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.

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 :)

Event Poster

For my latest brief in uni we were given a brief to design a poster for one of a choice of events. We also were asked to design a piece for promotional direct mail. I chose to do the design for 'The World's Biggest Liar Competition" which is held every year in a pub in Cumbria. I wanted to do something a bit more quirky than my usual work, but wanted to keep it quite subtle. When researching the event all I kept saying 'liar liar pants on fire' in my head, so I decided to see where that idea went. And it went in many many directions! In the end I wanted to keep the concept simple, fun, interesting and eye-catching, to attract a new audience but not shy away the existing one.

I am really happy with the 2:1 mark I got for this work. I put a lot into this brief and was very happy with the end results. 

These are the designs for the poster and direct mail items, a voucher leaflet and beer mats.
