Mind blowing concepts

Mind blowing concepts

Feedback

Emediate feedback was gained. All was very positive. The white face was the most liked, however some changes were suggested. I am now going to pursue this idea with less lines and more of a droopy face to make it look a bit more zombiefied.

First concept (Rough)

Flyers

Yesterday I went to hand out flyers for our fundraiser at 60 million postcards. To be honest I thought it was a bit of a wasted trip. There was not even 20 flyers for 2 our us to had out. I suppose in hindsight that even if one of those people turns up and makes a purchase then it would be worth while. It just seemed a little unnecessary that's all.

Ideas for The spies

I found this picture and this is the sort of style i want to produce the spies cover in however with more detail through the use of line, detail and intencity.

Theatre Orb Ideas

The Spies

So I had a brief chat today with one of the band members of the spies who seemed pretty open to suggestion as to what he required yet also quite particular. I was given some image to work on and develop. Firstly i was adviced to go listen to their music thoroughly and get a real vibe as to what they do. This is where i was sent to.

I was also shown some of their favorite art work which came in the form of Joy Divisions unknown pleasures album, which looks something a little like this.




I was also shown this which is there previous album cover, in order to get a further feel for their style. I was told that its was all about the minimal in the sense of drawing style and colour pallet. Black and white with maybe the introduction of one colour and lineal drawings is the vibes i get from Jamie.



In terms of subject matter I was shown this drawing and told to expand upon this concept but with that Joy Division kind of style.



In the next few days I intend to do several sketches and see how I can progress this. So lets see what happens . . . .
I have to say I am looking forward to this as it will give me an opportunity to do some work that is more suited to my illustrative/fine art style.

Animal Farm further thoughts

I clarified today that my prints were meeting the requirements of the brief, with some of the main organizers today. This is a pleasing result. I received an email the other day about an open screen printing workshop tomorrow, so perhaps if we are not specifically timetabled in tomorrow i would like to attend this in order to get some more prints done for the show if possible. To give my self a piece of mind. If not I would like to do it anyway because my screen printing knowledge is something I would like to further improve upon. So we shall just have to see what happens tomorrow.

Coda poster

A while ago I started on this coda brief and here is what I sent today. I was hoping that the design would reflect the fun side of the club, however with an intensely mysterious vibe. In doing this I think that it was possible to appeal to both children and adults. I am now currently waiting for some feedback in order to see weather it was successful or not.
This is what i said in my email


Hi Phil
I have attached a design for your Coda poster. If you like it but feel there is room for improvement please do not hesitate to put in a request for any adjustments.
Any feedback you have would be greatly received.
Thanks for your time

I kept it concise and brief so lets see what happens.
From doing this brief thus far i think i have discovered that it is possible to contain large amounts of information on one page with out it being too overbearing. This was a challenge that seemed quite daunting on initial mind mapping.

Proposition

Right today I have been asked if I would do some art work for an up and coming band based in Devon named The Spies. This is a very initial request as they are still unsure as to what design requirements they want me to attend to. I am however rather excited by this prospect and am currently awaiting a briefing.
