Studio Diary - Team Logo

For my latest brief we formed teams of two, to film a postcard of manchester and had to come up with a team name and logo! This is my idea, as we decided on the name "Northern Monkeys" and I wanted to show a cheeky monkey chilling out with a street art vibe and of course the manchester red brick!

Hand drawn and then messed with in photo shop, the result!

Bob Dylan and Robin Hood Tax

I think I may go for Bob.....it has the message for the cause, he has purposefully used really general reference points so the song is both iconic and lasting!

Other ideas include;
Isley Brothers - Harvest for the World

I posted this on Facebook and got a huge variety of suggestions including Grandmaster Flash - The Message and Nine Inch Nails - The Hand that Feeds You, but definitely to wordy and not suitable for my stand up and fight in a merry way, folky vibe!

Posted it to the Robin Hood Tax page and they had a vote and are all in favour of the Bob Dylan idea, so I reckon that's my tune!

Studio Diary - A paid design job!!!!

So have just been commissoned by my local pub to create a poster for a band night. It has to be black and white and I have a few logos that need to be included but other than that I can do what I like. It is a poorly paid job, but paid all the same.....my first £20 for my work (well not 100% true but keeps the poor student designer image up)!!!! :)
I'll keep you posted with my progress but it'll be all about thirds, contrast and lines I think although may throw in a character or 2!

Studio Diary - Bits and Bobs

Just going through some of my bits and bobs and found this in my photos. It is my mood board for the "You" Brief. I started out as a mood board and it slowly became more of a picture or piece of art but I wanted to call it a mood board as I felt it really captured what the whole feel of my piece was to be like. Anyway feel free to comment or critique constructively! Although probably won't change it :)
