Flyweight - Logo

A logo for my friend Ant's Mechanical Engineering coursework. They are a fake company who he has made up to brand his new project work for. He asked me to create a logo, and gave me the images to mock them up onto.

Development Work

I haven't uploaded any development work recently, just uploading the final pieces. Before the past few

 briefs, I have always designed in black and white, with red to annotate. I still use red, but I have fallen in love with designing in colour now. I have also stopped designing with boxes with a cross in to represent images, and now I quickly sketch what it is for a better idea of composition. I really liked the spread below, with the use of colour (even though it is just blue) has made my development work much more exciting and engaging.

Typeface pt.4

Finally designed both upper and lower case letters now, and I'm happy with the results. however I may change the upper case G as it feels out of place and I'm not too keen on it. What do you guys think? Alos, I'll probably call it Nicholson Sans unless I (or anyone else) comes up with a more suitable name, I just feel that naming it after myself is a little arrogant?

Secure Solutions Presentation Boards (pt3)

For the third part of designing the company brand we were asked to create two A2 boards presenting a signage system for their home office. I decided to present the boards with an infographic aesthetic to compliment the businesses ethos and professional look. After much stress over illustrator crashing on me and not rendering the infographics (see bottom two images as to why) And I'm impressed that I even managed to fit an I.T. Crowd reference into my work.

These next two images are what my screen looked like when I was designing onscreen. I filled the canavas with my designs, and the white box in the center of the image is the size of an A3 piece of paper...

I think the word overkill is suitable.

Help Japan Poster

After seeing Lucy Kelly's and Dylan Sewell's versions of the appeal to help Japan posters, and along with all of the other posters (my favorite designed by W&K) they inspired me to create my own. I wanted to convey support whilst also keeping the iconic use of the Japanese Flag.

Concrete Watermark

My friend Hugh Leoidsson has been comissioned to re-design club concrete's website and also put forward the idea for a watermark for the photos that he and other take for them. I helped hugh with the ideas, and we found that the typeface that I have been coincidentally working on works perfectly for what was needed! And I'm sure those of you who attended concrete's 7th birthday have already seen this on your photos.

I edited the typeface slightly and realised that I like this style a lot better than what it was before, so I'm remodelling the rest of the letters to fit these.

Two of my coursemates, James Howie; with his amazing new haircut, and Dylan Sewell; absolutely stoked to see James' new haircut!
