a little update...

Its been a busy few weeks finishing journal and cracking on with my current projects. Here's a few snaps of my work so far...

My major project this term has been an experimental brief working with typography and language so I have a number of final outcomes as a result of my experimentation.

- from hello to goodbye -

An all typography reversible concertina book showing the link in words from hello to goodbye. Open the book one way to see hello which then meets with goodbye in the centre and flips the direction of the words and colour of the type.

- York.sha -

my finished yorkshire poster - re-printed

- Self promotion -

I've designed and had my business cards printed - I wanted them to be bright and eye-catching but quite a simple design. I created a logo for myself based around an 'i' and hopefully these promote me as a versatile graphic designer as I purposely designed the cards to not be specific to any one design discipline.

There are 3 different cards all using the same design but with a variation of 3 bright colours. The reverse uses a neutral colour so as not to compete.

- Mapping words -

Investigating the links between words - showing how we can take parts of one word to make another, adding or removing individual letters to create new words or make variations of others. Using the cut-out letters to represent how we make new words and how words meaning and pronunciation can change over time and with new generations.

I've blogged about this piece before but have been working on it more over the past week or so. I have nowre-photographed the piece adding more letters and changing the layout - any comments are welcome!

As a further addition to the brief I am now working on the final part - looking at typography with conversations and how people naturally speak. I am currently working on this to be designed as a newspaper style layout and will upload the finished spreads soon!
