Update III

Once again, I apologize for the lack of posts. I was on a two week break in Malaysia. Moving on, here is a quick little 'doodle' I was working on whilst stuck in the sweltering heat of Malaysia.

"Te Desidero"

I Miss You.

I was feeling slightly homesick and missing a lovely person.

"Article; Guy Fawkes"

[Imagery + Illustration]

Got a new brief for Illustration. The aim was to develop an illustration that related to an article we received.  

Next week, we have Mid-Term Interviews. Here is just a quick snap shot of SOME of the work that is to be in my folio. Crazy, no?

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"

[Close Up. II.]

"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. 


Self-Portrait [VECTOR-based]

Basic Line Work

Color Experimentation

Color/Layout Experimentation

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.

'Twitter'

'Him'

[Influenced by the 9x5 Exhibition]

(Oils and Acrylics, canvas board)

Done over the two week break.

Prefered.

Nine weeks of the course have flown by. Throughout the past nine weeks, many of us have produced several briefs. Here are a collection of a few finals that I have generated throughout this time span, that I favor. 

'Greenpeace'

[Greenpeace Advertisement]

'Faces'

[St. Kilda Extended Piece]

'BoAka'

[De Stijl Label Design]

Designs

Throughout the following weeks, many of us have been given multiple briefs at a time to accomplish.

Here is a design I completed for my Illustrations class. The aim was to develop postcard designs, which evidently portray the opening of an organization/company listed on the assignment sheet.

I chose to generate two designs orientating around a hairdresser/stylist [www.rokkebony.com]. Two extra designs were completed on the side; (one a tea emporium [T2] and the other being a Millinery Boutique.)

Excursion.

On the 25th February all of us NDS students went on an excursion into the city. The aim of the excursion was to gain stock images for our work throughout the year.


Our group got the opportunity to wander Gertrude and Brunswick Street.
I stumbled upon "panelpop" which, is amazing to say the least.


Given the fact we were assigned to take 60 pictures; through selecting several images we had taken, we are to design a pattern from them.


Here is the design I have created.
