Time management

Something that I spend my time doing is working with the Christian Union at University. Being a designer, I tend to take on responsibility for publications such as these:

January - May 2013

I've blogged these earlier, but thought it'd be nice to see them all together.

September - December 2012

September - December 2011

SU Round-Up (December)

Merry Christmas!

Répondez s'il vous planes (2)

I blogged below this about the "RSVP" exhibition, so it seemed right that I share the things I've been creating! All follow a design palette created specifically for my exhibit.

Both these posters will appear at the exhibition. My responsive piece involves people writing things down on provided paper, folding them, and throwing them into my installation, which will involve a bin and some fishing-wire-suspended-planes. 

3-point instructions on what the exhibit expects of the audience

Instructions on how to fold your plane! step by step on the left, fold lines on the right.

Blog "banner" to advertise the event as a whole

An A6 flyer to be distributed to promote the event - details are on this side...

...and on the back, following the fold lines will result in the invite becoming a 3D plane!

The exhibition opens in March - anyone in Wolves who fancies coming? The private view is on the 7th March, and the exhibition opens on the 8th. Drop me a line if so, or keep your eye on www.visualcommunicationwolverhampton.blogspot.com!

SU Round-Up (November)

A couple of the things I've found myself doing this month at the Students' Union!

Felt this should be posted too, as I was not only involved in the design, but the event itself! 

Répondez s'il vous planes

RSVP is the title of an exhibition, put on by Graphic Communication students from the University of Wolverhampton, to be held in March. I am one of those students, and such, here is some stuff that I've been doing for it.

We can exhibit anything visual which relates to "RSVP", with the priority being on provoking a response from the viewers of the exhibition. However, this post will deal with the publicity surrounding the event. My particular version of this publicity reflects the nature of my exhibition piece... All you need to know for now is that it involves paper planes.

My poster design draws on the visuality of paper plane design - folded corners make the poster leap out off the wall toward the viewer. The blues reflect the nature of sky, which is an important aspect as it gives basis for the planes themselves.

I will post more on my actual exhibition piece at a later date.

Gently, gently

Third year hasn't lent me too many opportunities to blog. The workload is busier, and the work itself has been slightly different. For one, the first six weeks or so were spent brief writing, researching, and dissertating.

So, my first proper hands-on, design-y type brief was this one: Gentletude. Information can be found (in Spanish) here: http://www.gentletude.com/

The brief demands a typographic response to the term "gentletude" - presented in such a way that smartphone users would be able to share the image, and would be called to live a life based on kindness and attitude.

From my research, I decided to focus on the religious ideology of "the golden rule" (do to others as you would have them do to you).

Clearly these designs are not complete yet, but they offer a graphical interpretation of the quote below them.

I'll keep you posted.

SU Round-Up (October)

Not as much on this month! But here's a couple of things which I've lent a hand to:
