FMP

Our final project was the FMP.
We had to write our own brief which was a breath of fresh air as it gave us so much more freedom and independence.
My brief was to design a PR campaign for the metal core band "Sincerity"
I am to design the merchandise, create some posters, new logo, artwork and a website.
Here's some of my outcomes:

Im extremely proud of how these have come out. I defiantly feel like I have improved over this project on its own.

Packaging Project

For the packaging project, we had to find a brand that needed re vamping, I chose Old Spice, this was because I personally am not a fan of the ugly red they use as the main colour of the brand. They try and portray quite a posh image to the brand but I think their packaging looks quite tacky. My challange is to turn it around using its logo still so people still recognise it, but turn it into something that looks more up market.

Illustration project

For the illustration project I wanted to do something slightly different to the usual illustrator work. The brief was to design 3 posters using 3 different lines from a Poem or Book and use turn it into imagery. I chose to do Lord Of The Rings as its one of my favourite stories. This being quite a dark book, i decided to look into artist Dan Mumford as he has such an inspirational style to his work.

                                                               Dan Mumford's work

He uses a wacom tablet to its full potential using black and white space very well to creat such an atmospheric piece of art.
I wanted to adapt his style and way of thought and incorporate my style to create a series of artwork that suites the book.

The three lines I chose were:

- Three Rings For The Elven-Kings Under The Sky
- One For The Dark Lord on His Dark Throne
- Nine For Mortal Men Doomed To Die

I deicded to use a mixture of Wacom Tablet and Photoshop effects and techniques.

Here's my outcomes:

Really really chuffed with how these came out, i have never tried anything like this before and most defiantly will be working on this style of graphics to improve on it.
