orange and stuff

We had a colour workshop, it was nice. 
We had to collect 10 objects of a given colour, it was nice. 
My colour was orange, it is nice.
I had a range of orange objects, they were nice. 
As a group we gathered all of the orange objects, it was nice. 
we took photos, they were nice.
 








the whole thing was nice.

can i get a re-wind!

Its deadline time, so lets do my blog. Starting from week 3, project given; design a typeface which shows your partners personality, partner=Kay, aka turd.
After discussing the problem at hand we decided on 5 words that i would focus on that best reflect her personality, 
. Weird 
. Deep
. Positive 
. Special 
i went away, chose a font to base the typeface on = Chaparral pro, and started playing about with ideas. 
I chose to split the letters of the alphabet into the 4 words, therefore having 4 continuing styles of font. 
This was the end product... 

  



(i realise the whole alphabet isnt there, get over it) 
(Also this is the typeface after tracing it on illustrator)
I was quite pleased with the final designs, compared to everyone else i was the only one really to show each personality trait with a seperate design, rather than show numerous traits with one continuing style. I was happy, kay was happy. so nerhhhhhh.

extension on the ol'extend,

After the final crit a week or so ago i played around with the images, as some of the feedback i got was that the letter being shown wasn't very obvious and made the message unclear... 







any questions?

im going to confront and then extend you






the random word malarky, Extend.
i worked on 2 sets of 5 designs, one with my own drawn letters and the other with pre exisitin ones. Wanted to just post the 5 designs of my own letterforms cus i thought they were rather bloody pleasent and if you dont think they 'work' i will fight you...

hitler was a vegetarian.

Just goes to show, vegetarianism, not always a god thing.
If anyone knows what i've done there, you have good taste and i salute you! 
i dont wanna ramble all through the briefs so just uploading a few images from some of the work iv done for the various projects...
