Love Your Bags & Accessories

I was asked to create a logo for a new company that sells bags and accessories, after looking at different designs I came up with one with the following logo:

Then also another version for black backgrounds:


The client was really happy with the logos and then decided that they wanted some invites and posters created for the partys they host when selling the handbags after editing and changing to the clients requirements the following designs were used:




I was really pleased with the work and feel i gained alot of experience through the process, I also did some other little jobs for them, photography, photo editing etc.



Hastings Council Anti-Dog Poo Campaign

When looking around on the internet I found this advertising campaign that was used by Hastings Borough Council to stop dog owners leaving there dog's mess in public places and to start cleaning after there pet.


I really like the posters, they catch your eye and make you think does it really say that on the poster, they are simple, straight to the point and effective.

Fusion Gallery Logo's

We was asked to create three logo's for Fusion Gallery using only orange, black and white and then pick your favourite and create a banner with infomation.


My favourite logo out of the three is the first one so I decided to use this for for the banner, I also like the third design but thinks it looks a little too like a hairdressers logo. I decided to try out switching the background colour to orange and using black for the Fusion to see if it looked any better:


I still prefer my original one so have decided to use that for my banner:

Intro to Digital - Illustrator Creating my Piece

Intro to Digital - Illustrator Research & Idea's


I started this Illustrator project with very little previous experience at using the programme so the first thing I had to do was research how vector art is created and the different ways it is used, I then started trying different ideas and methods.

Intro to Digital - InDesign Research


I looked at how InDesign is used in the industry for magazines, posters, leaflets etc, to try and generate some ideas of the the sort of work I will be looking to produce. 

Layout Design Research & Idea's


When I started the project I looked at different grid systems to see how they worked, I did this by tracing the grids which enabled me to creat my own system, I then researched different artists that use the great outdoors and materials they use to create their artwork. The two artists I studied were Andy Goldsworthy and Richard Long, they both gave me lots of inspiration and  idea's on what I could look at when creating my work. Finally I brainstormed my idea's and eventually came up with three possible environments I could use: my uncles joinery workshop (wood and sawdust to create the grid), using electrical cables from the workshop or local woodland.
