Summer '09

Heyyyy

I thought I would make a post as I have neglected my blog for sometime now. To be honest this is due to the face I have not done anything very interesting. I have spent a lot of time with family as I am living at home in Port Glasgow for summer. 

I also spent a few weeks in Carlisle with friends and been on a few day trips here and there. 

I have just started working on re-designing my website so watch this space....haha x

Annual Report Brief

okkkkk so these are the designs I did using the images that I posted a couple of weeks ago. I had them taken and edited to use for a brief thats have been on going for a while now in uni. There was a choice whether to do Art Direction or Annual Report. I stupidly chose to do the annual report for and organisation called 'The Ramblers' Association'.

now for the bad bit...

I really liked my images and designs I used them in. I felt I had a not bad to good crit after the hand in. However I got a not so good (i feel) mark :( i was given 55%. Which is still respectable, however, the comments I recieved from the tutors seem much more deserving over a higher mark.

To be totally honest I am just quite annoyed with the way things are being run at the moment and would like some changes....but oh well!

here are a few of the designs....

Mapping Brief

This is my design for our uni mapping brief. I didn't really like this brief but once I got going on screen I kind of enjoyed it a little. I got 55% for this. Im not really happy with that but whatcha gona do?! passing is the main thing I guess.

Photography ♥ oh and.....THANX GORDON

These are a few photos taken by Gordon that I have been editing to use in my Annual Report designs. I am quite happy with the way are looking. Will post the designs when they are actually done :P

D&AD?!

These might not look it, but they was a total pain to put together! Hopefully printing them tomorrow and sending them off to D&AD on Tuesday?..i think? haha x

My First 1st ♥

Hi hi hi :) its been a while since I have made a new post :) So I thought I would sort that out with the work I have done for my latest uni brief.

I am pretty happy with the work I did for this Homebase 'Grow Your Own' brief! The lecturers gave me 72%!!!! 

Which makes me even happier :) that is my best mark to date so on wards and up wards hopefully?!

Books books booksssssss

These are my book cover designs for our latest uni brief :] I got 65% so I quite pleased! We has to design for an academic series called 'A Very Short Introduction' and also design a cover for a fiction book. I really like my 'A Bit of Earth' design but want to work on the backs of my series covers :)
