I wanted to implement both arabic and english words into the logo title and thought to do 'kuf' from the first few letters of coffee (coff) and the beans to indicate the coffee 'beans'.​
​ This title was more detailed in the way that it has more implemented into the tile. The قح comes from the arabian tea 'kahwa' (قهوة). The في comes from the end letters of coffee.
​
What does the coffee remind you of ?
Refreshing, teachers, friends, cold.
​

The inspiration I have taken from this brand is the colours and how the characteristics of coffee have been incorporated into it. It give is this strong feature with the arabic branding as well as the english underneath. The colours are neutral which I would like to incorporate into my work as it is trending and looks attractive contemporary. They also have different products which have the branding on them which I would like to include into my own brand. The colours are very aesthetic which makes the entire piece look modern and simplistic.

This brand is called Sulalat in Arabic which means varietal and they specialise in producing many different varietals ranges of coffees. For two years they have organised yearly championships for aeropresses to be able give a chance for young people to show their talents. There interior design and colour scheme is modern and bright which allows the customers to feel like they are in a rich and spacious environment. They have a theme with the florals and nature which allows the space to lighten up. There designs works well out with the colour scheme and designs throughout the store. This coffee brand is one that I will be taking inspiration of as I like how they use they're logo to show that they specialise in producing coffee roasters as well as producing coffee itself. The logo reminds me of a hook which could symbolize the making of the coffee and they receive the coffee.

This is a collage I made during a workshop using my ideas and put it onto one sheet. I printed out images and then stuck it onto the sheet and ripped the paper to give it an edgy look. I then print screened it and edited the collage and embedded my logo onto the collage.

once you have decided on the logo design, create mockups of coffee cups, bags etc

general research - what typography is used in other coffee shops?
Are there any other research sources that you like the typography on?

In my personal Investigation I want to look at how women have been portrayed as expendable. I want to experiment with the idea that women are objects that can be replaced once they are no longer needed or desirable through different techniques. I want to look into this and experiment with different styles and types of collage. I want to address this as many adverts throughout history have portrayed woman as expendable objects that are owned by men and the idea that "it's a man's world" which has given the wrong ideas and impressions to young girls. This is still an issue today with social media being a normal thing in young people's lives and the ideology that young girls must look a certain way to be desirable and "beautiful". In my personal investigation I want to take the idea of woman having to be these perfect objects own and created by society and represent it in a more literal way through collage. I want to create a campaign that uses magazines and other materials such as badges to challenge the negative ideas around woman being sexual objects which was created by adverts and magazines.

"One of the best things she ever said to me was, 'Darling, being born beautiful and getting old, is like being born rich and getting poorer and poorer every day.'" - Tracey Emin

'There Must Be More To Life Than This'

I decided to look at the work of Anthony Gerace. I love the way he removes sections of the image and leaves enough so you can still see what the image is. The missing sections gives the impression that sections of the images of the woman are easily expendable and the idea that it is acceptable to get rid of them, abandon them, or allow them to be destroyed when they are no longer needed or desirable.

Experimentation:

​InDesign ideas from Mr Trahar?

I decided to do a magazine and poster mockup because it's the way I would like to present my final piece. The idea of a magazine to promote and challenge the idea that women are expendable objects owned by society. I chose magazines as they represent the idea that after being read they are discarded and left and forgotten. We see magazines as objects we own until we are done with them and they are damaged from all the use and never picked up again. The delicate nature of paper represents the delicate nature of our feelings and self worth. I also chose to present my work in a magazine as young girls look up to models in magazines which set an impossible standard of what society sees as beautiful creating a false image of what beauty actually is which is very damaging to young girls who then aspire to look like models who have been edited and objectified throughout their careers just to end up on the cover of the magazine which then creates a never ending cycle.

I decided to try experiment with social media posts such as TikTok as well to potentially create a magazine and online adverts to reclaim all the negativity around woman being objectified by society and turn the negative words and associations to promote real natural beauty and contradict impossible beauty standards. I will experiment with creating more positive pieces using my collage work as the featured artwork to create a very unique and strange magazine that uses the negativity to bring light to the issue of women being portrayed as objects that have to fit impossible beauty standards in adverts and magazines.

