Project 13 - Farm to Market

Project 12 - Skate or Die

Project 11 - Think Crime

For this project we had to design the perfect crime. After much thought and deliberation I had come up with a simple idea. Stealing Cookies. If executed correctly, there would be no way that you could be caught - it's actually really simple and if you live in the flats - I'm sure if you do it correctly your flatmates wouldn't be able to find out.

Project 10 - The Graphic Design Cookbook

For this project I made a cake in a shape of a letter from a particular typeface. I made my letter in shape of a 't' from the typeface Bookman Old Style Bold. I made the mould for the cake out of tin foil which I had moulded around a cardboard template of the tin which I had also made before baking.

Project 9 - Top Trumps

For this project, we were to design a Top Trump card for yourself relating to your skills as a Graphic Designer. For this project we used a combination of work from Photoshop, Illustrator and In Design as a quick introduction on how to use these programs.

Project 8 - Wing of a Bee

For this project I had to design a wing based on a concept. At first I had a completely different idea but I had changed it to the idea of Pokemon as everyone should understand the concept easily with the iconic characters and images that I had used. Every part of the butterfly was using the Pokemon concept, even the butterfly's body was also using a character from the Pokemon series. The wing's shape was created using the cable from one gameboy, connecting it to the other gameboy on the other side of the wing. 

Project 7 - Brick

For this project we had to think of 100 ways to use a brick. Then we had to present it on an A2 Sheet hand drawn and in black and white.

(Sorry about the quality - I really need to scan this in or replicate it digitally)

Project 6 - Matchmaker

We had to design wrapping paper for the clothing store 'Matches', the designs were to be colourful but still feel like it is related to the store's style in some way. It was hard as the store's colour scheme was black and white so it proved to be hard to think of ideas initially but these are the ideas that I had come up with.

Project 5 - Pay to Play

This project required us to as a class donate a pound to the cash prize which was around £50 as there are around 50 designers in the class. We had to design a new pound coin which addressed to current global financial crisis. My idea was based on that there were too many debts and not enough money around - the reason behind the whole financial climates is the fact that people have been borrowing money and not being able to pay others back which caused the situation at present.

Project 4 - Meet Me Round the Corner (Part 2)

We had to make a double page spread of a map from our journey in Central London. It took me a while to think of an idea that I liked. I then though of the idea of showing every single location I had went to representing them in a vectorised format which made them look simple and clean. There is also a key at the bottom which labels the locations.

Project 4 - Meet Me On The Corner (Part 1)

This project was a rather interesting project to complete as it was a two part project that required going to Central London and completing the list of tasks given to us. There was a list of 40 tasks which we had to complete in order to complete the second part of the project which followed. The day was really fun and we definitely travelled more than we thought by foot. It was an interesting experience wandering around London with a map (looking like a tourist) but it was good fun nonetheless and was well worth the walk.

Project 3 - Brand Me Up Buttercup!

For this project I had to brand my partner, my partner was Sarah (sorry for having your picture on my blog). For my logo I had gone through various different ideas which were initially too complicated to be depicted as a logo. 

Project 2 - Stairway to Helvetica

For my second project we were to write and record a song about a chosen typeface then we were to film a music video as well as the second part of our project. We were put into groups so we could work together on this project. In these groups we then randomly selected a typeface and then from there we began our work. My group had to create a song for the typeface 'Eurostile'. In order to write the song we had to research about Eurostile to include the facts into our song. After hours of thinking and writing lyrics, we had decided to write the song to the tune of The Fresh Prince of Bel Air.

Project 1 - Hello My Name Is

The first project set was 'Hello My Name Is'. This project required us to fill in the boxes with drawings which we were only allowed a set time limit per image. This project allowed me to practise working under pressure, which was a lot of fun to do and I will definitely try to do something like this again.

I will update the image with a high quality scan when I can.
