Here is my final net design which I produced as part of my Packaging project. The design was for the Boots brand Natural Collection. I decided to design a card box for the purpose of containing a Natural Collection Eyeshadow. The official design for this brand is very clean and minimal - but also very boring. I wanted to create a design the reflected the 'natural' part to the brand but one that prevented the product from being over looked when shelved. I think I have met this brief successful and feel it is very suited to the brands female target audience. This would be through both the colour pallet used and the feminine graphics. The curved shape of the net when constructed also relates to the female target audience.  

These are patterns I created by hand then digitally edited them. I developed them, adding information graphics and tweaking layout, so that they became posters for Borough Market - as part of my Advertising project.

web


Here is the designs for a simple website i created using WIX. I found the site really easy to use and good for really personalising the web site look because it had so many design choices.  On the home page is a logo design I created to promote myself. I feel it is successful as it is very eye catching because of the repeated lines in a circular motion.

These are my favourite poster designs from my Retro Poster project. For the project I decided to produce outcomes for Rimmel London products. This was my most enjoyed project as it really allowed me to experiment with with movement and energy in shape and colour.

This poster is in a Psychedelic style.

























This poster was created in the style of Hundertwasser. I then developed it digitally adding a colour scheme which gradually progressed into the psychedelic style.


























Russian propaganda was the influence for this poster. I like how power and femininity are both portrayed in the poster as this suites the brand well. 




  
In my magazine project I found a photograph that I digitally edited. I did this by drawing over the image using a Wacom Tablet. It was my first time in using one and although it took a bit of getting used to, I enjoyed using it. I could develop the design more by adding type to give it some form of purpose.  

From my type project I found these designs...

My hand drawn book cover design which was digitally edited. We designed covers for Type related books and I chose Hand Made Type by Charlotte Rivers.






















And, an alphabet design using cupcake cases. I gave my self strict constraints with the designing of each letter which made some letters slightly obscure. I only allowed one case per letter and this could only be folded - not at all cut. 




Here are two poster designs I created during our advertising project. Within this project we had to promote Borough Market to the local community. The idea was to persuade them to shop locally at Borough instead of the supermarkets in the area. I also went on to design some apparel. I really liked this project as I could design using a really organic theme which I had not done before.
