Frankenstein

I have started my placement in Coleraine for the year so been very busy. Currently designing some halloween posters for Kellys nightclub, mostly using photographs but have also been practising some illustration which I feel has improved massively. Here is an illustration of Frankensteins head that I drew today.

21st invitation

I worked with a girl who told me what she wanted so we could quickly come up with an invitation to her 21st birthday so she could get it to the printers asap. We had a quick brainstorm, she chose images she wanted which I then played around with in terms of composition. This was the final invite (contact details changed for security purposes)

Elevator Advertising

An elevator provides a very different advertising experience and has opened the possibilities for many clever campaigns that have used the idea of the elevator doors opening and closing, the closed in a box feel some people get, the lack of effort or energy required to effectively communicate their message. Here are a few examples:

Great lakes science centre, using concept of opening up and seeing inside.

Oreo Dunking biscuit- Oreo is on the moving part so
 goes in and out of stationary milk.

Superman opening his jacket to reveal the costume idea to promote the movie.

Sticker to make it seem the door isnt closed properly
 to promote the Fiat Punto parking sensor.

Elevator which reveals stairs to promote healthy butter and low cholesterol,
guilt tripping people for taking the lazy option.

Putting message of Quantamino prisoners that are held in isolation.

Inside of elevator used to feel like a fish tank, promoting jelly tots, aimed at kids.

Latest Kinamba logo

There was a slight hiccup in the designing of the logo where the design had to be in Black and White so it was back to the drawing board. They also wanted more focus on Africa and hope rather than primary school.
This is my design which they have chosen to use, it is a tree to represent life and hope:

Window displays

I visited London on the weekend and as always I was impressed with the window displays especially at Selfridges which is famous for their window dressing displays. Windows provide a space where designers can go crazy and create something eye catching from any item in store to make passers by stop and enter the shop. Here are a few I found and liked from a variety of shops:
