but mostly rewarding! We also had to create a texture pattern for the ocean.
Enjoy.

Type Quotes.

We were given a selection of quotes to form a poster using only type. The reason for the task was to show that words have the ability to give off feeling and emotions which add meaning to designs.
This is the final product. 

Design final assessment!

For the final assessment task there were two tasks. Part A consisted of created a contemporary design for the AGideas design conference. The flyer had to appeal to both students and designers alike. Part B was basically free design. The only restrictions were it must be a postcard and must show my representation of colour. Both designs answer to the problems and I'm quite proud of what I have accomplished.
Enjoy.

Anatomy of Type

Hey everyone!

It's been so long since I have posted!
This particular piece was one of my favorites as I enjoy working with type. The assignment was to create a poster using only type to give a brief showcase of the "Anatomy of Type."
Feedback/Comments would be appreciated!

Typography: My name is...

Black Squares Part A

To get to the solution I used an A4 sheet and fiddle around with the four squares for each meaning. This is what I ended up with!

Black Squares Part B

Scouring through my body boarding magazines i found a few advertisements which gave these emotions through their composure.

Creating a story using a scanner:

I had never really scanned any objects before. So trying to make a scanned image tell a story was quite interesting. I gathered a couple of items from my room to depict the story of "night life". This is what i ended up with.

Introduction

Hello all!

Over the year I hope to share with you my designs regarding this course and some of my own personal work.

I decided to study graphic design this year because I started to screen print my own t-shirts with a mate, Zeke, who is also enrolled in this course . We have been printing them on and off for around year now with great interest, but i would like to further my skills with the adobe programs so i can produce more ambitious designs. The picture inset is one of our tees with the design, a halftone image of a giraffe with a T.V for a head.

I hope to gain inspiration from everyone as we move through this course and I'm looking forward to broadening my skills.
