coming along nicely.

So apart from the logo project, which you can see here - http://amobberleydesigns.blogspot.co.uk/2012/11/new-project.html. i'm also working on another project in which we have to design a poster with an essay added to it. This is what i've come up with so far. For the poster we had to pick to other posters, one from the past and one contemporary and then design a poster around that style or movement we chose. As you can see I went for the Bauhaus movement.

I chose the Bauhaus movement because I like the style and also how the designs are split up into a grid but also form as one at the same time.

To get my final poster I haven't just solely looked at the images I chose to write about but looked at other poster and took parts from them. I'm slowly coming up with a poster that i'm liking and a poster that also meets the outcomes of the brief set.





You can see here different posters that i've printed off and i'm cutting different elements of some the posters that I like and could influence the out come of my final poster. Once i've cut different elements out I started laying them out on A3 paper and moving the elements around until I find a position for them that will then compliment the essay that has to go in the poster and also other elements and the tittle for the poster.

Logos.

 So I was doing some more research into logos, as its out current project, and I found some really clever logos. So here they are and hope you enjoy them.

These are just a select few that I found and thought were worth sharing to you.

TWITTER!

We are now on the good social networking site Twitter. From there you can see a bit more of what I update and don't have time to write upon the blog. To find the rather lonely account at the moment search @AM_Design_ or click this lovely link here --> https://twitter.com/AM_Design_

New Project!

 So I recently started my new course at New College Durham and the first project we got was a logo project. In this project we are giving a load of names for potential businesses and what type of business it is and from that information come up with the logo and the brand identity for that business. Here is what i've come up with so far for a couple of the names.





The first two logos you see are for a catering company called Dish Catering. The idea behind the first one was I had a bowl or plate and sort of came around it that way and added in the text and the little side bit coming off it to make the design look that little bit more interesting to look at

This second idea for Dish Catering came from the food groups and the colours I would associate with those food groups so; green for fruit and vegetables, red for meets and then blue for fish.


The third logo you see is for the company name of Digital Sun which is a water sprinkler company. For this logo I researched into what sprinklers looked like and weather I could get an idea from that. After looking at different sprinklers I found that a normal garden sprinkler that anyone can by from a garden store would work well as it also looks similar to a sun. So I made the little graphic above the type look like a sprinkler and also a sun.


The last logo you see here is for the company name of Verb. I've found this to be one of the harder ones to do so far as Verb is a computer software engineers company. I found it difficult because when you think of computers and software you think of computer equipment such as monitors keyboards and mice and I wanted to stay away from the obvious. I also found out that from the software point of things you think of circuit boards which have a lot of detail in them which isn't something good for a logo as you want it to be simple and effective. But I had a brain wave a thought CLOUDS! As people are saving more things to the "cloud" such as iCloud and dropbox and so on I thought making the logo a cloud shape would represent computers and computer software, its also different as well.

Not all of these logos are complete and still need some work done to them in which i'll keep you up to date with as much as I can.

Feed back is welcome.

FINAL MAJOR PROJECT!

Sorry for taking a while to post been caught up in other things. What you shall be seeing in this post is the work that I did for my final major project at college.

For my final major project I decided to make my own little comic book. So my final outcomes would be the three characters a front cover for the comic and a double page spread containing a comic strip and an advert.

On the right you should see the three characters that I designed. My characters have a mixture of styles in them. I started with hand drawing each character and then scanning them into the computer and then on photoshop adding the colours and textures you see in each character. Coming up with each design I wanted to keep them simple and yet have there own distinct feel to them. I feel and think that I have achieved this goal as the all look different and are styled slightly different but still keeping them in the same style.
























After my characters were designed I was then ready to start making my comic book strip. I wanted my story line for the strip to be really simple and nothing to complicated to do. The storey I went with for my comic book strip was a bank robbery. This fitted in nicely with the type of characters I designed I also designed the character around this basic idea for the comic book strip.

After i'd completed my comic strip I then went to go and make an advert to go along side my comic strip. I made the advert relevant to the comic that i'd made.

Here is the front cover for my comic book. I made it have a mixture of digital and non digital media. The reason for calling my comic book the adventures of dave is because most comics with super heroes in them are all like the adventures of spiderman, superman or some other variation of man on the end of a word so I thought i'd be different and go for just a straight name instead of something man.

I hope you like the work I did for my final major project I shall post some more work i've done recently in the coming days.

New content.

Sorry for not posting any new work that i've done recently i've been very busy doing work for my final major project at college which I shall be sharing with you very shortly.
