Crit review...

From my crit a few things became apparent from my work:

Love Your Body:

1. Scrap the temple idea focusing around 'Your body is a temple.'

2. Focus on the 'curvalicious' poster, creating illustrative female bodies within the type and involving appropriate colour,

3. Consider where this work is going to be placed and in what context it is going to be in, it was suggested placed the poster in female changing rooms at the gym or the work could be placed on to mirrors.

Hugo Create

1. Consider type on poster

2. Get moving with creating the packaging and other promotional material that I could create for this brief to make sure it is extended to its full potential.

Bikini Kill:

1. Create other promotional material such as letter heads, business cards etc.

Business cards ...

I am wanting to re design my business cards and get some printed so I can start distributing them out to people... this website below is quite good pricing for good quality paper stock also.

Double sided is not a lot more price wise and really double sided is what I am after to display contact details and emails etc.

Live briefs...

I think it is going to be really beneficial for me working on live briefs for this lady called Lauren Moss who runs an events management company in leeds. I think it is good to be working with a client and get experience in excepting what other people like and their views and opinions, it is alos a good opportunity to get my work out there!

Sweet Bags...

I ordered these pink and white sweet bags to use as an envelope to send work to designers and agencies in which I would like to be in contact with.

Billington Cartmell

After sending my pdf of examples of my work to the art director I have managed to get a weeks placement at Billington Cartmell commencing on the 19th of April, I'm actually really excited to get down there and get stuck in and involved in the work that they do.

These are the samples that I gave:

Paper Scissor Stone Placement...

I decided to send some of my work to Paper Scissor Stone to maybe have a placement working there 5 hrs a week, although not successful I'm still glad I did it, I am going to email them and maybe ask for some feedback about the pdf of samples of work that I sent them. I packaged my CD in this unusual folded package so that it was more original and would maybe stand out over the rest!

Honey type...

Continuing from the ABC Dimensional brief that I have been working on I decided to experiment with creating my logo out of honey and I think it works really effectively seeing as my little slogan is 'taste a fresh graphic designer', I could also maybe try it with chocolate sauce.