Totm is a fairly new sanitary products brand, they advertise mostly through instagram and offer a subscription service for organic pads, tampons, cups etc. One of their main usps is them being organic and clean, no harsh chemicals or plastics. Their colour scheme seems to be a wide variety of pastel colours as seen above. However their packaging uses a mixture of pastel and bright colours as seen on the purple and pink box above. On the right you can see that they have used very simple but effective drawings to show their company ethos. This appeals to their target audience as it feels relatable. Many of the instagram brands have a comforting feel on their websites. The small businesses have a certain charming appeal to them.

Research existing companies (e.g. mooncup, modi bodi, tulip, billie). This shows what is already out there (competition AND inspiration!)
Write about these - are there common themes that they use? Colours? Contemporary illustrations? How do they appeal to women?
Could look at Dove campaigns (all under one umbrella?)

Then find illustrators whose work you like.
Might want to take some photos for primary research?
Could draw from these?

When creating my font through Calligraphr, I decided to opt for a swirly font. I chose to lean towards this more casual look to reflect that nothing in life is 'straightforward', there can be twists and turns when you least expect it. Take for example the 'O', normally you'd expect it to be closed however just before it's meant to close to make the shape, there's a small swirl. Such details may not have any significance when in use as we're used to looking at the 'bigger picture' but when you pay attention you begin to notice things and start to question them.
Similarly to my Calligraphr font, when creating this font digitally, I also opted for a simple look but change up some of the shapes on the corners of the shapes. ​

Anxiety is a feeling of fear or panic. When put in stressful situations, it can trigger and alert our brain and tell us that we are in a situation we may not want to be in and to tell us how to deal with it. It is common for most people in their life to suffer from some sort of anxiety however it is possible to help deal and control it.

There are five different kinds of anxiety. Everyone will suffer differently but will fall under one of these categories.This is an anxiety disorder and is characterized by recurrent, unwanted thoughts (obsessions) or repetitive behaviors (compulsions). Repetitive behaviors such as hand washing, counting, checking, or cleaning are often performed with the hope of preventing obsessive thoughts or making them go away.
Generalised Anxiety Disorder (GAD)
Panic Disorder
This is an anxiety disorder and is characterized by unexpected and repeated episodes of intense fear accompanied by physical symptoms that may include chest pain, heart palpitations, shortness of breath, dizziness, or abdominal distress.
This is an anxiety disorder characterized by chronic anxiety, exaggerated worry and tension, even if there is little to provoke it.
​Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD)

Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)
This is an anxiety disorder that can develop after exposure to a terrifying event or ordeal in which grave physical harm occurred or was threatened. Traumatic events that may trigger PTSD include violent personal assaults, natural or human-caused disasters, accidents, or military combat.
Social Anxiety Disorder
This is an anxiety disorder characterized by overwhelming anxiety and excessive self-consciousness in everyday social situations. Social phobia can be limited to only one type of situation - such as a fear of speaking in formal or informal situations, or eating or drinking in front of others - or, in its most severe form, may be so broad that a person experiences symptoms almost anytime they are around other people.

If you suffer from anxiety, you may think there isn't much you can do or you don't feel comfortable to speak up to someone about your problems. However, there are many different ways you could help control your anxiety.

Visit your GP for information and they will tell you what's right to do.

Try using apps such as Calm or Headspace which can help clear your mind and relax.

Try mindfulness and meditation. This could help clear your mind and relax.

You could visit a therapist to talk to and tell them your problems.

Matt turns to Americana and classic comic books from the 50's and 60's for inspiration, something extremely apparent in his poster work. His compositions are reminiscent of many well-known Marvel/Star Wars posters which show off many of the main characters in a calculated way. As well as posters for big brands, Taylor also designs many conceptual scene designs which usually involve a main scene and more often than not, a single protagonist that adds a narrative to the piece.

Using Adobe Illustrator, start by typing out all the words in any font or size that works

With parallel, stretch out the two L's by using the 'direct select' tool and holding shift to drag down the letters to keep them the same size.

With chomp, by using the 'eraser' tool and sizing it to use on the letters and taking out parts of each letter.

