Birthday Card - Claire

My friend Claire absolutely loves felt and all things crafty and is an absolute goddess at creating amazing felt cubes (one of which she made for me for christmas, which is epiiiiic!), so for her birthday I decided to get her loads of felt, wool, some ribbon and thread! I also attempted to make a little bear, which when you compare to the felt cubes Claire makes, my stitch work is appalling, but I gave it a good shot I think :) I've also wanted to create some hand rendered and floral-esque type for a while now too, which I've managed to do so and killed two birds with one stone!

Brickyard Poster - Kid British

My poster for Kid British @ The Brickyard. And a really bad photo from my phone of one printed out on the uni walls!

Secure Solutions Stationary (pt2)

For the second part of the logo brief, we were asked to choose one company to take forward to design stationary (i.e. Business Card, Envelope, Compliments Slip and a Letterhead). I decided to take forward Secure Solutions and create a very trustworthy and professional looking company through their brand. I am very pleased with the outcome, especially with the use of the asterisks. However, the business card was stressful to put it politely to get working!

Panorama - Oxford (Carfax Tower)

Last weekend I journeyed down to Oxford to surprise my brother, and decided to take my camera to take a few photos of the sights, and here are two panoramas of the view from Carfax Tower. Unfortunately, the weather was rainy/grey, and as soon as we left the tower it brightened up, just our luck!

Experimental Typography pt.3

I decided to create a bold style typeface which could be either; a bold version of the previous experimental typeface OR it could be a completely new face. What do you think?

I've found a few alterations so far, such as flipping the b's ascender and flipping the q's decender so that they match with all of the other ascenders and decenders. The k needs to be changed, maybe removing the curves and replacing with proper legs, I forgot to add the dot on the j, and the s needs improvement too, but are there any other alterations that you can see?

Logo Designs - Identity

We had t0 pick 4 companies of a list and create a logo for each. We then had to designate 'themes' for each, such as type or image based, metaphor, geometric etc.
