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.

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.

Belfast Exposed Gallery- Observation Sketches

Another Art Exhibition thats based on Belfast Exposed Gallery. Again, including a sketch of the space around the art work and i’ve sketched out the main areas that i found interesting. I’ve found that this Exhibiton was very minimal with there colour, but i really like the abstract pieces and those with great textures.

Golden Thread Gallery- Observation Sketches

Here are a few other observation sketches based on The Golden Thread Gallery. i’ve also included a sketch showing the space surrounding the area, which is a main focus on this inspiring Typograpghy piece. I’ve incorporated a range of other sketches that include different textures, shapes, colour and typographic lettering. I plan on choosing this exhibiton to work on throughout this project.

 

Mac Gallery- Observation sketches

Here are a few observation sketches based on the space surrounding the art work and the art work itself. I collected a variety of ideas including: colour, scale, shape, form and pattern, which i could then incorporate into my work.

Exhibition- Catalyst Arts Gallery

Here is another exhibition visit to the Catalyst Arts Gallery. This exhibition was based on “Ornaments Of Prospect” The contrast between the shapes and colour is very strong, I think that these would work really well as pattern ideas to incorporate in my experimental typography pieces.

 

 

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.
