Graphic Design- Presentation Of Work

Here i’ve just taking a few photo’s of how i’ve presented my work for submission, which contains work from my 2 week workshop and my main workshop.

Graphic Design- Final Poster

Here is my final outcome of my A1 Poster, thats based on my chosen exhibition VOX HYBRIDA in The Golden Thread Gallery. This poster was inspired by a lino print design that i originally created in my sketchbook. This poster represents the name of the gallery but the letters are printed individually to create a scattered effect or to make them look dispersed and some of the letters are purposely printed backwards, as a particular piece in the exhibition really caught my attention and became very influential on my own work as that particular artist also experimented with letters and words chipped backwards. I’ve also incorporated different type styles as some of them are: uppercase, lowercase, block letters and some of them in a calligraphy style. I’ve also included: the name of the gallery, the name of the exhibition, the name of the artists, the date of the exhibition and also the website. Overall,  I’m very pleased with the outcome.

Graphic Design- Vinyl Project

For this project i had created a moving Vinyl using Adobe After Effects software. This Vinyl is representing all work thats currently in my sketchbook and also typography books. Personally i thought that using my lino prints would work well and it also helped experiment further with my design ideas for my final poster. This Vinyl is quite quick and sharp when the images are changing and i also included audio that consists of old radio sounds, which i think works well. There are so many different elements that i was able to include as there is an effect that really stood out to me called the difference effect, which makes the type/text in the Vinyl appear more vivid in colour and contrasts really well together. I also included type in the center of the Vinyl which i’ve called it ONLY LYNO and also inculded 05 which represents May the month that we are currently in. Overall, i’m very pleased with the outcome.

Graphic Design- Moving Poster

For this project i had created a couple of moving posters using After Effects software. These moving posters are based on my experimental lino prints from my sketchbook and typography books. Personally i found that creating the moving posters were quite challenging as all my work within my sketchbook is based on lino prints, which are considered as images. Although it was quite interesting in finding many ways to make these images move and to create a pattern on movement.

Graphic Design- Instagram Posts

Here are a few instagram posts that I’ve created using Figma. These instagram posts consist of my experimental lino prints from my sketchbook and from my typography books. These posts are like example mock-ups towards my final A1 poster, so in these posts i’ve included: the name ofthe gallery, the name of the exhibition, the names of the artists, the date the exhibition was on and their website link. I really like how there is a great balance of colour in some of these but i also really like the black and white and it looks very effective.

Graphic Design- Open Collab Project

This was a very quick project that involved bringing in a non tabloids newspaper, to then cut out any images, lettering, typfaces, shapes, numbers and symbols that looked appealing. My intension was to create a theme based on tralvelling, so i cut out images, typefaces and shapes that were associated with travelling and turned them into a collage. To create this collab project i took sections out of the collage such as: the architectural structure, the plane seat and a typeface, which was then brought into Adobe Illustrator to combine the few images with text that was relevent to the theme. Once our ideas were finalised i combined my collages alongside other students work, firstly by printing my own collage in blackand white then printing over it again using someone else’s work, which created these lovely outcomes.

Graphic Design- Sketchbook Experimentation

This sketchbook contains various amounts of first-hand images of the 4 exhibitions that i had visited which are the: The Golden Thread Gallery, The Mac Gallery, Catalyst Arts Gallery and Belfast Exposed Gallery. I then chose to mainly focus on The Golden Thread Gallery, as i found the VOX HYBRIDA exhibition very interesting. There is one piece in particular that really caught my eye which looked like words and letters backwards that were chipped out of a large piece of wood then painted ontop with a vivid pink colour and with the access paint there was a large sheet of paper that was used to print over the top.

This technique used in this piece inspired me to incorporate a printing process within my practise which is the Lino Printing technique. I intended to experiment as much as possible with my initial ideas and designs to then help generate ideas towards my final outcome. Colour is definately a main element that i like to include with in my experiments, so as you can see the process of creating these designs using a variety of coloured card, ink and acrylic. Again, with taking inspiration from this exhibition i had also included some letters to purposely become backwards and to create several repeat patterns. I personally think that theses lino prints worked really well and i also really like the contrast of each colour.

Graphic Design- Lino Print Experiment

Here is a series of experimental lino prints, using various colours of card and ink/acrylic. These prints were inspired by a graphic designer Vince Frost as he tends to include various amounts of colour within his practise and another element that inspired me was how he presented his typography piece and how he positioned his typefaces. These prints are inspired by my chosen exhibition The Golden Thread Gallery.

Graphic Design- Consent Competition

Here is another consent poster, again only using type. My attempt for this poster was to use the word consent and to make that word look like its gradually falling down. My aim was to create a very vivid background and have a very dark typface, which i think works nicely together. I feel that i could’ve added more elements or information within this poster although i think that having a more simplistic outcome sometimes can appear more effective.

Graphic Design- Consent Competition

Here I’ve created a digital A4 sized poster for a competition that was based on Consent. For this poster i intended to create something that was very similar to what im currently doing for my main project, which is experimenting with a variety of elements including typography, colour and shapes. This poster was focused on the theme of “Let’s Talk About It” So I’ve incorporated the word consent repeatedly for the background, with a NO in the center, alongside other words that represent this theme.
