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:

Kinamba Charity Logo

The Kinamba project is a newly established charity that provides nursery and primary education for the poorest children in the outskirts of Kigalii in Rwanda. It also provides adult language and literacy classes and craft programmes. I was asked to design the logo and based my design on the primary colours and shapes that children would learn at nursery and primary school and built them up to make a K:

Battle of the Bands

I was asked to design flyers, posters and tickets for another charity event. 'Battle of the Bands' raising money for CLIC sargent for children with cancer. I went for bold bright and simple so that it is easily seen. I wanted minimalistic text so that it did not loose interest from people looking at it and in the case of the flyers stands less chance of been thrown out straight away. Here is the design I produced:

My typography project

This is a poster that I made in 1st year when we had a typography project. The brief was to design a poster showing the good qualities of a given font. I was given Clarendon, through research I discovered that it was used for wanted posters so decided to base mine on this and represent Clarendon as a person to help describe it's high points. Ive only just been able to convert it to a jpeg as my laptop doesnt have Clanendon which wasnt helpful when doing this project but luckily I had access to macs in university.

This was my final poster: 

Label and packet design

When shopping in Sainsbury's I tried to stick to my new years resolution of eating healthier by staying away from the biscuit aisle. Looking for new healthy snacks I noticed a lot of cool labels of products I would not normally consider so I have decided to have a look at what interesting label and packet designs I can find. Here's my favourite that I found:

new Cv cover

I quickly went off my old design and so started from stratch and this is what I came up with. I much prefer it and think this is the one that I will send off and fingers crossed somewhere will want me!
