I saw this sign in a club when i was out. These were dotted around leading into the toilets. I thought they looked visually appealing as they were quiet big and just gave the wall that extra bit of detail. But i wonder how they read when you've had a few to drink!!

Buro Destruct
'Playing has always stood right at the top of our list of prioraties.'
Playful text in this artwork is probably what caught my eye. The way text had been overlapped with the use of capital and lower case letters looks very effective.

There were a lot of mixed reaxtions to this advert. Why use a monkey to advertise cadburys chocolate!? Cadburys sure are brave!
Illustrator
For this brief we had to create a series of A6 postcards showing what we had learnt in the first few weeks of the course. The postcards had to be purely to do with type which communicated a message.

Newspaper Brief
For this brief we all had to buy 3 newspapers on the same day and identify a story or any aspect of the newspaper which was found in all 3 paper. The papers we had to buy included the guardian, daily mirror and the daily mail.
I discovered that all 3 newspaper had articles which were related about fashion. The daily mirror stated something about Catherine Zite Jones 'big' hairstyle, in the guardians 'g2' magazine they had an article on 'why afro hairs costs so much to get cut' and in the daily mail there was an article about the seasons designer fashions being 'more expensive than ever'. So taking into consideration what each article said, they were all linked to eachother! Here are the pages from the newspapers..
After finding a story which linked we had to produce a three A3 visual statements in response to our findings.
My concept behind my findings was to play up on the face about fashion and money and state that if you wear 'one patent' object it will revamp the whole outfit as i found on the article in the daily mail.
Below are a few of my design sheets where i undertook some research which then helped me lead onto my final idea.
I looked at a book called the 'Annual Advertising 2001'
The series of posters i looked at here include a 'set of 3' which link and work together. This is the kind of effect i wanted to use in order to communicate my message. Below are a few of my selected design sheets...

Structure!
We all got given a word out of the randomiser box which consists of random words as you could probably guess from its name! My word was 'Structure'
From this word we had to produce a set of numbers from 0-9 communicating that word.
I looked at a book called New New York by Ian Luna which really inspired me. He looked at structured buildings in New York and also picked out and identified numbers which were found in the structures of the buildings.
I also looked at one of his photographs and picked out possible shapes of number which i could see in the actual structure.
After doing the research i decided to design my own typeface communicating the work 'structure.
After creating these i decided to put them in situation and incorporate them in a 'building structure'.
I also tried making numbers out of objects. I chose to use 'Jenga' blocks as i thought this would be a appropriate to my word. Jenga blocks are usually stacked up to build a tower or a possible 'structure' to play the game. Here is what my typeface looked like...
My typeface was a success, however this could have benefited from creating an actual 3D structure which is something i may consider next time when doing a brief like this.
For my final image i chose the structure of the numbers on the top of buildings as i thought this communicated 'structure' the best out of all my designs.
In my first attempt, i decided to print in black and white as i thought this would give my nice dull colours for a built structure as i saw in myy research in the 'new new york' book.
After producing this in black and white, i didn't like the look of it so i decided to do it in colour, by adding little yellow window shapes to add additional detail.
Overall i was pleased with my final piece of work. If i was to do this again i would probably experiment with have the typeface emerging from building rather than it just being sat on top! This would give it a more interesting and appealing approach to the word 'structure' and change the whole feel to the design.
