Work - Lottery Leaflet



My life has been plagued with content amends from a range of clients. Here is the current version of a leaflet for the Eden Valley Hospice Lottery, this is just the lastest in content amends. Currently just printing off my portfolio for university hand in however I have got a new client aboard, who is looking for a rebrand and websites for their hotels in the lakes, more coming soon.

Work In Progress - Cars, Catalogues and Planes


Today has been a range of long printing sessions, binding and touching up old projects for hand in next week. Whilst printing I quickly drew out these cars to show off my design for Eden Valley Hospice whilst waiting for the vinylls to be printed in the next weeks.




.RAW Catalogue Test Print


Additionally I am working with .RAW photography exhibition to create multiple out comes for their brand/events with today test printing the catalogue I have designed for them. I wanted to create a simple and clear layout for their catalogue with key colours being picked out the image and layed in the gutter. This was done to pull out the colours in the images and create a glow effect on the oppose page. The cover use their existing logo as a frame to play with depth in the images and crop in again to "tell the story within". You can see more of the work done them below on other posters and more coming up with invites and email mailers.






Plane App

 
Furthermore I am at the start of designing an app which explores the construct and technology in the Airbus A380. More coming on this project soon.

Work In Progress - Unfinished Catalogue



For part of today I have been creating the catalogue for the Photography degree show at the University of Cumbria, the rest of the day being absorbed by the nightmare of printing and client amends. This catalogue is unfinished but shows the clear, minimal use of typography and scale of images. Furthermore the use of a coloured bar in the gutter to highlight key colours when the user is clicking through the pages.

Work In Progress - .RAW


For a  couple of hours today I have been working on this series of posters for the University of Cumbria Photography Degree Show called .RAW. This does not just include posters but a catalogue, invites and some web themes which are nearly finished and coming soon. With these posters I aimed to use the exhibition logo in a more abstract way and use it as framing element to create a sense of depth but also to crop in and tell another story to the audience. I feel this interaction pulls the viewer in but also interacts with the images in a sensitive manner.

Work - Feathers Festival Pack

Portfolio Update


I spent two nights at the start of the week updating my portfolio website, this was because I felt like a refresh and wanting to show off my work in larger, clear formats.

Work In Progress - PETROCHEMA


I have been asked to produce a identity and website for an Lithuanian/Russian based importer and exporter of oil based products. Above is some of my development roughs for them. I wanted the identity to express the business but also elements of the products physical character, leading to this wave/flame shape. This is created from a simplified version of a P and C combined together. More for this project coming soon.

Work - Poster Day


Today I have been working on a couple of posters for the live music venue the Brickyard, in Carlisle for the bands such as The Cockney Rejects and The Skints. These posters are not really my preferred style of work and the Skints poster had many limitation in purposed by the tour people which made it feel like polishing a turd.
