Speaking From Experience, Initial Designs

My first step for designing the stickers was to create a simple road sign and from there experiment with changing and developing it into something that looked a bit pretty basically...

Keeping the shape, playing with two tone text, then to just liven it up with colour, simple cmyk- this giving it more appealing although quite simple method of jazzing it up a bit. But for now i think im going to keep this colour scheme as it sort of suits anything so to just get the general idea of the difference created from several bright colours, eye catching. 

Time has passed and i've played around with making these designs...

Had a little fiddle with some distortion tools on illustrator, i quite like some of the effects i managed to achieve however i need to be careful on not making them look cheesy and a bit 'amateurish' But i feel there is potential within these designs.

Again working more with these designs, being deliberate with the effects and trying to use them in a more stylistic manor than before. From there adding the line detail over the top not in alignment i feel makes the image more bold which is a something i am hoping to acquire.
