Body copy and how I feel about it.


This exercise was to pick 10 different bodycopy typefaces and write our name and described how it makes us feel.

Edited Posters



After listening to the comments and feedback from the critique yesterday, I corrected the things that needed changing, above is the next version of my elderly exercise poster.



Once again I took on board the comments that were made about the poster and made the changes accordingly. The changes I feel were positive and made the posters stronger.

Posters - InDesign


I tried to keep it simple, with the use of type to compliment the image, I also tried to use colours that were already in the image.

Although this poster isn't the correct size, to me it is a very powerful message portraying the fallen soldier. Maybe the colour of the type needs to be different.

This poster shows a proud young soldier, he was willing to go to war, to fight for freedom but to also fight for the new commonwealth.


I wanted to make this poster a bit more colourful, I hoped it would draw attention to the message, possibly a different display type could have been used.

Abstract Art - Playing with Textures





These pieces were done in Illustrator then taken into Photoshop, where I asked Ani to show me how to put texture into them. The original concepts came from IDN, I thought that they would be easy to create, maybe with more experience but the overall finished pieces now have that depth that they were lacking before.

Hand drawn piece for Zine



This piece was inspired by a image that I found in IDN, I liked the way the letter M seems to stand out in the foreground. I love drawing things like this by hand, I find it very soothing.

Packaging Creations

These are the three packages that we had to recreate, it would have been a lot harder if we had to do every single bit by ourselves. You just don't realise what lengths some people will go to in creating and marketing packaging. There is a great deal and thought that goes into a layout and design of each package.
