Q-Man Website

This website was created for a project I was working on last trimester. We were split into teams of around 6 people and were asked to create and market a game level for Little Big Planet 2 on the Playstation.

I took on the role as Marketing Director and Web Designer. For this I needed to design and produce a website for the game level.

Our game was based on Qantm College. I wanted this to be reflected in the layout and colours of my design. I found this project very rewarding as it greatly improved my HTML and CSS coding skills. I also taught myself to make a flash based image gallery for the game screenshots. 

I have included a snapshot of the Qantm College website below for reference, as I was basing the style of my design on this.

 

 

Dandy Dukes Invitation

I created this invitation as a part of an ongoing design project last trimester. We worked in team of two and created and marketed a product using digital design methods. 

My team's product was Dandy Dukes bow ties, a range of quirky bow ties for the modern man. A personal friend of mine was our client and we worked with her to develop a marketing strategy and promotional material that would suit the image of her brand.

The brand itself seemed to take on quite a retro feel, and I wanted this to be reflected in the design of this invitation.

Music Poster Illustration

For this brief I chose to create posters for the Black Cherry Rockabilly Festival and Josh Pyke's Lighthouse Tour. The first being a poster based on airbrushing techniques, while the later was to be a stylised design. Below is the brief.

BRIEF
You are required to create 2 styles of Illustration for 2 music posters. The visual and written content must be different in both posters.

1. Project
The client requires an illustration based on the technique of gradients (Airbrushing in Photoshop - Gradients in Illustrator). You are also expected to design the poster using illustration and typographical elements only. Do NOT use any photographic elements in the final design. Photoshop and Illustrator are the only programs that can be utilised.

2. Project
The client requires an illustration rendering based on the process of stylisation. The illustration should not look realistic. This poster is also expected to be designed using only illustration and typographical elements. Do NOT use any photographic elements in the final design. Photoshop and Illustrator are the only programs that can be utilised.

Printing Methods Brochure

The purpose of this brochure was to demonstrate our knowledge of the correct procedures associated with print design and printing. We were asked to demonstrate our knowledge in brochure form in a style of our choice. 

 

 

 

 

Fashion Palette Brochure

For this brief I was required to choose a company of my choice and design a gatefold brochure for them. I chose to design a brochure for Fashion Palette as I am passionate about fashion and I think it is a great event. Below is the brief.

BRIEF
Design a Gate-fold brochure for a client. The brochure is double-sided and will only use PANTONE colours. The client is on a tight budget and has restricted the colours to only 2 PANTONE colours.

Atlas Mining Website

This is the assessment that followed the corporate identity brief. For this brief we had to design a website layout for Atlas Mining, which needed to reflect environmental awareness.

 

Atlas Mining Corporate Identity

This brief was to develop a corporate identity for a fictional mining company called Atlas Mining. 

It included designing a logo, business card, letterhead, envelope and some form of direct mail. My direct mail piece was a 5 month calendar that would be folded into a cube. I've included the front and one month from the cube calendar as the design is the same for each month.

Typographer Magazine Layout

This was one of my first assessments completed at the start of last trimester for my typography unit. 

The brief was to write a 2000 word report on a typographer, which was then to be designed and laid out in Indesign. The design of the layout needed to reflect the style of the typographer we had chosen. 

I chose the German typographer Erik Spiekermann to complete my report on.

Photoshop Collage

The brief for this artwork was to create a collage of your choice using Photoshop. My lecturer recommended to choose something that is personal to you, so my collage is based on my relationship with my partner Scott. I used vector images and photos to collage the inside of our bodies to represent our personalities. 

Illustrator Poster

This is a poster I designed in Illustrator. The brief was to redesign some form of technology, then to create a poster using only Illustrator to advertise your new design. I redesigned my faithful sewing machine.

Cultural Magazine Layout

Here is my layout for a fictional Cultural Magazine. We had free reign over this assessment, with very few guidelines to stick too.