Slice was done using the knife tool to slice through each letter in a straight line and then dragged the top half to the side to make it look sliced.

Gravity was done by dragging each letter apart from each other and rotating them to give it a gravity effect.

For each word to select the letters separately, right click on the text box and select 'create outlines' to make each letter its own shape.

To size the letters, group the letters and hold shift and drag to keep the proportions the same.

The first image on the left is from Google images and is where the idea came from for the letter in the end

In the top photo in the middle, is the lino that is used to cut the letters into

To cut the outlines for the letter, use get it on the card by drawing over the lino with a trace of the letter on paper, then use a knife to make a mark of the letter on the actual lino.

For the final photo, you have to lay the lino down and cover it in paint with a roller and then press it down on a piece of card, so that it comes back out onto it

This is an illustration done by artist Malika Favre, names 'Van Gogh'. It was the cover illustration for the Metropolitan magazine's October issue. In the illustration it shows a portrait of Vincent van Gogh, with a mixture of dark and vivid colouring to present a different style. With a small amount of the face covered in shadows, the figure is staring into the distance, which gives off a menacing look.

​Favre uses a small sample of colours to bring the illustration to life in a much more simplistic and minimalistic approach, as well as the use of pointed edges to give a sharper look to the illustration overall.

​Typically, Favre likes to keep her work focused on the feminine aspect of art, however this illustration clearly goes against this favoured view of hers.

The materials used to create the illustration were all put together digitally, for example the precisely done vectors and the bold, flat colours that can be seen, merged together with multiple different layers.

​The work gives off a silent, mysterious mood in my opinion, which is due to the figure in the photo staring into the distance, at an angle where he is not facing the front of the illustration. As well as this, the colours of the illustration further back up my thoughts on this particular mood, as they are not the typical colours that you may expect to see in a portrait such as this, of a figure who is known to so many people.

​I think that the audience for this specific piece of Favre's work would be most likely those who are interested in Vincent van Gogh himself, or even just her usual audience who appreciate all of her illustrations. The image itself most likely suggests that Favre is fond of Vincent van Gogh and decided to dedicate her own style of art to him, or she has her own interests in Van Gogh as a person.

I started by creating outlines on all of them.

Once outlines was created, I had used the direct tool to stretch the parallel double l's with the blue boxes whilst holding shift to keep it straight.

On the chomp font, i had used eraser tool on a medium setting to remove dots around it finalising the typography.

Gravity was pretty simple as i just ungrouped and rotated the letters creating the gravity vibe.

On slice, i used the knife tool whilst pressing shift to keep line straight whilst i split it. Once split i had just slowly re-positioned it creating the slice typography.

Whilst doing horizon, i'd split the O and delete the other. I then positioned them into the space whilst making it all equal and fitted.

I also used to the smart guides to make sure the lines were level on all of the work.

Finally, i clipped to artboard and had aligned it vertically and horizontally making the work neat and tidy.

We had taken pictures in the style of Clip Litherland

Then we uploaded the image to photoshop in order to perfect it.

We then unlocked the layer and proceeded to transform then distort my picture.

This tool helped me align the image and keep it straight.

After resizing my image to the perfect size, I had then started to use a bunch of tools in adjustments to help theme and develop my image.

I had used levels to make my image more graphic and scenic.

I then used a low brightness with a high contrast to help detail the image.

To help mix and disorentiate my image, the hue/saturation tool helped by making the image more surreal and abnormal by changing the tones of the colours and the saturations

I also then finally used gradient map to choose my theme which is a pink-ish colour.

Once my image was complete, I then uploaded it onto Illustrator where I used a copy model to help join my work.

I had then used a font familywhich suited my picture theme

These 4 images show the development of my first image. As you can see, I have adapted and improvised my work adding more detail to improve the figure of my poster. I started by having the text unsorted and finished when the text is all sorted and patterned in order with the logo.

You can see in these development stages, I have adapted and developed my poster. This can be seen mainly by the font. I wanted the poster to match theme of the background colour.

I had used a new font of 'DaFont'. This helped improve the detail of my work by using more of a unique font instead of a basic selection on illustrator.

