A celebration 40 years of David Bowie

I would take the brief a step further and produce a 40 year celebration of david bowies work . Use this opportunity for producing products to print CDs, badges, t-shirt, vinyls and posters.
make them one offs.

The Brief
Investigate the lyrics of at least four songs
selected from different decades of davids bowies work during the 20th
century. Take the opportunity to express the
essence and spirit of your chosen songs in a
typographic ‘tour de force’. You may wish to
compare or contrast, consider period, context,
locations, include biographical or historical sub-
texts, or simply celebrate the emotions that are
aroused by great words.
Think laterally, develop high quality research,
intellectual rigour and well-considered
typography. You may wish to consider the
juxtaposition of your chosen pieces – does he
have anything in common with all his songs? Does he address
similar issues/themes?

A brief 'faber faber'

STUDENT
AWARDS
2009

D and AD

(I slightly changed the brief by adding illustration)

The brief
Use typography and illustration to create a series cover design for Faber Film’s
range of books that reflects Faber and Faber’s long history of
typographic excellence.
Considerations
- The Faber Film range of books covers a variety of genres and
includes screenplays, technique guides and film history books.
- Faber and Faber will be offering this range for sale through the
‘Print on Demand’ service (PoD), which is exactly as it suggests,
copies are made available on the basis of a single customer order.
- The cover designs should reflect the already high profile of Faber’s
film list attracting both film enthusiasts and professionals alike.
Target Audience
Film professionals
Film and media students
People looking for a special gift for a film enthusiast
Mandatory requirements
- ‘Faber Film’ and the faber Logo as a discreet but integral part
of the design
- A series identity that works well in print and online
- A minimum of 3 covers chosen from the titles in the supporting
documents differentiated by colour or layout
- The design should be adaptable across two sizes. B format which is
126mm width x 198mm height (like a standard paperback) and the
larger demy format 135mm width x 216mm height.
Background
The Faber Film list has been at the forefront of Film publishing since
the late seventies. It attracts such names as Scorcese, Lynch, and
Almodavar to write about their own work, as well offering books on film
making by such notables as Mike Figgis and Michael Deeley. Faber also
publishes screenplays to tie in with film releases. Due to the nature of
publishing, it is not possible to keep our whole backlist in print. ‘Print on
Demand’ (PoD) as it’s name suggests, is a way to publish books from the
Faber Film’s much sought after back catalogue in both printed and ebook
form, as required and on demand. The launch and sale of Faber PoD
from our website will attract a lot of media attention as it enables both
students and film lovers to get hold of out of print classics such as the
‘Projections’ series.
Please note: The digital aspects of Print on Demand were used
imaginatively with Faber Finds; a series that combines illustrated
typography and computer generated design to produce covers that are
unique to each title.
Part of what makes PoD possible is the ability to use and reproduce
from design templates. Once a series style is set up, using guidelines,
a printer should have the ability to produce further covers without
compromising on good design.
Using the PoD service for Faber Film’s backlist will be a dynamic way
of creating an essential Faber Film library for anyone who loves film,
bringing back “classic” titles. While most of the traffic would be on line,
many of our top 10 film accounts from National Film Theatre bookshop
to Cornerhouse Manchester would also take copies, therefore the covers
should also stand out well on display.

Scarlet Sunrise

this is the final product of my interpretation of the book and will try to persuad Esme to try and change her mind about the colour

Book Cover Design

I have been designing a book cover for a friend who is writing a book called Scarlet Sunrise.
this is what I produced she prefers the black sun light but many people and I prefer the white sun light as it is lot more sutler and matches with the background well.

This a background photograph of sun sets and sun rise I took during the summer as my own work and get the right image and texture I wanted.



This is the design I came up with but and Esme who is writing the book likes the black a lot.



These are the full design layout front and back



Made this a lot simpler and small its not too in your face but I don't like the black



The white works much better and again the smaller design brings its simplicity


Again too big of an image



I don't like the bar code white as background spoils it

More democracy

I created some more designs of democracy's:
This time slight different meaning, this about violence in voting for example Mugabe’s aides using violence, force to get amnest and his voting rigged allegations using violence's again.

These where some idea I produced first using colour and layout
thinking about what is the right colours to use and where to put the information best fitting in the picture.

I wanted to make the image sand out by the image and the meaning which stands out
using Robert Mugabe's young face of what people wanted from him.Also using yellow as a warning sign.





I wanted to make it look like he is saying it ,using text over his mouth and shaped colour as well









I used I different image this time as to show violence's of the the rigged allegations.




This became my final design is now on the website:
