Portfolio/Presentation

Somewhere in this mass confusion of life and kittens, I've found a little bit of time to slave over this digital portfolio. It's been sort of hard for me because I have a tendency to look back at my old work and really dislike it. However, I've decide to push myself and the following are some of the piece I've chosen so far. It's not everything yet, there is some stuff I need to re shoot or re print out (cats like to sit on degree work and crumple it, who knew.) :

Mailshot: No news is good news part 2
The first part of this brief was to do make three posters on a subject chosen from the Guardian Newspaper. I chose the train fair article as it was quite appropriate to me. However, I really disliked the final results for them but I persevered with the mail shots that where of the same subject and tried my best to keep it simple but affective. (By the way, I burned the guardian posters....)

Visualisation and Ilustration Elective Final
For my illustration elective back in February we had to pitch a movie (existing or fabricated) in anyway we saw fit. I have a guilt pleasure for classic litrature and Nicholas Nickelby is one of my favourite novels. I chose to illustrate one of my favourite scenes but I wish I had been able to do more scene. Maybe when I concour Time.

How To...
Possibly the best thing I've done to date is the "How To" breif? I'm not sure if everyone else will agree but I liked how I was able to approach this brief in several differnt ways. In the end I went for satire in book form and the people who have seen this really got a kick out of it. I now wish I had done more pages to make the book a little thicker.

Adam's Font: A typeface for Adam Townend
Adams Font. This was a difficlut brief for me to wrap my head around until it clicked with me and I simply got on with it. It's certainly more affective than the original letters that I had in mind for Adam which where : Spooky looking and very unlike Adam. After that little insight I spent the following weekend re inventing the work I had already done and shifting it a new direction.

Convince/Persuade us
Group work from the begining of the year. I wanted to include this to show how far I (and the rest of the class) have come int erms of what it is to be a designer. We all thought these where really well done (or atleast I did) and our letter was voted as the best so we must have been doing somthing good. I'm now not as over whelmed with group work, as we're all in same boat. (more or less)
