Jellybeans And Nanoquarks
Personally I hated this brief! I was given a strange journey about how these make beilve things called Nanoquarks went through a process to become Jellybeans. Basically I had to depict the journey any way I wanted. I decied to do a cooking magazine insert for Jamie Oliver’s new magaizne becuase ingredients when through a process, a chemical change and became something else, much like the Nanoquarks journey to becoming a Jellybean. I re-createdthe belly band and put a third section to the magazine on how Jamie would teach you to make Jellybeans from the finest Nanoquarks around! It does the job.
Derive – The Zoo!
For another part of the Derive brief, as a group we had to travel to somewhere we don’t usually go and map our journey. We decided to make it a fun day trip and decided to go to Twycross Zoo! And what a wicked day it was! Thanks to Jo for the lovely photo used in my post 🙂
Derive – Mapping
Here I had to create a nice graphical mapping of where I went in Lincoln during 5 days.
YCN Christmas Cards
One of the YCN briefs this year (08/09) was to make alternate Christmas cards for the Institute Of Contemporary Arts.
I produced 9 cards in 2 sets.
Set 1:
The first card uses the ICA spots logo to alternatively depict Santa’s 9 reindeer, including Rudolph, which was hand embossed.
The second is an alternate depiction of ‘Twinkle Twinkle Little Star which was hand rendered and hand embossed.
The third was a Christmas tree pictured within a 5×5 Rubix (a classic Christmas gift) which had no photo-shopping and no pealing off stickers id like to point out! (Thanks Scott!)
Set 2:
My second set were all hand stictched on blue card using different typefaces astrick’s as snowflakes.
Community
For this brief I had to look in to and document a community I would not normally be a part of.
I decided to become a part of the coffee drinkers community and find out why coffee shops are become so popular and becoming such a community in itself.
The end result was this book I created with photographs and quotes from regulars within the coffee shop community.
Case Magazine
This brief was to design two lots of double page spreads on anything we liked for one of our tutors magazines.
I came up with the idea of doing a timeline about music player inventions using a sound wave to depic when something was invented. The piece went across 4 double page spread.
My second idea was to photograph the back of toilet doors in clubs around Lincoln and having what was specifically written on the back of that door in one of the corners of the double page spread.
Tart Cards
I had a typography brief to design 3 ‘tart cards’ to advertise typefaces and letter forms. We had to do one for a typeface of our choice, one for a letter form, and one other typographical one with no restrictions.
——————————————————————————————-
No restrictions – Hand sewn outlined text in white thread on red card saying “Stroke Me.”
Typeface – Using the typeface ‘Bobo Dylan’ set in black on white card saying “Mess with my tight kerning, play around with my big counters, and stroke my long stems… Dylan).”
Letter form – Using a question mark set in the typeface ‘Harrington.” Gold embossed on to black card.
——————————————————————————————-
Basically I was quite pleased with the outcome of the cards.
The brief was actually a competition one set by the St Bride Library, which can be seen here: http://www.uktype.com/index.php?Tart-Cards
Hello!
I’ll start off by introducing myself.
I’m Emily. I’m in my 2nd year studying Graphic Design at Lincoln School of Art and Design.
Hopefully this blog will be documenting my progression in my work through second year, but expect some random ranting along the way too!
Enjoy!
