D&AD New Blood 2011

After a successful week of showcasing my work at this years degree show at the University of Huddersfield, it is time to dismantle my exhibit in time for D&AD New Blood, London next weekend. It looks to be a full on weekend with young designers from around the UK showcasing their best work. It is especially an exciting weekend for myself, as D&AD I have already arranged a portfolio critic session with Corridor and Sony. Exciting times!

Musette Show

Earlier on in the year the University of Huddersfield was asked by Progress Packaging to take part in a exhibition of limited cycling musettes. I was fortunate enough that my entry got chosen to be in the final five and was recently featured on Progress website. So why not have a further look...

Degree Show '11

The aim of this short two week brief was to design a visual identity for this years Communication Design degree show at the University of Huddersfield.We had to take into consideration the three major disciplines within the Communication Design course. These had to be easily and clearly identified as a way of communication to the unknown passer by. 

 Below is my own response to the brief, which I believe is clear, sophisticated and answers the brief. Further treatments were made to the brief but here are a selection of images which give you a general understanding of the outcome.

Designers for Japan

Recently the University of Huddersfield Final Year Communication Design students got asked to contribute a poster design to Designers for Japan, that would reflect positive attitude towards the Japanese Design Industry following the natural disaster on March 11th. 
 Designers for Japan (designersforjapan.com) is a collective of designers and imagemakers from around the world, offering support to the people of Japan in aid of disaster relief.
 Even though my contribution (see below) wasn't successful you can view the chosen 16 which recently featured in Mays issue of Creative Review or on Print Process website (print-process.com). Prints are available to purchase via Print Process, all proceeds will be split between the following two charities Red Cross and ShelterBox.

Turning Moments into Memories

Alexandra International Hotel and Resorts, (a fictional hotel chain) recently wished to produce a brand identity and visual style for a major new hotel which will be launched in London, England on Friday 15th July 2011. The objectives for this brief were to launch the Alexandra International brand. Create an awareness of the grand opening of the hotel, whilst also identifying the hotel chain as an established brand.
 Below is my personal outcome which would be sent out to agents of high profile clients and customers.

Royal Academy Theatre, Manchester

Here is some past work I created during second year of University. The brief was to create your own individual creative book, expressing your skills as a Graphic Designer. The digital version can be found at http://issuu.com/pabdesign/docs/journeys.
 As part of this book I set myself a self written brief, to produce a series of posters for a fictional theatre. Below are some of my final outcomes.
The images used are my own photographs.
