Founded Placement - Day #4

So on continuation with the feedback received yesterday, I needed to figure out a clearer way of categorising the items within the clothing line. Sticking to the mathematical approach I have used an algebra as a form of coding the area of the body the attire is work - so ABC / XYZ and a number to be the item number, in a layout to form the letter being squared. 

I was really happy to hear that my concept would be used as a final outcome, and my design direction would be something they would go off from. 

Founded Placement - Day #3

Continuation with 'Product' concept trying to figure out a method of incorporating the original 'tt' logo correctly. So I decided to find words with tt together within them which were either related to math or fashion to be a proposal for the product line name. 

It was difficult to find a strong enough word which worked alongside the original cotton love brand.

At the end of the day it was decided to stray away from using the tt logo again, and to stick to the name product - the definition of pi which originated from the shape of the cotton love logo.

Applied for a job. Got an interview.

So after being sent an email through uni about a Graphic design placement I decided to apply and email them back with my CV and send a link to my online portfolio, after realising they are local. I was super happy to hear back from them a few hours later to organise an Interview. I need to prepare my portfolio with the updates and amendments since the portfolio surgery.

Founded Placement - Day #2

Clothing label 'Cotton Love' to hold self led clothing line. Come up with name, branding and identity.

Concept:

The idea of categorising, I came up with the idea of mathematically dividing the clothing into the three specified sections: Top, bottom and outfit. I came up with the idea of using the mathematical pi glyph as it also means 'product 's realise it looked very much like the original 'tt' logo. So decided to use the name product and the same logo retaining a consistency between the brand and sub brand. I then went on to continue the mathematical approach using equation formats to visually section the clothing.

Founded Placement - Day #1

Live Brief - Identity for Independent Learning 

Concept:

The Founder, Ian Gilbert, when giving conferences, motivational student sessions or parents evenings promoted 8 way thinking. A octagon shaped info graphic had been creating to show the 8 categories. The shapes I've created aim to promote the thinking process and the way many of our thoughts interlink, and bounce off each other. Taking an 8th from the octagon, this shape has been cut from the letter form to represent it further, and to also fit to the octagon shape.

A different an minimal approach creating icons from the letter 'i' to create people, situations and other visual elements to go across all of their brand - such things as way finding, seminars, team work, parents evening etc.

Updated CV

PPD - New Business Card 2013

I'm really happy with the outcome of my new business cards, I feel they reflect who I am so much better. I'm not to keen on the print quality, and being someone whos work is so influenced by printing and finishing processes, that my business cards need to reflect this. I intend on getting them either letterpressed, screen printed or embossed for the End of year show.
