Update II

Just a few things I've been working on as of late. 

"a"
3D Typography
[Board, Fake Wood Lino, Copper Chain, Dried Blossum Twig, Acrylic.]
As stated above; the brief assigned was for us to develop a pieace of 3D Typography. 

' [&] In Just One Week,"
['so much can change; so much can falter.']
[Watercolor Paper, Board, Marker, Biro, Thread.]
We were to develop a visual representation of one week that passed by. We were to focus on one part of that week and represent in any manner that we wished. I chose to focus on the people and places I saw; the visual component is a 'journal', which includes illustrations and typography.
 The following are just a few close up shots of the final.

"Dear"
[Close Up. I.]


"Adam"

"Mother"
[Close Up. III.]

"Flinders Street Station"
[Close Up. IV.]

Update.

Here are just a few "W.I.P's" of a current brief I'm working on. 
The objective of the brief is to design 3 business cards for self promotional purposes.
Here is one of the designs I am currently developing.

Apologies && Overviews.

First off, I'd like to apologize for my lack of posts; [our internet provider decided it would be amusing to sever our internet connection -insert abuse here-]

Moving along; throughout the past three weeks, I have returned to NDS after a two week break. After returning to NDS for a week, I have been given multiple briefs to complete, here are just a few. 

 'Job Application'
[This brief asks us to apply for a job; imagining where we would be in three years time and presuming we have the qualifications needed for the occupation of our intended career path. We are to write up a covering letter, which is to be submitted with a folio piece.]

I am quite content with the result of my final product. Instead of being bland and 'cliched', I chose to be slightly more creative in this brief. The final product includes a 'Book Box', which I produced using an old book found at a second hand store. The 'Book Box' contains a business card and a small pamphlet, which includes a cover letter and resume; [pages are sewn together]. There is also a four paged A4 portfolio [hand sewn], which includes four designs I developed during my break. Each page is separated with a piece of transparency film.