I also used guide lines which helped line up my work making it fit perfectly in sync with everything. This helps by pleasing the naked eye and also being aesthetically pleasing.

I then edited the logo on photoshop. I did this to match my theme. I changed it to the same colour as the font.

I also had adjusted and re-positioned my background to help fit the text in a more fitting manner. As you can see, there is a big difference.

This is my second edit. For my second edit, I wanted it to change and broaden my work by doing a different poster design. I tried 'David Bowie's birthday party' poster. I wasn't as confident doing this poster at first but when I had a go, I gained more confidence and became more ambitious by pushing my work to its limits.

I used an image in the theme of my background (red) on photoshop. I then merged it with david bowie's face. I also had used some adjustments tools to bring the colour and theme more out. After doing this. I used the mask tool to create a circular shape around the border.

I also used a new font of 'DaFont'. This helped make image more detailed as a new font is better

To help structure my text, I used a border which I then changed the colour to red to make it more vibrant.

My background also had been edited beforehand on photoshop mainly using gradient map which made the colours more vivid and shiny.

I had used the geometric letter S.

Once it was printed I had used the paper to trace the geometric design onto the lino.

After doing this, I then started to cut through my sketch with the toolbox provided.

Once I had completed this i then duplicated it onto an orange piece of paper by placing paint on the lino and rolling over the paint and lino. This helped make it duplicate as all I needed to do was place the wet lino onto my orange paper and then use a dry roller to make it stick

After doing this i washed off my lino and let my paint dry.

Once it dried, I had beautifully photographed my geometric final product. I uploaded it onto photoshop where I had flipped it as when I copied it onto the paper, it had flipped itself.

Malika Favre is a French Illustrator and also a 'Graphic artist' who is currently based in London. She combines simple illustrations with geometric patterns and also has developed a variety of unique style of illustration by using negative/positive space. Her style also consists of using elegant and oddly vibrant colours.

These screenshots are the screenshots of the layers. As you can clearly see, I have used a significant amount of layers in my portrait. This is because each layer has its own level of detail. Having a lot of layers signifies that I have put a lot of detail and effort into the portrait.
I have also named all of my layers. This is because it helps me by making it easier to allocate which layer needs to be improved or further worked on.

For the logo design brief, I'm going to be using the 'Ocean Care' company for my following theme.
The words that come to mind when I think of my theme/company is:

As my logo design is going to be based on 'Ocean Care', I have chose some logos on the net which would be good references. I would use details from these references and puzzle my own logo design brief. I did this by sketching each out and slowly overtime mixing and matching which design would suit each piece etc.

Explanation of Colour Swatch

Recognised I will use a turtle theme within my Ocean Care logo hence the use of the two green colours.

3 types of blue which would help smooth and make my logo look more pure and clearer.

​

I have done multiple sketches in order to finalise my sketch.

My sketches were also ocean-related as well having the 'care' aspect.

I used a range of ideas from my most liked sketches and then combined a finalised image,.

This edit does look decent in my view. However it can be improved in many ways. The turtle can be seen as a bit bland and plain which makes image a bit dull. To improve this I could've used more vibrant colours to help create a more vivid and surreal finalised edit.

These are the sketches for my restaurant logo. I have done multiple sketches trying to simplify and compact the design into something creative and playful with words. We have had to use a pun, which is two words in one, to help push the detail and level of artistry of my project.

This is the final chosen sketch out of the 12 I have drew for my logo

I have used my restaurant name in the burger which I think makes it more innovative.

I have also used a large area of negative space eliminating most of the blank spaces.

It is a final simplified image and It matches my restaurant due to the simplicity but the level of detail too.

In my project, I will be designing and advertising for a brand new football charity match. I will be creating alternative kits, engaging posters, ticket designs and appealing billboards to attract fans towards this event. I will be designing 2 sets of kits for 3 selected football clubs, based on 2 artists' work - I will be taking into account the clubs' background and brand. I have an unconditional love for the sport and I believe that this is a a great topic to be revolving my coursework on.

Sam Cox, also known as Doodle Man is an English artist that has a unique style of art that was described by himself as "OCD - Obsessive Compulsive Drawing". He draws using a marker pen and his work consumes walls and many other surfaces. Often labelled as 'Graffiti Spaghetti', his clusters of characters, objects and patterns group together to form a formation - almost like a virus. His work is in black and white and every pattern drawn has a purpose which never gets overlapped.

