GUESTED

It involves guest lists and the logo is menat to reflect the scoring off of a name on the guest list, hence the slash running through the brands name.

BREAKPOINT



The final logo constructed and deconstructed, Breakpoint Coding

Wednesday 27 July 2011

BREAKPOINT





Above is a logo i am creating for a client who is starting up his own web programming business called Breakpoint coding. There are two main inspirations, first is the client request to feature the breakpoint symbol and the assembly of something from nothing. Assembling something from nothing is what has always amazed me about programming. This design can be broken (break) into alternative variations for letter head and business cards.I wanted the design to be resourceful through its ability to be chopped and change yet retain a simple yet complex visual appearance.

LOVE TO


Above is an early example of a client requested logo.The brand is called love to and it is intended to have multiple variation for it many services, such as love to wax, love to tan etc.

JAWS



Above is the poster for the 70's classic thriller Jaws directed by Steven Spielberg. In my opinion the film is one of the greatest thrillers of all time and the poster for the film is a graphical masterpiece.

So please enjoy

MOUNTBATTEN PINK


Above is a swatch of a colour that i find strangely alluring, Mountbatten pink or plymouth pink was invented during the second world war by Louis Mountbatten. The colour was designed to camouflage ships and was also adopted by the british SAS during the desert wars with the Germans. The colour despite its appearances is excellent at night because it does not radiate light and allowed especially are desert troops evade the enemy. I just wanted to share this colour with others so please enjoy.

RGB code: 997A8D

I posted this image because i really love the font used and i wanted others to see it too.

GLADE


Saw the advert for some new rather smelly Glade product, but what i noticed was Glades new logo. The new design is so much more simple than the previous design. This new cleaner look is so much more appealing, clean design for a cleaning product.

ALPINE CYCLING




More variations on the Assalto Alpino concept. I wanted to create a flowing single design that evokes the italian mountains.

JUST JUICE


Today at work i bought some apple juice at lunch. The particular brand was Just juice, what caught my attention was the packaging and how it stated the 100% purity of the juice and i instantly found it ironic whilst observing the cluttered in your face appearance of its graphics. I feel that something like the above image would be more in line with the ethos of the brand, a kind of "less is more" vibe. I feel that packaging like the Pepsi Raw bottles are a great example, it emphasizes the raw unrefined nature of the product it carries.

FUTURA


I spotted this poster the other day for the oscar winning film The Social Network which if you havent seen you must. What really caught my attention was this beautiful fot used in the poster, its called Futura and its simplicity is a direct result of the fact that all the glyphs are made up of basic geometries such as triangles, squares and circles. I really like this font especially the precise sharpness of the letter "N" in upper case.

-MARLBORO




I quickly put these together in photoshop to show the de-evolution of the Marlboro packaging. I really like how pure the design becomes, as long as the design features the red with white chevron design it remains distinctively marlboro.

MARLBORO


I was sifting through the inter tubes and found an image of the iconic Marlboro red pack. Now im not a smoker i am a designer and it is technically an addiction of some sorts. The reason i have posted this is because i personally think that the Marlboro red packet is a design classic and although i appreciate the importance of the health warnings i do feel they are in some ways a blight on a classic piece of graphic design. In the news of late i heard that the health authorities are thinking of removing all types of graphic from cigarette packaging. There are some designers who have tried to to design new types of packaging design but i think this could be a really interesting brief for designers to undertake.

ALPINE CYCLING



I did a quick sketch for this outcome at work. I have finally had the time to create what i think is a really slick mock up. It is inspired by the hairpin turns found on the Stelvio pass, Italy. Hope you like, please leave feedback.

OSIRIS

Possible symbol/logo outcome for Osiris.

Saturday 26 February 2011

OSIRIS




I have been asked by a friend who has his own I.T business start up to look into re-designing his logo. The business is called Osiris named after the egyptian god of the underworld so an egyptian theme is a given however i must couple this with a technology theme also. Above are some early examples of where im at with my clients redesign.

1 SIMPLE IDEA



A re-design of one of my first outcomes. Although the change is subtle it really finishes the design off well. The number 1 and the exclamation now seem more as one than before.

1 SIMPLE IDEA


Another possible out come for the 1 simple idea website.

Wednesday 23 February 2011

1 SIMPLE IDEA



Another possible outcome combining the pen nib and the light bulb. I do feel that the design may be too complex?

Monday 21 February 2011

1 SIMPLE IDEA


Above is a possible design for a idea generation forum/website. The site is called 1 Simple Idea and is currently in development. The premise is a site that allows the open exchange of designs and theories which users can edit and leave feedback. The design i hope to create should be simple fun and hint at the name of the site.

Enjoy.

TYPEFACE

This is something i have been doing in my spare time at work, its nothing groundbreaking just something i enjoyed doing. These are just Time New Roman letters that have been inverted on themselves and combined with their original. The end result i think is really cool it is something that at first glance resembles what we all know as the original letter but the shapes that are created are eye candy.

Enjoy
