coalville recently hosted a social event within the market hall called fnm (friday night market). following the success of the debut the client has decided to hold the event again. aws a designer i have been comissioned to produce a logo, flyer and a poster to advertise the said event.



brief

for this asignment i am required to produce to conduct research and design and develop digital client visuals. the exact details of the brief have been given to me by the client representative.

The client is in need of three things a logo, a flyer and a poster to be designed for a social event that will be held at the market hall behind wilko's. This project is aimed at 13-17 year olds.
The flyers and posters will be distrebuted throughout the highschools in coalville so must be apprpriatly themed. the poster, flyer and logo need to be colourfull to catch the attention of the intended audience. The posters and flyers are linked to a music social event so the fler and poster theme muist suggest music. the quanity that will be reproduced will be up to the client. the flyer, logo and poster will all be created on illustrator purly because it is vector based and keeps the image looking crisp and clean.

think along the lines of my last i dea i have come up with anoner one. i thought about splitting an image in half one side being back and white or sepia, then having the other side in colour. the 1st side would be a photo of dead trees or bushes and the 2ndside would be full of flowers or a green feild or something similar.

war photography

looking at war photography has inspired one of 4 ideas i have to create for the set of stamps. i thought that mabeytaking a photo of an old head stone in the shape of a cross then adding barbed wired wrapped around it in photoshop and finally to finnish make the photo sepia tone or black and white. what will i require for this?

photo of a head stone cross
barbed wire photos
photoshop or something similar
camera

The semiotics in this piece freedom wise are easy to understand everyone knows that the dove is a sign of peace, but the freedom bit might be a bit harder to understand. the broken bars that the dove is behind reprent freedom letting the dove come and go as it pleases, but would the audience be able to interprate theimage it that way. well i think that everyone knows the meaning of the dove and should be able to guess that straight the way but the bars i dont think that the audience would associoate broken bars and/or railing with freedom. the colours are very bland and muted, drawing your attention to the dove. this has the same effect as the image below but may not be interpreted in the way it should be. perhaps i should think about a similar approach for my stamp design but colud thiss effect be acheived on the illustrator? perhaps i should consider which media would be most appropriate to create this kind of effect. this peice inspired me to produce the two half dove with one side whole and the ohterside as a skleton.

this piece is typical of the sixties period and is very hippie like. The typography style is also very typical of the sixties. this piece uses bright colours and symbols that are closly related with hippies. the piece portrays peace and freedom with the use of bright hues but also symbols. the universal symbol is clearly visable within the piece but there are also other sysmbols of peace and freedom within the piece for example, the flower could be interpreted as a sign of peace but also a sybol of freedom this is because a flower is left to fend for its self. the use of the black backgrounds makes the foreground colous stand out just drawing you attention to the foreground this would be nice on a stamp because it simple and everyone would be able to understand it. i have used a similar style in one of my ideas and think it is very effective due to it simplistice approach. what media should be used to produce a piece like this?
well i would of thought that this style would have been better to be produce on a vector based piece of sowfwere, i think this beacause if this was produce on say photoshop the image would contain artifacts and would spoil the aesthetics of this peice.
this pieces colours have inspired me to produce a similar styled idead with hearts and flowers.

the peace and dove sybol are the two most recognisable symbols related to peace and freedom, these two symbols in the blue circle in my opinion represent world peace. the dove outside of the circle possible is a representation of freedom, i think this because it is silouetted blue making it look like it has been cut out of the blue circle making it look like it has escaped. The colours are also closly related with peace but white is the most common. the peace sysmbol has been seet in the middle of the piece making it the center piece of the image the designer has used simple colour making a silouetted effect this could be interpreted in to one of my designs. the sillouetted dove is possible an idea i colud incoporate into a design

the semiotics in this piece are very obvious. the peace symbol is understood by eveyone around the world, and can only be perceived in one way. The colours of this peice are very vibrant, these type of hues are usualy associated with hippies and hippies are big fans on peace. To conclude the typography gives the meaning of the piece away but this can only be understood by people who can understand the english language. the font is very typical of the sixties period when hippies were at the peak promoting peace. this pieces composition is very simple. the colours are very bright and draw your eye towards the peace symbol in the middle of the piece. in order to make the peace symbol stand out the designer has added a drop shadow to show the outline. the use of the sixties style typography has inspired me produce a similar style pecie with bright hues as the background

i was just wondering how the backgorund would be produce because clearly its digital but its not a gradient so what tools/filters would be used to produce the vibrant background

mabey the designer has created a brush then just used clicked and not draged the mouse? i dont know but it has stumpped me