​Doodle Man labels his art as "Graffiti Spaghetti" due to the cluster of characters, objects and patterns that form a formation together. Also described as a virus, the designs are extremely intricate and every pattern represents something or someone - they never overlap. Whilst the title wasn't given, this piece of art seemingly is revolved around the ocean and the animals inside. This is due to the multiple fish, octopuses and more that can be seen throughout the landscape design.

Sam Cox's work is always in black and white with some patterns being shaded in to provide a bolder look for the art. The artist draws his illustrations on paper so his doodles can be as natural as possible and because of this, shapes are always curved to continue the endless patterns. A variety of circles and rounded shapes can be seen. The lines/ marks are always formed with the same amount of thickness and the artist often opts to draw his art on the wall. Patterns range from squiggly lines, arrows and lines to emphasise the quirkiness of the doodles with no textures being used. Due to being drawn on the wall, the art is generally quite big and wide.

The artist uses a specific paint marker pen to doodle - "POSCA" pens. This type of art is handmade and Sam Cox describes it as "Obsessive Compulsive Drawing". Due to using a single marker pen, all designs are in black and white and this implies that he wants to make his art as realistic and relatable to the doodle them as a possible.

​Despite being cluttered and chaotic, his work makes me feel relieved and distressed. The way that he connects every pattern, which has its own purpose, provides a peaceful but curious feeling that makes me admire every drawn illustration. The monochrome work reinforces this idea because it makes every design the same colour and it makes the art more intriguing to look at.

From looking at the art for a while, I believe that Sam Cox decided to brainstorm his idea of the ocean and to communicate the different elements he thinks of from that theme. Doodle Man is a famous artist that appeals to many age groups but primarily towards children due to the quirkiness of the doodles (almost like "cartoons"). I picked this artist because I have chosen a charity "Football For Humanity" in support of children and I believe I could take inspiration of Doodle Man's art, for the designs of the kits for the charity match. In recent times, art has been crafted on softwares like Illustrator and Photoshop so this makes his work more noticeable. The fact that he is drawing his idea of the ocean with human figures amongst the animals, this could relate to Geography because he is exploring the relationship between people and environments.

I chose Doodle Man's art for my football jerseys because his designs have a very natural and youthful effect - something that the target audience, children can relate to. The kits displaying similar patterns of his work, would make them appeal to people of all ages and demographic. People would also be urged to buy these jerseys as the aesthetics would have never been seen before on a kit.

I responded with 3 designs of Doodle Man's work on the football kits. After receiving feedback I realise I focused more on the football aspect than the actual artist response. I used Illustrator to form the patterns which made it too geometric and not natural; his work also had smooth curves and was used with a bold marker pen, which I did not do. I will reassess my work and form new responses focusing on getting the artists' work correct.

I decided to use a sharpie and the same tool he uses to create his art. I tried to minimise the gaps between each drawing and I tried to make every illustration meaningful. I also drew in a doodle-like manner and I feel like I have done well recreating Doodle Man,s work with these responses. My only concern is the football top on the right image but in both pieces of work I created an enlarged response with A3 and a normal response using A4.

More doodle responses...

2-3 more hand drawn illustrations (A5?)

3 x digital doodles (use a Graphics tablet)

Then take these designs and layer them onto plain football kits (ask sir about mockup files)

Have a play with making patterns (on Photoshop/Illustrator or using Repper. Or all!)

​Use these patterns on your shirts

add experimentation with colour

any more examples of Polyak's work?

Do some typography responses to this work - take players' names and fit them into circles (or other shapes)

​3 x hand drawn (start in pencil - lightly! Draw yourself a shape template and try to fit the letters in

Have a play on PS/Ai to warp letters (ask Mr T for help in Ai!)

Warp letters into shapes on Ai

Could use players' initials and number?

