Julia Pott

Ahhh this girls work is amazing. She has a very lose style of illustration and she matches them against collage background, similar to my work. I like her choices of colour combinations as well, nice and bright!

Hawkins showed me this website and she said it reminded her of both of our illustration styles put together. Pott has franchised out into merchandise which has become extremely popular, producing cards, cushions and other upholstery. Maybe this is something me and Hawkins could do as a on the side collaborating in the new year.

Cd interatcive packaging

Some quick research into ideas for my CD packaging for strangeways - different ways of folding and how i could combine a poster inside.

1960's Seaside poster

John encouraged me to look at old 1950-70's seaside posters advertising holiday to look at the slogans and cheesy tag lines used. AS these were terribly British i could then maybe interpretwithin my Ted Baker to convey the patriarchy.

What i found particularly eyeacthing about the poster below was juts how simple they were but still very bold and eye catching. using block colours and large type to fill the space. Very clean yet exciting designs using white as a background.
one and use it

tally Ho

Old posters advertising seaside resorts looking at the Bristih slogans. After my last crit I was set on using Tally Ho for my slogan in the Ted baker brief - however John told me that Tally Ho is mainly used in horse racing so it would not send out the right message to my audience if i used it in that context. a change of slogan was needed.

Perfume - Story of a Murderer

Selection of the 2006 remake of the novel film posters. Each poster creates a dark, sinister element whilst still using the female form as the main focus.

PENGUIN

For my next brief, i have chosen o do the re design of the penguin book, Perfume. Here are some of the past cover designs which have been used to illustrate what the novel is about, with out giving too much or the twist of the plot away.






Each cover focuses on the fact that the story re voles around females, beauty and desire for them. This is represented by the youth and curves of the females bodies.

Martin Haake

I adore Haake quick cut and stick style of illustration. His pieces look rushed with elements within the piece being roughly positioned and cut out, leaving some white space around them allowing them to stand out against there background. His drawing style is similar to mine also, as i am not the most realistic or confident drawer.

Example of his collage work and screenpritned pieces, all smashing!

The glue society

Large sculpture by "The Glue Society" and displayed on Tamarama Beach as part of the "Bondi Sculpture by the Sea" 2006 exhibition in Sydney, Australia.

Very humorous and obviously eye catching. Playing on the theme that the weather is so hot even the the ice cream van itself is melting - not juts the ice cream.

Set designs and arrangement

This was Nous Vous final display at there degree exhibition. There work is amazing an even how it all has been arranged and presented demonstrates how brilliant they are, it is all so aesthetically pleasing.

Nous Vous & Jullan Vallee, again

Keep calm and carry on..

Looking at the orginal designs for the war poster. Keep Calm and Carry On was a motivatiobal poster produced by the government in 1939 during the beginning of the war, but never used. It was rediscovered in 2000 and has been re-issued by a number of private sector companies, and used as the decorative theme for a range of other products.

Sarah Fotheringham....

For the Ted Baker brief i wanted to produce a set which was extremely busy and colourful, something to draw attention to the display instantly when you walked past. Fotheringham has produced displays before to great success as you can see above. Her designs are busy, to some they may appear to be overcrowded however i think they are spot on and every part works well togtehr.

Sarah Fotheringham

I was interested in her work to see how her set designs were photographed and then taken into poster context. Considering her layout and positioning of text.




This just made me laugh. It is some of Fotheringhams very early work. She made a chocolate bust of her head and told her partner to eat it.

Ted baker boutique Covent garden

Limited edition Christmas shop window display for there boutique in content garden. Aimed at females, i liked the designers use of cutting out elements and layering them against one another to form the background.

Past ted baker shop windows

Above and below are past shop window fronts for Ted baker - all fairly recent. they have a very distinctive style and way of presenting there shop, as quirky, modern and up to beat with the current trends. Alot of there displays involve puns, words games playing to the season changes. I think they are all very bizarre but humerus and work very well as displays because they are different from the average shop window so they stand out.
