                                                                   What is Graphic Design ?

For this project we had to create a brief and follow it.

I decided to film an interview which was with one of my friends whom is a third year film student and my other friend whom is a graphic design student , and the film student was asking various questions about graphic design and wanting to know how they could help him if he wanted to advertise his film and what font to use etc , so it was an informative interview , which advertises graphics , which is what the above brief says which i made .
In the hand in i have a plastic wallet with the following
1x brief
3x questionnaires 
1x DVD - with the interview on it  

Game ♠ Play

For this project we had to work in groups and come up with a game idea then each member of the group will have to create their own version of it.

I found this project a bit nerve wrecking at first because I didn’t have an ideas to contribute but together we all came up with a few.

We decided to do a game involving questions, and we wanted to do a drinking game.

Brand New

Brand New

This project it was in two parts 

the first part was to brand yourself and make a badge and without this badge you would not be permitted to come into the studio , and i made a medium square design and stuck it to card , the design was meant to show a shopping bag with a "shh" sign on it to represent that i can be very quiet and i love shopping , and then on the right hand side there was a camera popping out of it representing my love for photography , and one the top left hand corner there was a set of pencils showing that i love to draw .

We had to also do the same thing but for another person in the class without telling them , i chose my friend Erica Bayliss and to make this i had to ask her some questions which she answered i did this Via facebook .

I then used the answers she gave me to design a badge on her , it was relatively simple , and the main focus is she loves the gym so i showed a person with =weights to represent that and then she said she loves sci-fi and i got a space planet thing to show that and a smiley face to show how happy she is , they are more like isotopes as i feel it communicates things better .

The second part of this project is to come up with an ORIGINAL idea , something that has been purly thought out by you .

with this i did struggle as everything i cam up with was already done at some point in some part of the world .

With this project i was very stuck , not really knowing what to think of so i started with what i used the most , my Mac and my Iphone , so i though i should combined the two they are both apple products so why not have a docking station connected to the mac in someway in case people loose the leads as i do many times that way its all in one , use you can work with your iPhone steady attached to the mac .

Quotes / Poster

 Neil Bohr was a danish physicist , from what i have found out he has a very colourful personality Hence why i have used the words of the quote in my poster in different colour letters , He also is very scientific , i made the letters of the quote in shape of a pie sign , which is maths but maths goes into science and he was good at that so i related that to the poster , and so the colours showed up i initially done it on a black background , but on the actual tshirt design i did it on a white background to match the white tshirt .

The second idea i did the words of the quote in a circle mainly to represent how confused i as with the actual project , going round on circles so to speak .

For this project we had to do a variety of things , make a typo poster on the quote that was given to us , and then , make a T-shirt design and then make a bill-board mock up and do a 2 paragraph piece of research on the artist and the quite etc .

Neil Bohr - The Opposite of the correct status is a false status , But the opposite of a profound truth , May well be a profound truth.

other ideas 

kiss my quick

Kiss my quick - which meant we had to make 16 calling cards of London , so i focused on the Architecture of London the building around certain areas have very unique styles . 

I went around and asked certain people what their fave areas of London were and most people said places like camden because the decoration on the buildings , and Liverpool street because of the gherkin , and north Greenwich because of the 02 . so these are the places i chose to focus my calling cards on .

Then a made like a collage in each one combined with different buildings in that one area .

these are my calling cards on 2 pieces of A3
