this is my box net. i cannot wait to see how this all works out and is put together. i think it looks a little plain right now as your look at it as a net but should look nice all put together and should fit and go well with the Mr Porter company.

the top design is the packaging design im going for. its simple to make and should be effective. i am also going to make a pull out window which should fit nicely into the tray to show the product, and the product is going to be a shirt and tie. 

Mr Porter packaging design

these are some images i pulled from the internet of Mr Porter. these images show you that their designs are only based in black and white and its quite plain and smart. this shows me that i need to create a packaging design that  is black and white, smart and similar to their previous designs. and also the packaging will have to work well and to sell the item.

this is my final outcome of The Beatles greatest hits album cover. i am really impressed with how it has came out. i think the illustration works nice and the amount of bright colour works well for the psychedelic look i was going for, the style i was going for was a more modern bright psychedelic look

The Beatles CD cover design

this is the image i pulled from Pintrest of a famous picture of the beatles i thought this would be perfect to change into a nice illustration design. i printed this picture out on A4 paper and traced it using a lightbox. when this was traced i then scanned it into Illustrator and live traced it. after it was traced i then moved it into Photoshop and coloured it in using the paint bucket.

From doing my own t-shirt company called Humble i have learned quite abit on Photoshop and Illustrator by using the pen tool and making my lines perfect. i think my time managedment was a little behind, but i managed to pull off a good logo and t-shirt design. from doing this it has pushed up my confidence to create more t-shirt designs and to be more professional looking at other peoples work.

this is my final outcome, i am really pleased with what i have came up with. the colors used look really good, especially the orange and purple, its really makes the gorilla stand out. i love the two bananas in the background upset hugging each other because the gorilla chose a cigarette over them, and also how all the scattered bananas faid away into the distance. the flame coming from the lighter i think works really well because this design its going to be on a white t-shirt so the flame will look like it has faided into the t-shirt. if i had more time i would of liked to add more detail into the gorilla or many of made him look like he was starring right at us.

this is my Gorilla colored in using Photoshop. i think the purple looks really effective and makes this design stand out because you never get purple gorillas. also i like how i have done the flame using yellow and orange, going from dark to light using a fading effect. this also has the background i have drawn behind the gorilla, i thought it looked to plain just to have the gorilla, so i added in bananas scattered everywhere because the gorilla is sick of bananas and wants to smoke a cigarette, this adds bait of humor to my t-shirt design.

Gorilla t-shirt design.

this is my drawn up gorilla i have scanned in, my next step is to get this into illustrator and fine up each line using the pen tool. when i have this i will have a final outline of my gorilla. i really like the flame coming out of the lighter, really makes this design stand out.

Humble logo

the top Humble is my drawn up Humble design scanned in to the computer. and the bottom logo is my logo completed, it was easy to do, i adjusted each lines on Illustrator using the pen tool and then put it back into Photoshop and added clolour and high lights. i think the high lights make my logo look more profetional.

Fudge Factory

Dudes Factory

for my next brief i am going to create my own t-shirt company logo called Humble and then create my own t-shirt. i will look at some artists to begin with to inspire me.

These are my final outcomes on my Ministry of Sound posters, i am very happy with my designs, i like the colors i have used for each poster, starting with green, blue and lastly red. i like how the speakers leak down the page giving my designs a unusual look. also how the boom box starts from the top left corner, then to the middle and then lastly to the bottom right. i think this gives my posters a more profetional look. i also like how my text has been layered out, i didn't want them to look the same on each poster so i decided to make them in different angles and places to look sharp. i love how i created my ministry of sound logo using a camera on a tripod and a projector in a dark room and taking a picture of each part of the logo while the projector was getting pushed forward each time. by doing this it has given my logo a three diminutional look. lastly my black scrupled up paper looks really effective and unusual. by doing this it has made my posters stand out and look like its actually been scrupled up. what i have learned in this brief is how to structure a poster and this has boosted up my confidence in making more posters like these. also i really enjoyed making my logo in the dark room, this has taught me how to create pictures using a very slow shutter speed in the dark room, this is called painting with light. i wish i had a little more time to do this brief because i would love to but more detail in each of my posters and more time on my text layout. but overall i am very pleased with my final outcome.

poster background

this is going to be my background for my ministry on sound posters, i simply did this by having a scrupled  up paper texture inverted it so it went to black paper and changed the contrast and brightness to get a nice black textured paper, this will work well for my poster.

Digital Skills photoshop

Last week in the digital skills lesson i started in Illustrator using the type tool to create a 'M' and adjusted the font to make it nice and bold. Then i placed my name in the letter in different angles and sizes to fill up the letter. When that was done i moved my letter into Photoshop to give the letter a nice textured background, this is where i learned allot on how to use textures. when this was done it gave the image a nice finishing touch to it. (i didnt have enough time in the lesson to fill up the hole 'M' with my name so iv unfortunately only did a little bit, but iv still learned the basicsand it looks cool)

This is a screen shot of the bands names layout for my posters, this was simple to do, i just used Indesign to do this, carefully placing each type box perfectly and making sure you can see every name so nothing is missed out.

this is my NHS logo i created, i thought it would be cool to use hands as a picture frame to represent the shutter lens. i think it has worked quite well but i think the thumbs look weird but still shows what i was trying to show. also the colours i have used work well, the pink and blue are really soft nice colors.

these are leaking speakers i have found on google images. i am going to use these as reference for my boom box speakers leaking. but what i think will look better if its leaking out of the speaker, not just having it leaking from the bottom.

through out the next couple of days i will be putting my ministry of sound posters together and tweaking them to make them perfect.

This is my edited boom box i will be using for my ministry of sound, i simply got this boox box off google images, changed the color settings to make it purple and then added a new layer on Photoshop and using the pen tool i drew blood looking liquid leaking out of the speakers. the color of the liquid will change on each 3 posters to the color of each background.

Painting with light.

These are images of painting with light from google images. this is really easy to do, you need a dark room, good quality camera with a show shutter speed of up to atleast 30 seconds and a decent light, and then you draw your image in the air.

Bright green rave lights. i love the way they expand across the the picture giving a excellent effect. the best way to get this style of image is to do painting with light (slow shutter speed)

Interesting images of Ministry of Sound on google images.
