Boards for my additional briefs

Illustrated type

Piece of illustrated type I have been working on for a christmas gift - I plan to develop this design and then screen print the design which I will then frame. I might experiment with using flock FL as a binder to create an interesting texture.

Warner ep cover and typeface

As well as the cover I decided to develop the type I had designed for the band name into a full typeface :

4 design variations sent to Warner

These are the final 4 variations that I have sent to Warner and the band for feedback. I am expecting to have to make some changes, but I will have to wait and see what there response is....
I am going to work on the design for the reverse once I have got approval for the front  and have the exact sizing details.

development

This morning I reviewed the work and decided that I might try a different typeface. As the design is hand drawn this will mean redrawing the middle portion so that I can add different text on top. I experimented with the fill content aware tool but it didn't work too well so I redrew this area and experimented with a new typeface I acquired off Chris which I think will work well with the aesthetic of the design. I ended up customising the type and removing elements of it which I think works really well and looks really contemporary.

Mannakings ep

Feeling altogether displeased by almost everything I have done so far, I decided to rework the only design I like. I reviewed it and decided to expand on the design - make it more visually interesting and more imaginative, rather than sterile and repetitive as I felt it was at that stage. I like the new version so far, and have experimented with a variety of different background textures rather than images which I think works better.

Initial designs

This is my starting point for the Warner ep..... I have initially used the idea of eyes as one of the tracks is called the sky of my eyes.  I have created my own hand drawn type for the design which I think works, although I am not sure that the design as a whole is working. I want to be able to send them at least 3 minimun designs so that they have a choice and are more likely to like one of them, as I understand that Warner will have to approve it and there could be alterations to be made.

Ideas for Warner EP

I have started brainstorming for my Warner live brief as the deadline is Wednesday for this.  My starting point was to look at the 5 track titles....
