Bereton Posters

Here are two of my Bereton Poster designs that were chosen to be put up in the bereton restaurant in the college. I designed for mine, a cork screw and knife, fork and plate created out of words.

Xbox 360 Poster

Here I have done a Xbox 360 poster inspired by Shepard Fairey. For this poster, I decided to do my hand holding the controller so that it looked like a fist. I got this idea when flicking through propaganda books that had old World War 1 and 2 posters inside, and from that I saw the fist that were used mostly by Russians that represented power, strength and respect. I then used Shepard Fairey's style of his Obama Hope poster and used that to create my hand, background and text. I decided for colours to use colours used with Xbox so that it went with what I was creating, and the colours I chose were green and red in different shades. I also decided to use the strapline which is used in Xbox, that is 'Jump In'.

Olympic Stamp Design

 Here I have done a stamp for the Olympics and Royal Mail. I designed this stamp to match the 2 other stamp that I created previously which were the paralympic and tennis stamps. I decided to create this new one of hurdles as the one I created previously of hurdles didn't match the first two, so I took the idea of hurdles and created my stamp of a close up of a athlete jumping over a hurdle.

Xbox 360 Surface Graphics Design Ideas

Here I have designed a surface graphic for my Xbox 360 Packaging in the style of Shepard Fairey. For this, I first found an image of the sea and then opened it up large to A3 on Photoshop. I then used a wacom tablet to draw the waves, rocks and clouds using the paint tool. Once I done that, I saved it and then opened the drawing on Illustrator, then I highlighted it and went to Object - Live Trace - make to get the document to be an individual line. Then I highlighted it again and went to Object - Live Paint - Make so it would be possible for me to add colour into different parts quickly and neatly. I then used the Live Paint Bucket and chose a colour and then started adding colour into the sections I wanted too colour. I then placed in my hand holding an Xbox Controller which was inspired by Shepard Fairey's Hope poster and moved and resized until it was in the right position.

FMP Posters

FMP Final Outcome

 Here I have created my Final Net Design for Xbox 360, where I have chosen to do it in Shepard Fairey's style. For this, I first had to open up the existing xbox 360 packaging to see the net. I then did a rough drawing of the net and then used a ruler to measure the every line so I can create the net later. I then opened up InDesign and drew my net using the rectangle shape tool to draw each square/rectangle separately. I then looked into Shepard Fairey to see his patterns he has created, from that I designed a pattern using my logo, xbox controller and console silhouette. Once I done that, I scanned in the design for a rough template so I can neatly do it on Illustrator. I drew the pattern with the pen tool and then moved the shapes together to get them neat and precise. Once i done that, I placed the pattern onto the InDesign document with the net, and then made a layer underneath the nets layer. I then tiled the net until it filled the whole net and then I placed my Shepard Fairey hand with controller and placed it on one part of the net that I needed it. I then copied it and rotated it and placed on the opposite side of the other. Once I added them, I added my information and images that is found on the xbox 360 box and then drew 4 rectangles on 4 parts and changed the text to white.