Once you have these shapes/letters - then try layering your doodles into them

Ilya Bolotowsky was a Russian-American painter and his work was known for it's geometric abstraction and cubism. Bolotowsky incorporated geometric forms and fixed colours like green, blue and purple. His work mainly involved rectangles and triangles and sizes varied to create unique, intricate patterns. I chose this artist for my kit designs because I believe his style of work would create a fashionable but rare set of jerseys that fans would be willing to pay for.

Here are my responses to Ilya Bolotowsky's work. The style models had patterns that were replicated but I failed to include any sort of colour to them which made the distance between the artist's work and my responses even greater. I managed to create a geometric feel but I did not research more into the artist's techniques. I will re-evaluate my work to do justice to Bolotowsky's style of art first, before applying that to football jerseys.

Do some more hand drawn designs - think about using colours of football teams (could combine home/away colours?)
Use all the different graph papers in the drawer to help you!

I did not have paint available to me during this time so I worked more on the colour scheme and the positioning of the shapes. I feel like I managed to focus more on the art than the design on the football jerseys. Moreover, my use of rectangles and squares create a similar feeling like Bolotowsky's work without making it too identical.

Collage responses
​Use the origami paper/cut out shapes to create collages in response to Bolotowsky

Digital designs - vector shapes

Designs on football shirts

Look at Crossway font research
Use block colours and shapes to create letters/numbers relating to the footballers
Hand drawn (graph paper)/collage (origami paper)/Fontstruct.com

Then...

combine the typography and designs
e.g. designs across the shirt, with font/type cut out
Pattern on the front/number on the back
​etc

Pedro Azedo's typography has sharp corners and a stylish pattern that I thought would go well with Bolotowsky's geometric work. I applied Azedo's font to my 2nd alternative set of kits and I think it compliments the geometric theme I am working towards.

Create more models on grid paper
Create more models digitally (players names etc)

​The reason why I chose the first typography design was because it resembles a football related zine which will help me assemble a zine for my charity match. The design is extremely eye catching and trendy due to the style of the poster and the font used, The white artwork surrounding the font has a doodle-like design that will appeal to children who the event is aimed at. I also believe using the outline of the font helped emphasise the slogan and this is key for my project because I want my message to be easily interpreted by parents and the youth. The stretched typography also empowers the statement and adds suspense, which will be necessary for the promotion of my charity match. This typography model provides an uplifting but direct feeling whilst also containing a dynamic mood which works with my ideas.

The 2nd model is simple but effective when advertising the charity match. Unlike the 1st design being very intricate and flashy, this model is very minimal and bold - a good contrast to have when designing a zine. The style and style of the font emphasises the significance of the event and it will be easily interpreted by all age groups. The warped text also makes the design more appealing otherwise it may be seen as dull and boring.
​

The 'Touch' model provides a distinctive and clear design that is a mixture of the designs above. Whilst the colours used are black and white, the typography has a very unique design and is an advertisement for Nike bringing a necessary sporty feeling when viewing my zine. The text only contains one word, something that I may change to suit my slogans however the use of negative space at the top is refreshing and will help my zine become more diverse and interesting to interpret,

As my previous models were mainly title designs, my next two will contain space for information that I will alter to make appropriate for my zine. The middle design shows an image with empty shapes that I will begin to fill. I like the layout and font as it continues this them of bold and simplicity.

The last typography design contains rotated text, overlapping the information with a pale background to contrast with the black text. I chose this design because even though it does not contain any designs or graphics, it focuses the reader towards the information and this is crucial in order to have a balance of images and information in my zine.

I believe my response to the first typography design was great because although I added my graphics inside the text and as an outline on my zine, it still provides a similar effect to the original model. Also, I added my own colour scheme whilst extending some parts of the original graphics. The graphics are my interpretations of Doodle Man.s art and the use of the range of colours on the page will attract the targeted audience of the football event which will be for a children's charity - Football For Humanity, My only concern was not finding the correct texture from the first design but I think I still managed to contain a lot of the correct elements used.

Whilst I replicated the 2nd design well, I felt that it was too dull and I excluded it from my zine. I experimented with graphics and artwork but I felt it did not display the same simplicity as the original model hence why I used the slogan for another page.
​

I began experimenting with the 'Touch' typography and managed to create something with a similar pattern. I kept the black background and text layout, whilst adding a few more words and graphics to blend the page in with my zine. I created this page to advertise the charity and I think it highlights the youthful significance of the charity whilst its purpose is revolved around football. However, I believe I could have used better colours to express the typography better, but I think that with the colours of the logo and Doodle Man art, it compliments each other well.

