My twopage spread in the end of year brochure

We all had to provide information for the End Of Year brochure, where each student across the two Graphic Design groups got a two page spread of ''about me'' and a gallery of work. The first page was the information page included our thoughts about the time on the course over the two years, and our next destination as well as some contact details of our e mails and blog address which showcases even more our work. We had to have a photograph taken each of our selfs to go along with the written info. The second page was the work, we each had to choose 3 pieces of our best or favourite work from across the two years.

I chose three portrait pieces, which included my Psychedelic Coca Cola poster from the Retro project, my magazine cover from the Magazine project, and my Borough Market poster from the advertsing project.

Launch Party for the End of Year Show

Friday the 7th of June 2013 we had our private view for the launch of the end of year show, which we invited friends and family too. The show begun at Canterbury College at 5.30pm, for the Art & Design level 2 and 3 students, before moving into Canterbury for the Level 3 Art and Level 3 Graphic Design at 6.30pm. The Level 3 Photography students work was shown at the Marlow theatre at 7.30pm.

Our slot was the Level 3 Graphic Design showing at 6.30pm, and I bought along my mum, dad and brother. The shop we hired and redecorated into a gallery was packed out with people coming to view our gallery of work. There were students with set jobs, such as giving out drinks at the bar to the guests. The place was full of lively people showing off their work to their family, and people admiring the pieces we'd put up. The night turned out very well.

This is my A1 print for the show. I have chosen to use my Mexican Sugar Skull from the Ethnic Art project.

LONDON TRIP - FINAL TRIP OF THE YEAR

We had our final trip of the two years in London, for our final major project to help us with primary research. Whilst there we visited the exhibition Pick Me Up 2013 at Somerset House. It showcased lots of work from different new designers from the fields of art, graphic design, and illustration. It was all modern

Borough Market

The Advertising project, set in the second year was a live project for the client Borough Market. Our brief was to produce poster designs which promoted Borough Market, but with the audience of the locals of that area, not the tourists coming to visit it. The markets aim was to get more of the local people to come to the market to buy their weekly shops, rather than straight to the supermarkets and to appreciate the fresh foods they have locally.

I came up with the slogan "Think Local Think Borough." 

A few pages from the sketchbook from the project, showing research and mindmaps, thumbnails and idea generation building up the final designs.

I produced a series of poster designs using my slogan.

Strawberry, Carrot and Banana backgrounds.

Borough Market is great for its fruit and veg, so I decided these would make appropriate backgrounds, and as these are symbolic fruit and vegetables these really worked. The design which stands out the most to me, is the Strawberry design, and I think that the slogan works well against it and definately aims towards the right audience.

I have sent my favourite Borough Market promotional poster to the client, showing it on different forms of merchandise to give a feel of how it would look.

FMP

For my final major project I have chosen to rebrand Urban Outfitters. 

Los Diasde Los Muertos

This is my Mexican sugar skull from the Ethnic Art project. I begun with looking into Mexican Art as a whole, and exisiting Day of the Dead illustrations. From there I went on to draw up my own version of an A3 piece of layout paper, starting with pencil then going over in fine liner once finished. I then scanned in this drawing, to then colour up on the Mac. I used the programme Illustrator and I live traced the drawing, then live painted it to colour it in. It look a lot of time, as the design was very detailed but I feel it was worth it because this is one of my proudest pieces from the two years.
