Summer Project 2020

Posters in Makaton The idea behind this concept of posters is to create designs in Makaton, for those who doesn't know what Makaton is it's a form of sign language for those with hard of hearing, deaf or those who have speech and language disorders or any kind of learning difficulty where understanding verbal communication challenging.   I chose to design some poster designs in Makaton because I learnt some of the sign language in my Primary School and I learnt the Alphabet in Makaton and how to count and how to say good morning and good afternoon etc. Seeing as this pandemic is a globalised issue I did a PDF booklet on words stay home, stay safe and save lives in different languages across the world but seeing as sign language and Makaton is another language I wanted to try doing a couple of designs based on that so those who struggle with communication and have learnt sign language will understand some of the text. ...

Stay safe, Stay sane After learning that one of the biggest things said and written on Posters about COVID 19 I decided to create some experiments so this bonus feature is showing some experiments I put together using those words, to see what I can come up with- using the Adobe programmes to help me create. This serise of experiments is inspired by the works of what I saw on the Stay safe, stay sane Poster website and thought I'd create some design concepts of my own.  Stay Safe, Stay Sane This design reminds me of one of the CBBC logo with the colour scheme of this design and the type design is similar but in a different font. The idea of the germ splats is an added detail with COVID 19 being a virus.  CBBC Logo See what I mean now?! Rainbows These designs are all experiments based on the design above... I used the rainbow background colours because rainbows was one of the biggest symbols of 2020, for supporting the NHS when we were in Lockdown. Here is a zoomed in ...

Golden rules This series of posters is based on COVID 19 golden rules, the rules that we have had to abide with for the majority of 2020 and still have to currently. I designed this series just out of spontaneous experimentation... I designed these on an Adobe Programme called Adobe Spark  its a programme where it gives you templates you can use or design your own, but it gives you design ideas and concepts for designing posters, postcards etc and there was a template on there called "I will do something big!" and I used that template and put my own words in there and changed the colour scheme, I liked the typeface used on this design and I like how ive used colour theory for my experimentation process, this series I am experimenting with colour, what works well and what doesn't work as well.  I enjoyed experimenting with a new Adobe programme spontaneously because it bought me out of my comfort zone and gave me more conceptional ideas to bring into my des...

Posters with the Media For this series of posters, this is a mini series based on the political sayings on COVID 19 and the social media inspired. With a bit of a jovial twist. Anybody who is reading this, please do not be offended with anything you're about to see and don't take these the wrong way- these are supposed to be comical but also an attempt to be bit clever.  With these designs I had a look at the format of Google, Facebook and Twitter- you maybe abit confused with what I am rambling on about here- but all will become clear. Batter This piece, batter- is a Non copyrighted Micky take on Twitter- Called Batter - seeing as Covid 19 main theory for its cause is caused by Bats . I created this design, by following the format of Twitter (From what I found on Google Images- seeing as I don't have/use Twitter. I wanted to make my own twist on Twitter. By adding Pastiche- to my design processes and  to help me create the Twitter aesthetic to this design.   I ...

Covid 19 Brainstorm Posters  This design concept is one I have wanted to create for ages which is to create a typographic poster based on a big topic and in today’s terms of events this topic is of course the one and only! The wonderful wizard of COVID 19! Yes COVID 19! This design concept was actually inspired by an idea my tutor Paul help me come up with when we had the most recent zoom call where he suggested I try this idea after he looked through my dinner project and liked my work from the second pdf sample book I created which one we solely based on typography as he liked how I was experimenting with the text, with the colour, shape and font and said I could kick this up a notch and this is what I did in this series of posters. Where you will see how I have taken on feedback and try my best to respond as coherently as I possibly can. Here is my design concept and experiments, enjoy having a flick through as I have enjoyed creating this serise as it is something I have wanted...
