Business Card:






Want some kinda image on it.. but what?? this is a better layout.. still not great :\


Think this is pretty simple and effective.. I think you can recognise that its me (from everyone else in the studio..) and what I do.. needs contact info.. 



Not a very good photograph.. but just for an idea..


Just used plain paper.. but I intend on finding better card to print on when doing it properly..
I would also like to change my card pretty soon.. this is really for the common room.. and just so I have something to give.. I want to look at a stamp with my 'logo' on it, so I just have to stamp the information on some nice card.. simples!

18/10/2011: Been working on business card again - so it can be stamped..

Still working on the back..

Pop-up Shop..

Quick designs for layout of poster..
[What else could be done for the event to promote it..?]



Quick idea: Different colours..







Maybe doesn't need the word 'up' .. just the arrow.. does it speak for itself? need to ask people and see what they're saying.. 
Need to play with the layout.. tweek here n there me thinks..

GBH live competition brief


I wanted my poster to be purely type.. so I played around with the composition of words and came up with the above poster.. However, really not happy with it.. I feel there is far too many words, and I don't think it stands out enough..
Also.. need to look at past D&AD posters.. see what kind of thing they're looking for..


Decided to use an image.. Think it will grab attention better than just words.. the idea is a birthday badge.. on a person.. I have also included the D&AD logo, which I didn't before, which looks much better than my own D&AD title..
I'm not keen on the white background.. I don't think it makes the yellow POP.. as much as black would do..
And I need to look at laying out the information better.. it looks too jumbled and too much writing in one space..



Now with the black background, I think it looks much better, I have also moved the text lower down so it's not all on the tshirt.. Just a problem with the 'north lecture:3' bit now.. Definately not good in white.. doesn't read very well on the yellow..


Added a gradient above the address.. just playing and works alright I think.. Also made the white 'north lecture 3:' black, which stands out better.. 


Just added a bit of shadow under the badge..


..And forgot to add some information.. 


Taken away the two panels and made them white.. don't think it works right.. 


Was unsure about the 'north lecture' bit.. so tried to make it look more like the tshirt design.. make it flow nicer with the D&AD and badge.. think it works better..


And I've taken away the two panels on the side, so the poster is thinner.. less space.. I dunno.. 


Changed the address to the left hand side.. not sure which I prefer.. need to ask someone their opinion...

Added extra: To promote around uni and around..
