TYPEFACE_DEVELOPMENT

I wanted to design and create a typeface for my FMP by using a template/stencil and manipulating it further by dissecting the letterforms with lines inserting horizontally. The reason being; is to represent steroids in a connotation of injecting into the body, so in some what it's damaging the letterform aswell as it would injecting into the body. Furthermore, I've been playing around with the word, 'Deterioration', which is a word i found that represents the heavy use of steroids. By taking parts from within the letterforms, it conforms to a breakdown of the type, this is what i want to express not only through the graphic elements but the typography also.

Still needs alot of developing!

HISTORIC_BOOKS: LAYOUT&TYPE

As I'm going to create a book for my FMP, I want it to be a combination of various textures & colours throughout. Also, using interesting grid layouts but aswell breaking them. I want to create a book that's appealing simply from the colours of paper, brightness, texture and weight.

Here, is an example of a book which shows interesting type layout; simplistic yet beautiful with the use of negative space. The large tracking of the title & copy almost makes it very easy on the eye, particularly as it's a serif typeface; perhaps if it was a san-serif it would do the opposite and show a stark contrast- maybe it could work?  The texture and colour depth of the paper works with the black typography and the darker edges of the paper seem to creep your eye into the centre of the page to which the type(or image) lays.

LINE_MAGAZINE_style_guide

This brief was to create our own 'dream' magazine style guide and art work. 

These consisted of: Three covers, and two double-page spreads.

on the other hand; new beginning

These are some experimental idea's for my personal identity. Using various textures as part of the logo background, with a nice bit of type shows wonderfully. 

May use a similar theme for my under construction website.

Keeping to the particular theme; a sample of some motion art work.

[B-Hive] GREENER_BIRMINGHAM

"If you can reach for your mouth, you can reach for the bin". Using this strap line, I created a poster campaign on the basis of Recycling in Birmingham, which was intended for a brief given by B-Hive.       Using the wording of the strap line, I applied semiotics which correlate with the message shown. Implementing a recognizable symbol; the 'Litter logo', I've manipulated the original and shown the person littering into a mouth. I wanted to communicate in a simple,

step-by-step format using semiotics, which would communicate with the audience quickly. I'm thinking about changing the back colour?   It might be too clean and slick for certain people?
