C MY K

see my k........ mystery work
but i wanted to make a piece of work as a responce
in supporting my research that CYMK is over rated

it is practically everywhere and it is getting a bit boring
seeing it all around. it's getting to be past it's celbidate in
all honesty, im waiting for some whitty ideas..

in the mean time i experimented with type
i decided that for every letter of CYMK i would
place an item which had relation with the colour
for example:

CYAN - Water, sky
YELLOW - Sun
MAGENTA - Luxery, comfort
BLACK - Spray paint - urban

here are some examples of development:







MESSY but why not play?

development

So i tried to further the type, i thought it could work better digitaly



here is the comparison between digital and real



I believe with the correct backing colour this could be a very successful piece to work with:



What do you think?

write an image

General playing, i thought i would try to make a image out of type
this is my first attempt in preperation in how to learn to make it more interesting appealing

Solo please

So, one thing i have noticed during the holidays is that i play drums a lot with my spare time



Another thing i noticed.... is that i brake ALOT of drum sticks



sooo on a fine night with nothing to do i decided to experiment with some drum type
i discovered that some letters work better than others.
i believe selected letters were a success but over all 60% of the letters do not work
what so ever and doesnt work appropriatly:





oh well.

Face the music

Yet again, every spare time of borderm i have been on illustrator practising and practising
so i can get to a level of understanding the programme to at least an ametures perspective
i have now been practising on modeled icons i enjoy here are the illustration designs:











Not much i know, but i am developing which is what i like to see
before the summer started, i can honestly say i couldn't do this!
i want to base my summer around getting more realistic with this programme
but that is only one thing i plan to base my time on. I will keep you dated! OVER AND OUT X

keeping active

hands on the ball, illustrator is getting funner and funner each day
I have started to use it for jokes on friends now, just in aid to practise it
even more, here are a few Boysie references as inspiration:





funny, personal, practise
what a designer has to do eyy

Practising Illustrator (bake sale?)

Well ive been checking illustrator out quite a lot recently and have been trying to brush up my skills on it, and all that jazz.

After the Johnny Cupcakes lecture i thought about re developing an old logo i made from my previous college, i basically thought that if i applied this to some merchendise it could bite and i could make a bit of money over the summer for rent, i call it my 'get rich or die trying scheme' but without the wholeee death haha:
