My Designs
Business Flyer | Postcard | Album Cover | Logo | Class AssignmentsBusiness Flyer
Recently I have started taking yoga classes and thought that a flyer designed towards a hobby I’m interested in would be suitable for part one of the semester one project. The first aspect to my design would be the serenity of it. The sepia tone picture and the overall black and white design of the flyer is something I thought was soothing and went with the aspect of yoga. After learning in class about how off centered pictures sometimes look better than perfectly centered ones, I decided to place the picture of the yoga student on the beach to the left slightly and although I desperately want to center it I feel as though it gives the flyer a more artistic feel. I used the step and repeat function to create a border separating texts and also to add a color to the flyer since all black and white would be boring. The different fonts I chose had to do with an easily read font (the one used for information) and a font that seems structured for the website and activity announcement.
Post Card
I chose to sponsor Breast Cancer Awareness in my postcard advertisement, because my company was Yoga and typically woman do yoga so I felt as though it would hit close to home. In my design I stck to a color palate of pinks, greys, and black; while utilizing bold and uppercase words. My design is farely simple because for me a postcard shouldnt be littered with tons of words or pictures, just a short snippet of what you truly want to represent. My background is a pink flower with teh breast cancer awareness ribbon. Next I played with kerning and tracking in order to create a bold title at the top of the postcard: "Breast Cancer Awareness Campaign". The quote underneath the title I found online and fell in love with. I loved how there wre words in bold that made a sentence by themseleves as well as how teh entire quote was a sentence; of course the "R" is a pink ribbon to represent breast cancer awareness.
Album Cover
My album cover represents a fictional artist. The front cover is entirely covered with a picture of the artist and two texts. I seperated these texts into two different boxes so i could choose how closely they were in relation to eachother. Also the artists name is in a cursive and larger than the album title since she is the most important part of the cover. The back of the cover is a list of the songs this fictional artist sings. One of the songs is a different color because it is the song that the album is named after. The background of the cover is a window, so when the cd is open it looks as though the artist is looking out of the window.
Logo
I decided to choose the Sunhead Solar Powers because it operates in South Carolina and I'm from South Carolina. The logo design I attempted was one simplistic design of the sun. Sun being in the title of the name I figured this was an appropriate choice. I used all vectors for this logo while practicing the anchor point tool for the rays attached to the sun. I figured the segments coming out of the sun at the top of the logo were reminicent of energy expelling from the sun; this is an energy company. My color scheme is fairly childish yet I find it oddly comforting and I feel as though I would like an energy company that has pizazz seeing as though solar power is fairly new and geared towards younger audiences. The font is a simple cursive.
