Manifesto (Animation) - Georgia Green


this is a design piece of work which a student who i live with created., i love the concept and the execution of this graphic design style work and i would love to create something with this design in mind in the future in my own time as practice. This for me was fresh and crisp design showing her skills from animation to illustration.

Ice Blue.





These are some of my favourite designs from the website, however i think that these are some simple yet effective ways to advertise what im wanting from the look of things. Even though its very simple i really like the green house design, this captures me for some reason and i think that it just adds a neat and precise look on the work which i created. My work needs to be creating simple designs such as these for first ideas and then i know ill be able to generate much stronger outcomes.

Fresh Design and Print

J.Pink Design







These are some of the designs which a company called J.Pink have created, some of these are very strong and these add to the style of which they can create, other people might like the other work on the site however i am not a great fan of the rest of it but heres the link incase you enjoy there work.

Kristen Marie


This designer has a very nice set up with the website and some nice design work is placed on there, instead of copying over loads of images i thought id just add the link so you can find it for yourself... im sure your capable.

Lip Paintings









I added these design images because i think sometimes you forget how much fun you can have with creating and things become very series, this links back to what you are wanting to achieve and design with a clean and creative design outcome. the paints are very solid colours and the textures of the lips also adds towards the final outcome.

New Concept for Doritos Packaging.





this design could work rather well cause of how they can fold up and keep the snack which is inside clean and crisp (pardon the pun) other foods could benefit from designs such as these and i think that this would be beneficial towards future companies. Innovation however like this doesnt come cheap.

Chaos Vs Order


The above poster is very simple and appears to be created using something such as Illustrator as there are a lot of vector lines, i think that this could then make a strong outlook on what im wanting to create, however i reckon my work will be a lot stronger than this as the work looks impressive but is really simple to create.





These above again are created using simple vector lines and looks rather simple to create but i think that it still has a capturing visual concept about it and i would like to think that all my work would have this same style when creating.



Image and illustration added together to create an capturing look at what im trying to achieve, this work could be done rather easily by just having the image under some tracing paper and then drawing what you want to be in its place and then photoshopping these together to get this, this way you could also change any imperfections within the images. I might try to achieve some work similar to this in future projects depending on the time limit i have on the brief.






Strong vectors with highlights of colour to draw the attention to certain parts of the images. Chaos is less legible in this occasion even though it could be more noticed within society of today, The best style of work always challenges conventions and even though i don't reckon this is the best style of work it defiantly does make you think about what you are wanting to achieve and complete within your design work. 

This is the sort of design work which makes me want to achieve better and be able to create this style of work when im older and in a proper design agency in a full time job.

Beep! Beep!








This is something which is rather different to the normal which you would see, the way that the tiny balls have been used to create something so so neat and exquisite. I would love to be able to create something of this standard. The amount of time and effort which has been placed into this would have been massive, along with the huge amount of patience proves that this designer can control and create amazing design. 

Creative Tempest Poster.


This poster looks amazing, the way that all the different sections can be placed around and the text even though not on full display is still highly legible. There are many different layers to get this style of work the concept will always stay the same and look like this. I one day hope to be able to create work visually strong as this.

Iview





This is a design which would create the new style of Imac. the way that the screen is shaped just makes it look more neater and much more crisp, this could be a large hit and i think it would make most people think about upgrading just to have the new look even if there wasn't much improvement on the software.

Red Dot Design Award Winner









This is a nice concept for what the screens in the future can do for us, the way that they are already really advanced and the technology works well within and number of ways. I think that the best thing to do next would be to carry on working with the whole idea of how they can always improve on these ideas and concepts.

Scottish Textile Academic Group


"Scottish Textile Academic Group
Fashion Show 2009


A collaboration between Derek Bowers and Brian Walker for STAG, the Scottish Textile Academic Group. 

As competition winners, both were asked to combine their initial ideas of typography (Derek Bowers) and illustration (Brian Walker) in order to design posters to promote STAG's annual Fashion Show. The duo then went on to produce VIP invitations and programs, with the latter being handed out at the event.

For the posters, both Derek and Brian screen printed the design onto a fabric called chiffon. They then stitched this onto a backing of heavy stock that displayed information about the event."





















This style of work is exquisite, the way that the print has been created using screen printing makes this a perfect design for me personally, i love type and think that there are endless possibilities which you can create using it, the way that the print has a layer over the top which then when placed down creates the full outcome and makes the front be linked with fashion by creating a butterfly out of the equipment needed for fashion.
