Initial idea post

For my commuication design portfolio I am thinking of keeping with the theme of film poster artwork or/and album cover artwork, with the focal point being on imagery and colour, for my Media and design Exhibition press and promotional pack.

I feel that this would work best for me, when considering the main elements which will make up this promotions package:

• A printed poster with appropriate titles: date, location, (fictional) web address etc.
• A web banner/Twitter/Facebook header.
• A range of at least four badges or stickers.
• A T-shirt with designs on front & back.
• A five or more web page design layouts (non-interactive) for iPad/tablet.
• Your research blog as a .pdf file.

I intend to research into the most iconic film and album artwork and digital design and use elements of this as inspiration and within this will hopefully find a visually pleasing theme which I can use throughout my work. I want there to be a clear link which is consistent throughout all pieces within the promo pack.

Working with camo and colour

working with digital waste

By selecting small areas of a digital waste image and then stretching them out at different angles I was able to find interesting patterns within the design, I  really like the colours which the crossover of the glitch image make. I'd like to continue exploring this in the future.

Working with glitches in imagery

By taking a coloured image of singer Sister Nancy and altering the blending options of each individual layer I'm was able to play about with and change the image to look as if it had some kind of glitch within its formation. To begin with I kept my options simple as there are three key channels of colour which make up an image, so i create 3 separate layers. I then used the channel options to alter whether the all the channels were visible or not. I then selected them individually to move their positions and create different looking images.

                             

Taking inspiration from Jonas Thessen's work

This is an original piece by Jonas Thessen, I tried to recreate my own version, using certain aspects of his work within Adobe InDesign 

Obviously my attempt is much simpler in terms of structure and content, and clearly reflects my basic skill level whilst using this software
