Manchester Unit- Vector Images



These four images display vector imagery through Adobe Illustrator to which I created these on, I choose one of my original photographs I took whilst on my trip to Manchester to which displays part of the Lowry Outlet and a classic black cab. Using the pen tool I outlined the structure of both the building and taxi and developed this through the addition of colour, printing onto different papers, layering images onto one another and altering the opacity levels on some.

Manchester Unit- Photograph Edits



These three edits were originally photographs that I took on our college trip to Manchester which displays Media City and Afflecks Palace to which are iconic to the city. I have edited this photographs using Photoshop through the image adjustment of brightness and contrast, hue/ saturation and using the magic wand tool to detect certain parts, layering them on the image itself and changing opacity levels. I feel overall these have produced a creative appearance to identity itself with Manchester city to relate to its urban, busy and cultural life style.

Manchester Unit- Book Pages







For Manchester Unit, here displays six compositions that were then later used to create a hard back concertina book to represent the North West area. With the addition of typography and imagery that is presented within each of the separate pages as well as the hand rendered and digital features that demonstrate themselves with in all represent Manchester suitably and clearly in one way or another.

Obscure and Covert Unit- Journal Experiment Pages

Here displays two pages from my sketchbook to which showcases six different experiments that I underwent to test and trial with for my final journals.Each of the experiments are placed against research that I found inspiring and suitable to my type of work. Many methods, materials, processes were pursed to reach the final conclusions for my exam journals that I was later to create.

Obscure and Covert Unit- Journal Pages


Here displays just three pages within one of my journals that I produced  for my exam, within these pages are display typography of proverbs, quotes and sayings that provide suitable covert and obscure messages and connotations. The imagery being photographs I have taken of obsolete woodland areas and old fashioned photography in a style of postcard to which provide similar meanings of the exam unit. Within the books I used a range of materials such as fabrics, ribbons, buttons and different types of textured papers. 

Obscure and Covert Unit- Journals





Here displays four photographs that I have taken of the two books I created and developed for Obscure and Covert exam unit. I choose to create two journals as I believe the connotations of obscure and covert fit will with the aspect of journals as these hold peoples private secrets and stories. I choose to create these hand rendered to display versatility and let my love of crafts flourish. 

Design Museum Experiment Logo Designs



In order to create new branding for a pop-up exhibition for the Design Museum, I first chose the title ‘Vision’ as this provides positive, inspirational connotations. I then underwent the development and experimentation of my logo design using both Adobe Illustrator and Photoshop and these illustrations displays my experiments as I have tested to print onto different papers including graph paper, sugar paper, and isometric paper.
