Tutorial with Joe.

The follow up to the previous tutorial with Joe has enabled me to focus my ideas on the music theme. Taking the brief for 360 Club, i will use the logo and other information about the night and hopefully do a good job in answering the brief. Joe has said that it would be a good idea to add more detail which i have agreed to, as the work at the minute is looking a bit dull. He also said to take the photos into photoshop and posterize them into two colours.

360 Brief...






In response to the 360 Club brief, these were a couple of flyer designs that i came up with. Having focussed upon the silhouettes of musicians by means of paper cut outs, i applied the idea to produce the flyer. The flyers measure 10x15 cm, and to save on production costs they are only printed on one side. I'm not entirely overjoyed with these designs and i do feel that they could be improved upon but the idea was that this was a quick turnaround to the get a design down on paper.

Paper Silhouettes- Music Brief





Simplifying the images down to just their outline, i then cut out the shapes in coloured paper and collaged them together. The idea is to then develop the images to produce a flyer to promote live music in leeds. At the minute i don't feel as though they are doing what i intend them to do. The images look too flat and there is no real dynamic edge to the imagery, and so i will have to continue to experiment with the idea, and carefully consider the final outcome.

Rob RYAN - Screen Prints




These are a couple of Rob Ryan's screen prints that i picked out. I have done some screen printing before and i intend to some again for my final major project. On the one hand you've got just one colour and then Ryan has done a three colour print to. I like the effect of the one colour and i think that the black gives it a good quality finish but i would like to maybe try out more than one colour myself. Once i have got some designs down on paper, after Easter i will take them in to the print room.

Rob RYAN





Having previously looked at the work of Paulo Lim, after the crit today i was told to look at the work of Rob Ryan. His style is quite different to that of Lim but none the less really interesting. Ryan has worked with he likes of Vogue, Paul Smith and Fenchurch and has done everything from t-shirt design to book covers.

Tutorial with Joe.

After the talk with Joe Gilmore, and having showed Joe the initial paper cut outs of people he decided it best to try and come up with a brief to focus the idea upon. The idea was to produce a quick brief to produce a flyer and/or a poster designs to promote independent music in Leeds. As my housemate studies down at the music collage i thought it best to take the influence from him and look at jazz music.
