Higher Education

Today I have been looking at universities and thinking about my academic future. I am hoping to go to university locally as I feel I will be more financially stable. The only universities and courses that have really caught my eye are:

        UCA Canterbury

       UCA Maidstone

       Canterbury College: H and D Graphic Design and Advertising

So far I am leaning  towards the Canterbury College H and D  course as is it will give me to years to decide what area of graphic design to focus on and I feel I will enjoy the course.

Retro Poster Project ( Year 1)

      I created these poster for my retro advertisement project. We were tasked with advertising a product by creating a retro style poster. I decided to advertise Bovril. I created two posters one in a Russian constructivism style and the other in a Roy Lichtenstein inspired pop art style. I think both posters are very effective at advertising the product and clearly resemble the style in which they are meant to represent.

My Graphic Future

I'm still not 100% sure where my future will lie within the field of Graphic design. I will certainly be going on to high education but I have know idea of what area of Graphic Design I wish to study. The most likely scenario will see my staying on at Canterbury College to there High Education course.

I have spoken to many people on the course and they say how well it is run and the professionalism of the tutors and the work.

Finished Lucozade Edge Labels for Packaging Project

I have produced my logo designs for my Lucozade sports drink. As you can see I have stuck with the theme of free running. I think the silhouette of the free runner has worked well and clearly identifies that target audience I am aiming for. I have produced four similar designs for the four different flavors. The only thing that helps distinguish the four flavors is the colour of the gradient e.g red gradient for cherry.

Within Graphic design, we have mainly been printing using CMYK and RGB, web works in a different manner. It uses colours known as Hex Codes. These unique codes give colours there colour. The picture above shows some of these Hex Codes and the colours they represent.
