This is a series of website designs I put together, for a Sydney horse breader. The client supplied the logo, and I formulated a website to go with the style of her logo and branding. All of these designs were created at my internship at Red Ant Media.

A Fantastic Quote.

'I Never Forget a Face, But In Your Case I'll Be Glad To Make an Exception.' Part Two

Enough said - I'm sick of writing essays explaining my work. It's what you interpret.

'I Never Forget a Face, But In Your Case I'll Be Glad To Make an Exception.'

This project provided me with the opportunity to develop a resolved proposal for an experimental design artefact. The proposal will describe how my use of graphic design can visually communicate a critical point of view on an aspect of the expectations, conventions, protocols and parameters of a selected design artefact, or an established convention concerning design.

The object I chose to market/advertise was a Marx Brothers lamp, which has been within the family for many years. The advertisement requires you (the audience) to interpret the images as you see them. The theme is nostalgia, as the proposed advertisement was designed to evoke memories from the past with the use of comedy and bold images.

Each celebrity (mainly around the earlier parts of 1920) has been illustrated on to represent each characteristic of each of the three Marx Brothers.

Welcome.
Have a snoop.
Thank you kindly.
Good.

Photographs Over Time.

Just a personal sample from my photographs over time.

Year Three. Creating My Personal Manifesto. 'Postcard Portfolio'

The Brief: A personal portfolio of your works presented in an appropriate way to your style and design.

This assignment was extremely useful as it allowed me to come to terms with the best possible way to display my work, in the most professional yet personal manner. I have a bit of an obsession with postcards - I collect them and I find inspiration from a lot of them for my assignments. Can you not tell?


So for this assignment I thought it was the most logical idea to present my portfolio in a postcard format.

Year Three. Creating My Personal Manifesto. 'The Type Factory'

The Brief: Using typography as the main concept create a series of promotional graphics; including a logo, identity strategy, and uniform theme throughout your work for the new upcoming museum - The Type Factory.

General Concept: The Type Factory would be developed within the Surry Hills area. The main concept behind the displayed designs is the experience of the Type Factory, being targeted towards the developing designer community. This design is ambiguous and engaging, using a simple colour palate and an illustrated logo. I wish to engage the onlooker and to intrigue them to look further into the meaning of the logo and the museum.

I have used a simple motif for the logo - which has been abstracted from two shorthand 'and' symbols and stretched to form this logo. In today's society it is difficult to engage an audience. Therefore throughout a series of differently designed dynamic logos the onlooker can be shown the changing face of the museum.

The ongoing pattern of the logos arranged together on the front page of the coffee table booklet - is a visual metaphor describing the evolving world of type as it is constantly changing and forming into new designs. The Type Factory is one of a kind within Australia, and I have also considered this within my design process. Using unique layouts and different images, this revolutionary factory can be up to date with the current design trends and standards.

The last two images combined together create a business card designed for the museum.

Year Two. Exhausting the Brief. 'Magazine Layout Design' - SasQuatch Vol. 1

Ah yes - another project full of Greta. She honestly is rather a glorious character for agreeing to be in 99 percent of my projects. (Lucky she isn't to bad on the eye!)

'It was that god damn Sasquatch!' (Why wouldn't you choose this name for your magazine? It just jumps out at you!)

This assignment was one of those works that just fell into place. Yes I did spend countless hours on my Mac - fiddling around and changing things, but to me these original photographs worked out so well!

The brief for this assignment was to create a magazine based on a particular community - my magazine was the fashion community. I used the opacity tool quite a bit in this assignment to create a uniform colour palette of washed out colours. The first set of images in the back and the front of SasQuatch, I used the minimalism as my main concept throughout SasQuatch. Personally I think in order to draw the attention of the onlooker's eye you must use bold images with as little text as possible. So many magazines today are packed with bold fonts and large brightly coloured images - which all end up looking the same. Using a simple font Letter Gothic Std (the love of my life) and a large image in my humble opinion is glorious!

I have created the 'Contents' page of Sasquatch using old images I found in my mother's old photo albums. Photographs from the seventies are splendid - I love their special quality and the browns and yellows! The background image is a splattered painting I found in my room from years ago.

The next section of the magazine, the article layout, were images that were compulsory for the brief that we had to include within our layout. The blurb was also compulsory to use. My 'Doodle Me' font was also used for the first article.

The last set of images is the mock-up of the original Contents page. This also includes the spine that would be used if the magazine was made. The photographs are just images that I took that I didn't include in the magazine yet- but that I enjoy.
