Net experimentation
Seeing as film grain is actually made up of light-sensitive silver halide salts, Im kean to encorporate silver into my designs.
I've thought about foiling for my designs and so I decided to use a silver pen on my nets just to see how it works visually.
Seeing as the logo is already pretty minimalist I think the silver adds a nice touch. This potentially adds elegance if I apply it correctly! I'd like to look into screen printing with silver paint...

Good is...
the appreciation of a developed photograph from the preferred film
Why?
1/ Once
you've successfully developed the photographs from the chosen film you
have a far greater appreciation of the final image compared to that of a
digital one. It's really satisfying to see your image appear on the
photographic paper after you've gone through the process of using and
developing your film.
2/ Transparency films reproduce a far wider gamut than any digital display or print medium.
3/ Film produces sharper photographs with a greater resolution.
4/ It's photography at it's purest form. There's no need for computers or editing.
5/ With film being the traditional photographic method, it's important to encourage and uphold the process, when statistics show that 82% of camera owners use digital cameras.

logo development

Chosen logo from the progress crit..
I wanted to play around with the logo to see if it could be developed/improved:
playing with compositions and stroke...
although the i like the way a few of the logos developed (in particular the ones above^^^) i reckon this logo, with the thinner stroke, is most appropriate as it keeps that simplicity and sophistication.
By using the logo vector i was able to play around with designs that will be of use to me when looking at branding and packaging...

experimenting with patterns:
these have potential when thinking of packaging design
