Ted Baker brief for YCN 2009 additional communication

These were additional Posters sent with the animation to YCN. They explain how the heat aspect would warm the potential customers who are forced to shop in the cold, and also how the giant visual of fire would attract people from all around. The humorous aspect which Ted Baker like to associate themselves is in the subtle alteration of Ted Baker into Ted Baked. Cheers Guy, if I win i'll buy you a pint.

This shows how much the visuals improved, using a real Ted Baker store in London.

Ted Baker brief for YCN 2009 (first attempt)

My idea for the Ted Baker brief was to create warmth to attract potential customers in from the cold of the Autumn/Winter season of which the brief was aimed. I can tell you now because the deadline has passed. This was the original animation trying to communicate the idea, and pretty much failing miserably.

Karben Kurjo album cover screen-print

Over easter I was asked to produced the album art for the band Karben Kurjo's new album release 'Seeds and Leeches'. The band are reletively unknown but wanted to come across as having a more personal and unique style. I opted to do screen-prints to create this effect and designed the layout according to their beliefs and personal interests. I was very happy with the results and so were they. They can be found at http://KarbenKurjo.net

Grid/fence creations

This is another of my current FMP ideas. It also involves the study and intervention of elements within the urban environment in order to draw attention to how interesting and inspirational the outside can be. This piece shows how the use of something which already exists in the urban environment can be changed to reflect an idea.

My take on Norman Wilkinsons camouflage technique

This is the first trial of my self-set FMP brief. Originally it focused on the study of the urban environment and creation of installations in order to create a better or more functional environment to exist in. Yet it has since been transformed into a series of work which examines and celebrates the urban environment with captured imagery and installations. This piece is one of the first ideas attempting to recreate camouflage techniques used in WW1 with the geometrical patterns created by Norman Wilson with his 'Razzle Dazzle" boats.

Holland and Barrett

Second year Urbis movie 2

This is the second example of the year two work I did for Urbis in Manchester. We had to create an animated end-sting using flash. As I was already familiar with flash software I decided to produce two to challenge what I knew about flash. This one focused on the use of the existing web-based imagery which Urbis uses. I thoroughly enjoyed this brief, and because of which I believe it shows.

Second year Urbis movie 1

This is the first example of the year two work I did for Urbis in Manchester. We had to create an animated end-sting using flash. This one uses the negative space in the typography. For this one I used motion tweening, as it was a requirement of the brief.

A short movie discussing the effect of consumerism in the city.
Part one, discussing its effect on people.

Crazy editing

Holland & Barrett - current layout

Had a few problems with this brief, or at least during this brief.
Anyway here is where i'm up to at the moment, this is just one of the layouts for this idea.
