Just started using photoshop this weekend. Patience was needed in the bucketful by those who were showing me the different techniques (thanks guys by the way!) and its a wonder I wasn't shouted at! Bookcover making takes a long time for photoshop beginner!
Some of the covers I have made so far....

Week 2.. Brief No. 2

This week we got the second brief of our vis/com ranking project. Using the research we complied from the week before, we have to design a book cover for chosen books. This means drawing up thumbnails of our ideas with the intention of developing then further down the line.

The Finished Prezi

Graphic Research Brief, March 2011

For our Graphics Ranking project, we are required to research our chosen book (for a book sleeve design) and create a presentation.
I have chosen Jane Eyre, by Charlotte Brontë.
By using prezi, an online presentation editor I am in the process of making my presentation of the research I have done this past week. It will consist of slides such as the mood, time period, location and suitable typography for the book.

Illustration Week 2

The second week of Graphics, we were required to use illustration to illustrate our given words.

I started out with small thumbnails of urban scenes such as buildings and roads. After this I carried though the urban theme, but I focused on brand name and logos as they are part of an infrastructure also.

I focused on two of my ideas and at the end of the week I produced two of my researched ideas.
