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- 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.

Graphic Design- Sketchbook Images

These are first-hand images that are presented in my sktchbook which are based on the four Exhibitions i had visted such as the: Cataylst Arts Exhibition, The Mac Gallery, The Golden Thread Gallery and Belfast Exposed. I’ve found that having images presented in my sketchbook is beneficial especially when trying to work on ideas for this project.

Catalyst Arts Exhibition- Observation Sketches

This was another very minimal exhibition based on Catalystr Arts. This was a very spacious area which is an element that i took into consideration when it came to the observation sketches. The main elements that I found interesting was that there was no colour used at all and also the shapes, which is something that would work well within this project.

Exhibition- Belfast Exposed Gallery

This exhibition was based in the Belfast Exposed Gallery, which was called “Nothing but a Curtain” by Vera Hadzhiyska. So here I’ve taken various photos of the artist’s work and the space surrounding. What I like about this exhibition is that it’s very abstract and it’s showing a variety of media’s including: textures from fabric pieces, photography pieces, set ups and colour.

Exhibition- Golden Thread Gallery

Here is another interesting exhibition that I recently visited, called VOX HYBIRDA by artists Alice Maher, Chloe Austin and Emma Brennan which was held in the Golden Thread Galley. There was a particular piece that caught my attention, was the wall that had back to front lettering which appeared to me that wood was chipped into creating these very interesting words.
