Board Covers
I wanted to create A3 covers.
So I designed them to be relevant to the brief .., After printing I realised that it has completely separated all of my boards and made them look like they don't belong together. So I am going to print some simple ones uses the same typefaces and layout as my submissions forms and boards.
I must remind myself that over complicating things just looks messy.
Below is a pdf of what I printed:
Here are my new improved ones:
A lot better and much more neutral. It works well with my CD case and I love the natural feel of stock. The sizes are A5 folded so a buldog clip can group the boards.
Tomorrow I will print A6 versions to group together my print hand ins. I will also make a band to fasten around my Timeline Typosgraphe Poster.
I am very happy with my branding and know they look way more professional than my original ideas. I am trying to be more organised.

MHG additional brief
I wasn't originally going to submit this as a brief, because I didn't know how substancial it was. I realised that I worked on the concept for filming, I filmed that took a full day and help organize things. Will a little extra work I knew I could use this.
MHG have been together since 2010, Daniel Chappell is the drummer. Every time I have been to see them play they have never had any printed hand outs for the audience and only have a Facebook account that they didn't use that much.
As well as filming, we set up a twitter account and used the photography from the filming as a temporary brand. I decided to design them some business cards and small handouts. They have a important gig tomorrow at Bruddenell and it would be great for them to have information to hand out.
The hand out is 9cmx 9cm a nice back pocket size. Links to their website, twitter and Facebook with photographs and information about past releases. I think the design works well and the variety of colour makes them more valuable. Me personally I like to get handmade promotion.
The business cards use the same pastel stock. I chose these colours because their music is soundtrack music, very relaxing and tranquil. I wanted to print onto something different to show them off. I am proud of the outcomes and I hope the band like them.
Making and finals of business cards and hand-outs.

Taxidermy Website
I needed to chose web fonts for my proposed Taxidermy website. I wanted a serif and sans serif font similar to the print versions. I decided on Georgia as it is a very common font and has a similar curve as Garamond. I chose Corbel in replacement for gotham because it is a fairly new font and the closed I could find to the large circle shape counters.
I emulated the design of the publication onto the web layout.
The website would be used as a news feed and a community where audiences can voice their opinions and share their experiences of the trade subject.
I am very proud of these two pages I designed. I feel it is enough to get a idea of what the live website would look like. On the whole I have really enjoyed this brief, every part of it was interesting to me.

box-head* boards
This was going to be one of my additional briefs, but I have also created a massive Map of the whole of Leeds for them as well so I would like to submit them together when they are both fully finished. I know I will feel more satisfied when everything has a complete range. Right now I don't have enough time to make it great.
I also can't blog about this brief at all, so I'll wait until later.
Plan Uk website and video proposal
This took so much longer than I wanted it to, and so much effort. I feel since I have learnt the basics of film I see design in a different way. When I look at a problem know I feel confident enough to promise any media, video and website.
Video
This below is my initial idea for the videos. I wanted to make the audience feel a bond between the girl and themselves, pulling them in emotionally means they would be more likely to give and share the campaign with other. However I used the brand identity of Plan Uk and I feel this is wrong, the campaign should have a different style that accompanies the existing brand of the over arching charity.
I wanted to use grey as a way of focusing the audience onto just the words of the girls stories, there will be moments in the film that are blank image with just spoken type across the bottom. The filming of the girls will be direct and they will look straight into the camera lens to connect with the views.

Website
I had a idea of what I wanted the website to look like. I knew I wanted a large image to create the background, but I couldn't find a good quality image within the topic of happy poverty girls. I took this this background image from a existing website. I would like the images that would be used on the website to be a group of girls or poverty people from around the world, each website page would be a different location. The people would not be looking into the camera, but would be in the background creating a landscape with no up close detail.
The proposed website works well to create a community with the 'Because I Am A Girl Campaign' supporters. I think the brand is current, but not too girly.

Dan's Final Website
After spending ages deliberating on Dan's website I came back to it with a fresh pair of eyes. Ater looking back I realised that there was no need for the mint green colour. I wanted the strip everything back to grey, white and black.
So I changed the colours and added a image od Dan's face for the about page. the image is taken from The MHG filming. I then mocked it up on a Imac to put it into context. I will pick a couple for my final boards. I now feel I know the basics of web design and I can't wait to learn some more.

Photographing everything for my boards
I booked out Studio B last week for today from 4:30-9pm. Since having the photography induction I know I need to document my final outcomes a lot better. Every placement I have been on they have always said students websites are very impressive when they have good photography and a theme.
I rented one Digital SLR, 2 lights, 2 stands and 2 cables. I also used a large table for taking photographs on. One of the photography staff helped me set up the camera, but they left at 5pm. Every time I moves the camera I had to adjust the ISO or Apiture, Lisa had also warned me that all of her photographs turned out blurred when she put them onto her mac, because the quality of the view on the camera is bad, you cannot tell. Due to his I stared taking photographs with my iphone... and my SLR photographs are mostly blurred and my iphone photos look great. Very very glad I used my iphone, the only problem is on about 25 out of 264 images have different temperature of colour.
SLR photographs (the good ones)

Because I am a girl
This took ages to upload! so many photographs. Going to add them to my boards now and change the type and layout so it creates a brand.

Final Crit
Feeling positive today I had a lot of final products compared to some and I'm happy with my position. I am photographing all my work today, and i just need to fix one design for all of my boards instead of trying to recreate the brief in each set of boards. I have at least one thing to propose for each brief... so this work is very do-able and hopefully stress free.
I created by boards all to reflect the individual briefs, but after the crit and seeing everyone else boards it was easy to see that the individuality of the brief is lost with the design of the boards. I decided to re-design them to create a brand for myself and submission.
I hope this makes my work look more unified.
Boards ready for the crit
Because I am a Girl: Plan UK
Leeds Market
Taxidermy
Typosgraphe
These are my boards so far, ready for the final crit, I know they're not great but it was more of a case of mapping out the content and writing than making them look good. I have decided to reflect the brief ithin the boards. I thought it was a nice touch.

Leeds Market SP
Nearly finished my Leeds Market Screen-printing. Very happy with the outcomes and I think is is something to stalls and market would buy into. Just have to screen print the newsagent variation this week, then I'll have finished this brief, I forgot how much I love to screen print.
Dan's mock up booklets and drum stick pencils
Foiling tomorrow.
Stickers Printed:
The final touches to the Dan brief. I made the work notation books today, using my sowing machine, it's been ages since I've used it which reminds me that I love using it.
I also printed varying stocker sizes to use as envelope seals and fun promotion.
