Inspiration for my DRUGS brief

DRUGS

Lets begin ...

Hunter Gatherer Posters, Event and Merchandise

I will propose the event to be held at Mexico Project Space as the space is the right size and the right atmosphere.

I had to change all of my illustration files again so the backgrounds where transparent, this took all morning.

All of the posters work apart from Jungle and Oceans as the background colours are too dark for the black drawings. I would love to screen print these, but I don't have enough time (I don't think) so as a bad compromise I will lighten the background colours  of Jungles and Oceans.

I will digitally print them tomorrow with James.... good luck to me.

Alternative Posters using coloured lines instead of coloured backgrounds, as seen below coloured backgrounds look best apart from Jungles and Oceans as the colours are too dark to make the black illustrations stand out.

Printed Poster Test
The full colour posters printed better than I imagined. I am very happy with these.

Final Crit

Today was the final Crit.

After feeling not too bad about it last night. I went to bed and woke up at 10:30. The crit started at 9:30. For the past two months I've had really bad eczema and now I can't sleep because of it. 

So I had no feedback for the crit, but it helped being around peoples work and seeing where everyone else is up to. A few people have told me they like my Design Context book which is nice. I now know exactly what I have to do. It is a lot but I think I will get through it all. So here is another list:

Brief 1: type posters PACKAGE

Brief 2: Print letterheads and cv. Make textile sample PACKAGE

Brief 3: Event, Posters, Tickets

Brief 4: START

Brief 5: Help Chris tomorrow mock - up a book and print the poster

Brief 6: Print Posters and Postcards

Brief 7: FINISHED

So brief 1, 2, 5, 6 and 7 and nearly finished. I will have everything finished (and printed) for Monday at the VERY VERY latest.

So that from Monday (maybe before) onwards I can start and complete Brief 4 (DRUGS) and finalise Brief 3. 

I have a photography student  photographing my final work on Thursday the 23rd. 6 days before deadline. Which gives me a lot of time to finish of my boards, and my PPD: portfolio and branding.

So much to do. But I think it is do-able.

Hannah's Website

Hannah already used tumblr as a website, but I designed her website and we found a developer who made it happen. She wanted her website to be simple and completely about her work, including both illustration and pattern together. This meant that her images needed to be full screen to maximise on impact, with minimum text information.

Her HR logo is used at the top left, on the navigation bar flush left on all pages of her website. Navigation can be by mouse or by just using the arrow keys alone. I designed a landscape website because I have seen them used for many creative freelancers and I feel the sideways scroll helps show direction. We were able to use quicksand on her website because it is a web-safe font. 

It was import for Hannah that her website would not only be used for showing her work portfolio, but as a link to Hannah's other online presence: twitter, blogger, pinterest and instergram.

Séarlait Brief

Everything in the brief: Folder, BC, Portfolio - bound VS sheet (Postcards), CV, Letterhead, sketchbooks, tools, DESK PHOTO and website

Lazer cut some folders for Séarlait ... the lazer cutter burnt my stock, and the bright white stock would not fold without buckling. Which means it looks shoddy. However the Fedrigoni brown woodstock paper looks great and would be used with her antique white business cards. A cut out shows most of her business cards: either the pattern or her full logo.

All I have to do now is print her cv and letterheads.

Ans some type posters and postcards.
