Cow T-shirts redesign...

As we are nearing the end of the course I have been looking back at projects from this term that I wasn't particularly happy with. I thought that the vintage t-shirt project would be an ideal opportunity to work differently from how I normally do, however I did not take full advantage of this.

I went back to look at a modern car which is purposefully designed to imitate a vintage style, the Nissan Figaro. The colours and the retro look make this car extremely fashionable today which I felt fitted in very well with the Cow brief.

I decided to use the Figaro badge as a logo for the t-shirt set so that they have an identity which would be used on tags or promotional material.

I am really pleased that I decided to work on this brief again, I feel that these designs are a big improvement on the last and I enjoyed developing my drawing skills which I do not often have the opportunity to do.

Today...

Anyone seen the google home page today? I LOVE it! Would have been useful when working on my DCSF project ...

Packaging...

I was given this last year when I bought a new phone I was given this relatively generic looking piece of packaging. It wasn't until after that I realised how interesting it actually was. As you pull the contents out of the right side, a 'secret' part on the left side is automatically revealed:

I think that this will provide me with lots of inspiration for my new staycation project.

Journal...

After a few minor disasters and two hours in the paper store the journal is finally done! I tried my best to make a generic ring bound booklet look different and designerly, I hope I succeeded!

I decided to create a range of dividers each with a section heading on in order to make it easy to flick through the journal and find what you're looking for. These proved to be much more difficult than I had imagined...
