FESTIVAL BREIF




These are some of the shots that i took in the photography studio and then worked back into them in photoshop. I like the effect that they are giving but i think that they still need some work and i may have to plan in some time to take more photographs.

FESTIVAL BRIEF





This brief is set to promote music festivals. By means of setting up a scene with 3D cut outs, the images are there to sum up what each festival is about. These are some of the first ones that i have photographed to get a feel of what they will hopefully look like. The next stage in the development of this brief is to set up each in a studio with lighting, this will hopefully give each the quality that i am after. I have booked out the photography studio for the 18th May, and by taking initial layout ideas with me i should be able to get some really good shots.
With the photographs i intend to digitally print them to produce a set of posters which will be able to be displayed.

Susie Wright




"Susie Wright aka 'Susie Q and the Owls', works across multiple disciplines, from screen-printing to typography to 3D. Her Scottish heritage has greatly influenced her as an illustrator, with landscapes, animals and plants featuring heavily in her body of work: 'I see it as a way of being closer to the landscapes in the highlands, which I experienced so much growing up'. Whilst she is inspired by the abundance of creativity she's stumbled across in London and the contrast 'between the built up environment of London life and the sparseness of buildings and people in the highlands', she refers to her drawings as a 'coping mechanism' for being so far away from home."

SERIAL CUT





Having been told about this book, Tactile-high touch visuals, and after having a good look through it, i came across the work by Serial Cut Studio. They focus mainly on Art Direction and have a team who specializes in photography, design, motion-graphics and 3D designs.
When i saw this piece of work i immediately thought that it would be a good start to the next stage in the development of my work. With the idea of 3D cutouts i am going to produce a series of scenes looking at different music festivals throughout the United Kingdom.

"Tactile shows how graphic design is moving into three-dimensional objects and products. The innovative examples documented in the book demonstrate how designers are developing and implementing their ideas spatially from the very outset of a project. Tactile proves that spatial innovation in graphic design is not limited to personal work or artistic endeavours, but is being sought out more and more often by commercial clients, for example, in store design."

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.
