Graphic Design- Typography Book

Here is a hand-made typography book that was based on my chosen exhibition which is the Golden Thread Gallery. This book contains experimental lettering designs using lino print. On each page it either represents the main key words of the exhibition which are: The Golden Thread Gallery and Vox Hybrida. I’ve also attempted to experiment with various colours of paper to create abstract shapes and then print ontop. Personally I’ve found that creating smaller books works a lot better as i was able to gradually add more designs and ideas. I also like how these book are a great size to work with as it’s much easier, comparing to working on a larger scale.

Graphic Design- After Effects

Here I completed a workshop using Adobe After Effects. In this workshop i had experimented with a few different elements which included Scale, Position and Rotation. Firstly, i had chosen a shape and colour then added those effects onto that shape, which then created different motions and movements. As time went on i had gained confidence to then add other effects that would create a smoother and better transition. This workshop mainly focused on practising and being able to understand this software as i will be using After Effects when creating my final poster.

Graphic Design- Logo Ideas

Here i’ve created a series of ideas for the live logo competition. I’ve attempted to use a variety of medias including: lino print, marker, chalk pens and paint markers. I gathered inspioration from a few books which were (Decoding Logos, Why we design and Logo) I found that researching through books really enhanced my ideas and trying to focus on how to make them creative and meaningful at the same time. There are not many in colour as i preferred to experiment more in black and white first before experimenting with colour. So far there are only a few that stand out, as my next stage i will begin to finalise my chosen logo.

Graphic Design- Sketchbook Images

Here i’ve presented my pervious images of Cathedral Quarter into my sketchbook, these images will help influence my design ideas. My initial ideas for this project is to attempt to experiment as much as possible with colour, typography, collage and shapes, which can include shapes of buildings etc.
