Other Design Work

In my part time job, working in my church office I have opportunities to design for print.

I created an invitation for a valentines dinner coming up using some of the things I have learnt in this module on type and layout. I created my red background using paint brushes in photoshop. The tri-fold leaflet was then put together in Indesign.

A quick advert for a concert created in photoshop.

A few weeks ago I also designed and produced this 16 page magazine for the church.
It had to be prepared for print. I created the magazine in Indesign.

Poster Ideas

 

I did a few rough sketches of ideas for my final posters

Negative Space

 I love the way that these designers have combined typography and negative space to create 

interesting designs. I would like to create a poster based around this idea.

Typography used to create images

I really love these illustrations created using typography. I would love to create a poster based around this technique. I like the way that the designer has picked out key words in the first design and made them larger than the rest. I like the simple but striking colour combination on the second design and I like the dramatic posture of the girl in the third design and also the type of paper that the third design has been printed on.

Found Typography

I really like these examples of found typography from Pinterest. I like the use of everyday household objects to create words and I also like the use of natural colours to emphasise the fact that typography is everywhere. I would like to create a final poster based on this idea.

David Carson Inspired poster

I created this poster in the style of David Carson not following any particular design rules or grid systems.
I thought the outcome was quite successful and I enjoyed working on this piece.
