OUGD402 Brief 2 Interim Crit Presentation

I feel my presentation went pretty well, I tried to explain my branding

best as I could although nerves struck, the feedback I received was 

constructive such as changing my business cards to light grey on the front

because of practicallity the business cards would get dirty very quick 

with stark white card. Another thing someone mentioned was my website

I should try making an animated gif to represent my personality 

(of my logo) I intend to experiment furher with this before the

final deadline. I also intend to use my presentation grid for the 

final presentation. 

OUGD402 Brief 1 - Alexander McQueen

http://www.creativereview.co.uk/cr-blog/2015/march/alexander-mcqueen-savage-beauty

I noticed this exhibition while reading the metro on the way to
uni and it intrigued me I'd love to go to the V&A and look at
McQueen's iconic and stylistic work. Although not graphic
design related I have an appreciation for fashion I don't feel it is
just about the clothes i'd argue it is a an art piece its self and
love looking at exhibits to help influence my current practice.

"A magnificent new show at the V&A exploring the life's work 

of legendary British fashion design Alexander McQueen is a moving, 

immersive experience that will leave you breathless.

The widely anticipated Savage Beauty exhibition builds on the success

 of the smaller Metropolitan Museum of Art show in 2011. Claire Wilcox,

 senior curator of fashion at the V&A, worked alongside the Met's Andrew 

Bolton as consultant curator to produce a show as rich as the work itself, 

exploring the wealth of references and materials of the collections, with 

the aim of reflecting the imagination that McQueen poured into his work, 

and inspire new generations with the thought that creativity and fashion 

needn't be limited by function."

OUGD402 - Brief 1 Sign On

"Shoreditch’s The Book Club café and bar is celebrating the

art of signpainting as part of the display Business as Usual. 

There’s recently been a renaissance in the popularity of hand 

lettering and signpainting and this exhibition features some 

of the foremost practitioners at the vanguard of revitalising 

the craft. Artists involved include the likes of Ash Bishop, 

Archie Proudfoot, Fly of Fly Signs and Jack Hollands."

I have to say I think my guilty pleasure is hand painted signs, 

given the oppurtunity i'd like to see these up close and personal.

I saw this post on Grafik Magazines website I was drawn in

straight away!

OUGD402 Brief 2 - Presentation grid

This is how I intend to have my presentation grid, I have just filled it with Lorem 

Impossum for the time being but I would like to fill these in similarly to design

boards. 

OUGD402 Brief 2 - Logo application

I did a generic mock up of how my logo could be applied
to stationary etc.. my next step is to create a presentation grid
I want this to be really clear and simple so I can use this as a
template for all the things I intend to present today and in the future.

OUGD402 Brief 1 The Tetley - Book Fair

Tetley Gallery - Book Fair

Today I visited the Tetley gallery in Leeds to get involved with
the book fair, It was really interesting to see the binds and prints.
I was really impressed with the precision print stall it was knowledgable
experience to see the variation of printing available to me i also learnt
a bit about techniques and stop this hopefully will influence my
design principles.

OUGD402 Brief 2 - Website design

To continue on with the self branding I have created a free website
on weebly, in the future I plan to pay for the domain.
