evaluation

To update the Brighton Fringe project I did A logo and few postcards designs. Client told that he wants to see more britis stuff, so I did a moodboard of what in my opinion is British. Mostly it was queen, Big Ben, Cabs and Doubledeckers. And a Union Jack. Also client wanted a logo in pop-art style.

So I begun with simple typography experiment in photoshop. I wrote a text with huge capital letters, and distorted it, so it looks more funky. I was inspired by comic art and especialy by Roy Lichtenstain work. I used bright colors to make it look poparty.

 For the Postcards I have chosen objects from my moodboard, created a doted pattern and applied it using screen filter. Then I changed logo colorscheme using union jack colors, so it al looks less funky and more british.

Photographic Essay

These are pictures of My photographic essay. The topic was "Windows", I have chosen it because I really like english architecture, and the variety of the elements it consists of. Also I like architecture itself, geometrical forms and patterns.

To complete this task I went to London for an inspirational walk. First time I took with me Canon EOS 600D, second time Nikkon D3000.

In my work we can spot several weekneses like noise, motion blur, defocus. This is mainly because photos were taken at the beggining of the year, when I was not really familiar with photography. If I would do it now, I would do it better.

Also photos had been edited in photoshop. First of all I edited the perspective, and cropped them to achieve composition I need. Then I did a color correction, to make them look more artistic, and adjusted the sharpness at several places.

Final Evaluation

The aim of the project was to create a storyboard for the new Bond film title sequence. So I begun with doing research on different Bont idents from sixties and till nowadays. I also did research on different artists, who created them. The one I liked the most was Robert  Brownjohn because of his experimental approach and stylish typography. In my final one I was inspired by his work. I used the old sixties color palette and sans-serif typography.

So after doing my research, i found that title sequences gets viewer prepared, when the film itself begins. by telling an abstract story related to a plot. Thats why i wrote my own short-story aout Bond. After that I started doing my experiments with patterns, photography and illustration. I have chosen my best pieces and created a storyboard out of them. But they were rejected. Then I started to experiment with a photography
and came out with pretty nice results. I put them all in a storyboard, edited, to make them look more clear, and printed out.

About my design - I like the way, how I achieved result. I tried to use techniquec, that could possibly be done without photoshops in early times. It was very fun creating them, and they came out quite stylish.
Areas to improve - put more emphasize on quality, or try different techniques. Also the work requiers more neat typography, because current one does not look its best.

One more final storyboard

I made it more clear and easy to look at, and removed classical gun shot.