It was crucial to implement information for my charity kits hence why I included this page with a closer and clearer look of what design to expect on the jerseys, The page is very informative and helpful but I believe I did not execute the balance between tea and negative space well as some viewers would think this page is very crammed and congested.

In the final response, I feel like I left the correct amount of negative space whilst adding graphics that made the page contain more excitement; The tilted heading is very prominent and does not overlap the text like the original design, this is a great model for my zine.

​​I chose the 'Chalkduster' font because it provides a natural and youthful feeling due to it's non-geometric design.
I chose the 'Stretch Pro' font because of it's boldness that helps make the text clear; having the subtle pattern provides a sporty element and this font contrasts with the first as the important information will be displayed using this text, attracting older audiences.

​After designing every individual page, here is the final result of my zine. (advertising the alternative jerseys made for a one of football exhibition match for a children's charity. After taking elements of the typography designs, I decided to select a colour scheme that is vert bold, noticeable and prominent. I chose a pale red colour but throughout the zine, a variety of bright colours are used from the Doodle man illustrations which provides a flashy and youthful feeling. Illustrations range from a one page spread, a spot page and as a page outline.I managed to use a maximum of 2 fonts, one being very natural and playful whilst another being direct and geometric reflecting the target audience is for children, but adults/ parents are the ones to be reading the information regarding the origin of the kits' design. A front and back cover is present and I opted for large titles with unique typography to attract viewers.. Copy text is also no more than 10pt as required. I am content with how I displayed my Doodle Man illustrations with the stylish front cover and on the corner of pages. Moreover, the zine looks very colourful and I believe it brings energy reflecting how the football match will be like.

Unfortunately, I couldn't find a texture that I envisioned and I think thats what the pages require to look the best. Furthermore, i would change the 2 pages on the top left due to being too crammed and messy. Although I like the back cover, a better choice of colours could have been used to express the typography more.

I am aiming to complete all the tasks Ms Deane has set, including:

- Creating 2-3 more Doodle Man football designs (Digitally + Handmade)
- Implementing them on football kits
- Creating patterns in Sam Cox's style (experimenting)
- Typography responses of Dan Polyak's work (Players - initials - numbers)
- Creating hand drawn designs of Ilya Bolotowsky's work (using graph paper with football team colours)
- Using origami paper to create his style of art practically
- Research Micheal Irwin and his work, use block colours/ shapes to form a font - fontstruct?

In my project, I will be designing and advertising for a brand new football charity match. I will be creating alternative kits, engaging posters, ticket designs and appealing billboards to attract fans towards this event. I will be designing 2 sets of kits for 3 selected football clubs, based on 2 artists' work - I will be taking into account the clubs' background and brand.

Architecture that combines old and new.
Intro: as a growing society, we need to constantly expand. One way in which we do this is by adding to existing buildings. Examples of architects or buildings are…

Building 1: architect, what style is it, what is the building used for, when was it expanded, what style have they gone for (complimentary/contrasting)? Etc etc.
Building 2: as above
Building 3: as above
Conclusion: do you think that these architectural combinations wor well? Why? How do your examples demonstrate this?

Writing about the allure of fantasy, J.R.R. Tolkien famously asserted that there is no such thing as writing "for children" - that's perhaps why his stories continue to enchant generations and attract admirers of all ages. Tolkien's first major work, The Hobbit (public library) - which predates his epic novel The Lord of the Rings by nearly 20 years - was published in 1937 and in the years since has drawn remarkable international acclaim. Because the story is driven by visual whimsy, it has also produced a number of vibrant illustrated editions from all around the world, beginning with Tolkien's own artwork for the original edition, which I wrote about some years ago. Here are a few favorites.

