Improving Grades

Now that the show is completed I can now focus on increasing my grades.Thus far I have achieved the grades Distinction, Merit, Merit. I will mainly focus on upgrading my Final Major product as the B-tec points received are doubled. My currant grade for FMP is Merit ( which is 24 points) I wish to push the grade up to a distinction level ( 36 points) so that I can achieve the maximum amount of marks for the project.

End of year show

 Now that the FMP's have been completed we have been working on our end of year show. We were given the oil panting room to display our work however before we went about mounting are work we first had to completely clean and re-paint the room as most of the walls were covered with paint.

Now the walls are painted and the floor is cleaned we can begin mounting and displaying the work. I will take pictures of the show once there up so they can be posted on my blog.

FMP Completion

I have recently finished my FMP project. I have produced an era of products each with the new ouzo logo located somewhere on the design. I have produced a number of products ranging from posters to shot glasses. I really liked the anise pod design I made when creating work in Paul Caridads style i decided to carry the design forward as I felt it could create and interesting stylish design.

FMP

I produced these design based on Paul Caridad's artwork. When I first created the designs I thought I could use them for my final logo for my bottle labels however I soon realized that they were far to feminine and would probably look better on fruit juice carton than on an alcohol label.

I really liked the anise pod vector drawing  from the designs so I thought I would carry the design forward and develop it further.   

FMP

Over the past 5 weeks I have been working on my final major project. For the project I decided to re-brand the traditional Greek drink ouzo as I had visited Greece recently and I felt i could link the drink to Greek mythology which is a subject that has always interested me . I thought it would be a good project to try and help improve my mac abilities and knowledge.

I tried to create a Greek mythology inspired design but I felt the idea would not hit my target audience of 18-25 year old, as many people of that age have know knowledge or interest in Greek mythology. I began researching into the properties of ouzo and focused on the anise ingredient as I felt that anise pod had quite a stylish modern look to it.

I researched into artists and found the artist Paul Caridad I really liked his work and produced a design similar to  his style.
