D&AD rain brief

Using the quote "The condensed moisture of the atmosphere falling visibly in separate drops" I wanted to experiment with patterns using a minimal approach. The last image was the design that I ended up submitting.

All in all I was reasonably happy with the designs, however, I'll probably re-visit them as I feel I could've taken the brief further.

architecture

 After having a look through some paper tutorials online I thought I'd try cutting/folding paper into potential architectural forms for the exhibition space/

<<looking at perspective to help create a better sense of scale.

dimensions

Final designs for the book fair-

If i have time i'd like to screen print as I feel it would compliment the designs more so then digital aswell as creating a more vibrant colour combination.

dimensions

Experimenting with the illusion of two-dimensional form:

Using the actions button I repeated 'copy, paste, move, rotate'. The shape that was created works well with the concept as it almost gives the depth of a bird in flight. I've been playing around with backgrounds etc & am considering creating double-sided posters for the fair...

feedback

In this session we had our first crit where we shared our initial ideas and got feedback from the group.

2D>3D>2D

I bought these cooloured feathers & thought a good way to display 'movement' with them is to simply drop them.

Using photography the images are then brought back to a 2-dimensional form:

Open publication - Free publishing - More feathers

flexagon

I wanted to experiment with interactive design for the fedrigoni stock. This flexagon continuously folds outwards which could be really interesting if we encorporated type. It could potentially fit into the exhibition as a giant piece of moving origami?

book fair

Preliminary designs for the shape & perspective books..

I've been playing around with pretty simple shapes looking into perspective

<< I think the pattern works quite nicely so I may expand with this area...

abstract shapes

Today we were experimenting with stock that could used as an interactive piece of design. Glueing together folded squares resulted in these abstract shapes which we found really interesting. These shapes inspired me to look at scale as they're quite sculptural and could be fitted into the exhibition.

FEDRIGONI

After analysing the briefs we both settled on the Fedrigoni brief...

collaboration

Today we promoted ourselves in order to find our suited partner for the collaboration brief. We produced a couple of posters with "I am" and "I am looking for". I decided to keep my design pretty simple but wanted to be playful at the same time & produced these "me" & "you" designs.

After having a look around Niall & I decided we would work well together as designers.

type as image

Exploring type | as image

Using the quote "struggle to visualise" I wanted to look at legibility using perspective. I wanted to play around with dimensions meaning that you can read the type with a two-point perspective.
