Before & During First Crit

Before:

Up to now I have gathered a load of phone poster campaigns to get influences from and ideas for what I can do for my ideas.

I have also put together a few layout sheets, to show what it is I want to do throughout this brief.

Will pitch the idea out to the group and see what feedback I get and see what they have to say.

After:

To Come, 28.04.2010

Starting The New Brief

Starting the new brief,

Rewritting our own brief, we where told to select 3-5 briefs from a selection given to us,

from past briefs and competition briefs.

I chose 'Street Talk' 'Beck' 'Wrinkly Runners'

We done a one day work shop to determine what brief we want to focus on,

and re-write,

making sure it is write for us, knowing we can do something with it.

Not given us to much to do.

Existing Posters, Vodafone No.02

When looking for phone poster campaigns, I came across a load of Vodafone ones,

and there was a selection that I really like, and the style of the posters appealed to me.

Although some are in a different language,

I really like how just using an image worked, and words boxed up, and with these working when combined together.

This is the style of work I will be looking into doing for my idea.

Existing Posters, Vodafone

Vodafone;

Went through a vase where they would use animated illustrations for there campaign.

Existing Posters, Orange

Orange;

Existing Posters, o2

I thought it would be a idea to kick start this brief with looking into existing phone companies poster campaigns.

Looking at some big name companys, such as o2, Orange and Vodafone.

Seeing what they produce and see if I can get any influence or just simply see what is expected in this type of campaign.

Starting with these, o2;

First two, is a design that the iPhone is out on o2, and showing the poster in context.

OUGD205 Evaluation

Design using Image, was a good project to have,

a side project from the studio brief, like a little break from them,

doing image also majorly helped building up a portfolio, with some of pieces I am happy to put them in there.

The briefs, we where given very interesting briefs,

including Type as Image, which was my favorite out of the lost,

designing posters using a quote from a news paper article given,

the fact that I liked Type as Image out of the rest of the briefs, I chose it for my Negotiated brief,

design 10 Type as Image posters,

for the posters I decided to use stupid football headlines and quotes, from newspapers and T.V.

During the Image module I enjoyed experimenting with colour and messing about with different designs and layouts for my resolutions.

The mini group crits helped out alot during this module,

simply explaining what you have done for your resolution, and getting feedback, and then you can go away and add or take away to make it good enough for hand in.

I feel the Image module has helped me quite alot,

its made me think more about laying out the resolution, and how to present it.

I have enjoyed the Image module, its been a good few weeks,

been alot of work to do, but enjoyed the work we have been provided with,

and I feel my resolutions have been strong although the layout for the briefs where pretty weak.

But overall happy with my outcomes and good to have a load more added portfolio pieces.
