Art - Poster Inspiration

Here is a short blog post showcasing 6 different posters that I've found and that I like. I'm going to analyze them and write notes on what I like about them and potentially incorporate into my own poster design later on.

Here are the posters that I've found:

- All these posters give the feeling of being ‘clean’. Every shape seems to be placed with clear intentions. Some posters do seem to use contrast as one of their main elements. Minimalism is also present in all these posters. There seems to be a common theme of using only geometric shapes as well. Most of them use vibrant colors along with either a lighter or darker tone of that same color.

Art - Update (Logo Designing)

 For Art, I am currently trying to design some logos that could potentially fit the brief of my company. My company is one that creates apparel designs but my logo concepts so far are looking a bit plain. I could make them work; just need a bit more developing and planning. Colors are another factor that I'll need to look at.

Here are my concept logos.

Art - My Brief

 For my next task in Art, I had to go and try writing up my brief for the company that I'm planning to 'make'. This brief is just the basic groundwork needed but is still helpful as writing stuff down can somewhat help us narrow down what we would like to do. Although I'm going to post my brief; I wouldn't call it the final draft as changes are most likely to happen due to me having second thoughts on some stuff like Color Schemes and even possibly the purpose of the company.

Here's my first draft for my Brief. I do plan to work on it a bit more in the future. 

The Brief

Continuing On From That

I also had to go onto a font website and find 20 different fonts that I like. This will help me find some inspiration and clarity on what I'm exactly designing.

Art - Color Palette

 Currently, In Art, we are working towards the initial steps for making a company. Right now I am trying to find a color palette/theme for the company I'm making which I'm thinking is a design company that works with the theme of Abstract. For this, I initially wanted bright and vibrant colors but after playing with the color wheel on Adobe I might expand my options a bit more. 

Anyways here's the slideshow of every color palette on different types of Color Ranges on the Adobe Color Wheel:  

Art - Level 3 Introduction/Brainstorm

 This year for Art, I'm going to be designing something that I would like. Currently I have created a brainstorm somewhat, but I think this brainstorm is very much still in progress as I haven't exactly settled down on what I'll like to design. For now I'm just generating ideas on what I could design. I would like my design to be different from last year but I don't know what will happen in the future. 

Here's my Brainstorm.

Art - Poster and Start on Magazine Spread

In art I've been working on my poster which is focused around a sort of noodle shop. I had to change a few things since my previous theme was around a asian-inspired logo design company, but now it is a asian noodle shop. I had use same colour palette as it fits but it kind of forces me to work with a more modern approach. I also wanted it stand out from others which I found quite difficult.

Here are all my different designs for my poster. I tried to go for a somewhat minimal approach which I kind of liked but I found it really hard to develop it in a 'more is less' way. Overall I do like my final poster design which is in the very bottom right; as it conveys the message while having a logo to allow us to be identified by the viewers. I do want to work on it a bit more but I'm working on a magazine spread just to have a change of pace instead of being stuck on the same thing.

Here is my start to my magazine spread designs.

As of now the magazine spread feels a bit too bland. I want to develop it in a way that it doesn't feel too different from my poster design to keep the consistency. My poster also uses quite a lot of white space which is something I try doing here while having the necessary information you would see in a magazine spread.

Art - Portfolio Update

 Hello Everybody, In art, we have been working on our portfolios. Recently I had changed up my brief a bit, and it's quite a significant change as well. Initially, I was designing my works around a graphic type of design company, but now it's somehow a noodle shop. I did enjoy this change though as it allowed me to expand my knowledge and come up with some new designs I did enjoy.
