Snake

I chose the computer game 'Snake' for a viral campaign brief, this involved research, development of a concept and finally producing a video which could have the potential to be circulated. I reproduced a game of snake using sugarcubes and the stop motion technique. I thought this gave an indie and homemade feel which tied in well with the music also.

Magazine - layouts, front cover, double page spreads

Here is my outcome from a magazine brief. The brief was to design a front cover and editorial layout for an art and design magazine, after looking in various book shops I came across 'Flux' magazine, it was ideal to use for this brief as it experiments with typography, layouts, media mixes and styles. Therefore I could be a lot more flexible in my choice of 'splash' and style.

 Our brief was to pick a topic on instructing people, I initially began with a simple topic of how to be happy, in my research I came across the iconic symbol of the smiley face. This is typically associated with drugs in particular LSD and after further research decided upon the idea of artificial happiness and how it can be enhanced temporarily by using drugs. The drug LSD connotates images of colour, repetition and busyness so I designed a simple and controlled representation of this.

Dust is Beautiful

In response to a brief given with the title 'Dust' I produced a number of outcomes that explored ideas relating.  In my research stages I found an interest in the idea that dust could be viewed as beautiful and precious in contrast to our common opinions on it, also this allowed me to progress to the realisation that dust is everywhere and surrounds us every day. I took this one step further by using typography to represent dust in two of my outcomes.  The concept of dust in and around the mouth area was thought of to both surprise and repulse the image viewers. I played around with typography size to represent the microscopic element of dust. I also created a soley typographic response designed to portray dust as pretty through delicate arrangement of individual letters made out of the word 'dust'.

Water, Oil, light

These are thumbnails of A1 sheets with differing arrangements of printed contact sheets. The contact sheets are the images I collected in the research stages of the water, oil and light brief. When looking at the sheets I recognised three main colour themes in the light images, I decided to use this element in creating different arrangements.
