Truth

The Graphic design agency Truth came into college to speak to us about their experiences within the graphic design world, and also to show us some of their work. The talk was really interesting they have done some really good work for big names like Durex, Reebok, Versus Cancer and lots more. They had loads of useful tips and experiences to share with us and i learnt a fair bit. Here are some examples of their work including the poster advertising their talk to us.

1st year work

Here is some examples of my work that i did in the first year of my degree course. I can't remember the brief's word by word but i do know that we could only use type to create images and we all got given a type face to work with, mine was Scala sans.

Barcelona

I recently went to Barcelona with my degree course for five days! It was amazing a really cool place to visit apart from all the thief's and prostitutes at night! We went to see a Miro exhibition that was held at a museum, it was really good to see all his work in real and up close. We also visited some other museum's and of course the aquarium which was fun. And like good old fashion students we went out to test the local bars and club which i have to say weren't bad at all!! While we were away we had a mini brief which was to collect pictures or video clips and produce at least three short video clips which show Barcelona, i will post these up when i have finished them.

D&AD Student brief

D&AD student award competition is our most recent brief, we have had to choose one out of four briefs to develop idea's for, then after four weeks of idea's generating we get given another four competition briefs to choose one to develop. Then after we have developed two different competition briefs we will choose one to go ahead with and if it's good enough we will be entered into the competition. The first brief i have chose is to design three front covers for Faber and Faber's film range books. We are only aloud to use type and the design must be able to be applied to all the different books within the film range. The second brief i chose was to design a new look and the packaging for a range of seeds called 'Grow Your Own' at Homebase. It is a range of fruit and veg seeds for novice gardeners to encourage them to grow their own produce as it is cheaper and healthier.