J.R.R. TOLKIEN (GREAT BRITAIN, 1937)

In October of 1936, Tolkien delivered to his publisher the manuscript of The Hobbit, in which he included more than 100 illustrations - Tolkien, unbeknownst to many, was a rather gifted and prolific artist. These manuscript drawings were recently released in The Art of the Hobbit (public library) - a magnificent volume celebrating the 75th anniversary of The Hobbit with 110 beautiful, many never-before-seen illustrations by Tolkien, ranging from pencil sketches to ink line drawings to watercolors.

In creating the artwork for The Hobbit, Tolkien borrowed from a short story he had written for his son Michael, titled "Roverandom."

Also included are conceptual sketches for the now-iconic dust jacket cover painting of the mountains Bilbo Baggins transverses in his adventures.

See more of Tolkien's art here.

TOVE JANSSON (SWEDEN, 1962)

In 1962, shortly before she received the prestigious Hans Christian Andersen award, beloved Swedish-speaking Finnish artist, writer, and creator Tove Jansson illustrated a Swedish edition of The Hobbit. Janssen was at the peak of her career and brought to the Tolkien classic her signature touch of subtly wistful whimsy.

Alas, this gem is now severely out of print, practically unfindable online, but available at some better-stocked public libraries.

RIYÛICHI TERASHIMA (JAPAN, 1965)

In 1965, artist Ryûichi Terashima illustrated a Japanese edition of The Hobbit, notable not only for its delicate line drawings but also for the exquisite production of the book itself, which mirrors the sensibility of Terashima's art with lavish paper and luxury binding. It has been reprinted several times, as recently as 2008.

The book is currently out of print, but used copies can be found online; alas, not at the library.

MIKHAIL BELOMLINSKY (RUSSIA, 1976)

In 1976, Russian - then Soviet - artist Mikhail Belomlinsky took on the Tolkien classic shortly after graduating from an MFA program in painting, architecture, and sculpture. The opportunity kicked off Belomlinsky's career as he turned to political cartooning and children's books. He went on to illustrate more than 100 of the latter, both in Soviet Russia and in the United States after his move to New York City in 1989.

JIRI SALAMOUN (CZECH REPUBLIC, 1979)

In 1979, when he was forty-four - the same age Tolkien was when he published The Hobbit - the Czech artist, graphic designer, and illustrator Jiri Salamoun was commissioned to illustrate a Czech edition of the book. He brought his eclectic background in visual storytelling and the graphic arts - spanning film poster design, typography, book illustration, and silk-screen printing - to the project.

This vintage gem is also a rarity, but some libraries do have it.

BONUS: MAURICE SENDAK (UNITED STATES, 1967)

In 1967, six years after legendary editor Ursula Nordstrom had nurtured his creative direction and four years after his iconic Where the Wild Things Are, 39-year-old Maurice Sendak was commissioned to illustrate a 30th anniversary edition of The Hobbit. But the project fell through, leaving behind only a single surviving drawing, which Open Culture unearthed.

A realized edition would've been unimaginably wonderful, judging by Sendak's artistic interpretations of literary classics like William Blake's Song of Innocence, which he illustrated the same year as the failed Tolkien project, and Tolstoy's Nikolenka's Childhood, completed four years earlier.

"When I was a little Whoop of a thing, the Breck girl was considered the standard by which beauty was judged. You had to have good hair – which meant straight, flowing and ponytail adaptable – light skin and thin lips. If you were like me, you knew you stood a better chance of winning a Nobel Prize than of waking up beautiful." - Whoopi Goldberg

"White projections of beauty had ‘brainwashed’ black women so much so that the painful processes of straightening hair and bleaching skin had been normalised" - Assata Shakur

“One thing that is really important to me is diversity on the channel. It’s hard as a young person of a different ethnicity or background to look at the TV and not see anyone who looks like you. Representation is very important.”  I didn’t like my hair and makeup one time on a photo shoot, and my publicist told me, "You should just be happy with it — they haven’t had a black girl on the cover since forever." Braids are not new to black culture — we’ve been using them for years as heat-protective styles. It’s part of our culture. But they never became beautiful, popular, interesting, fresh, fun, all these adjectives until they were on somebody who wasn’t black. The second they came off a black woman, they became beautiful and interesting — [the style] became appropriate for the world. It’s the same thing with features. - Zendaya Coleman

"black beauty is infinite." - Joelle Avelino
